Capsized!

Fast moving storms and 25-40 knot winds forced Hobie Cat sailors to abandon a day of racing on Lewis and Clark Lake in Yankton, S.D. June 5, 2008 during the North American Hobie 20 Championships. Several boats in the field of 33 capsized or de-masted due to severe wind gusts, forcing officials to cancel the day’s races. Sailing resumed again the next day, with final races held on Saturday, June 7 in calm winds. Oklahoma natives Phil and Bev Collins took first place in the race.
