Three Thrown In Lake Winnebago When Sailboat Overturns

Three people were thrown into the waters of Lake Winnebago yesterday afternoon when a catamaran sailboat capsized off of the east shore. Sheriff's Sergeant Jeff Bonack says the incident was reported by a witness on shore who saw the boat and someone in the water. The incident happened about 1 ½ miles northwest of Columbia Park. Deputies responded from the Sheriff's Boat Patrol. Bonack says one of three who had been on the sailboat was picked up by a passing fishing boat, one by another sailboat, and the third remained in the water trying to upright the capsized boat, which eventually was up righted. No one was injured. The Captain of the catamaran was Thomas Tomter of Grafton, Wisconsin.
