Especially in a ten foot boat.
An amateur sailor trying out a new hobby needed to be rescued by the Coast Guard Saturday afternoon after he capsized his 10-foot sailboat off Lovers Point.
Coast Guard Boatswain’s Mate Russell Howard said the sailor, whom he didn’t identify, apparently misjudged the strength of a stiff breeze and flipped the boat over.
Though he managed to flip the boat right-side up, the sailor couldn’t bail the water out fast enough and needed a tow back to the Breakwater Cove Marina.
