The brief article said this was a pontoon boat --- can't imagine that capsizing when at a sandbar.

Perhaps your daughter is crossing accidents with the capsized boat on Winnisquam a week or so ago

If you read the "I Boat on Lake Winnipesaukee" facebook page, someone there who actually helped save the kids described what happened. There was no capsizing. The kids were on the sand bar and apparently at this area it drops off quick. They all went out too far and got in trouble. All I can say is thank God there were smart people around to help them out as it sounded like the parents were somewhat in shock and didn't know what to do. One of the kids needed CPR to be revived!...

Could of been a tragedy but thanks to smart boaters around them everyone will live to see another day!

Kudos to those other boaters who saved their lives!

One of the most important things you can teach your kids is how to swim.Maybe they could swim and the conditions just got to rough anyways glad there was people there to help when they needed it.

It was very windy Saturday. Possibly the wind contributed to the problem.
