Original Toronto Star caption: A Choppy Lake Ontario greeted the competitors in the final legs of the Canadian Open Lightning Championships yesterday. Two vicious line squalls; dark skies and driving rain turned the competition into a disaster. Several boats were capsized; including one which carried a non-swimmer. However; several other boats dropped their sails to offer aid to their rivals who were tossed into the cold water.
