On the way to work this morning I heard a report on CKNW that a dragon boat with 11 paddlers had capsized last night in Squamish.  According to the report, everyone was rescued and no injuries were sustained other than hypothermia.

I haven't been able to find any other reports on this incident.  Does anyone else have any details?  Aside from ensuring everyone really is okay, I'm interested in hearing any details about the actual incident and the cause as there may be lessons to be learned.

I got this from a Google search

Squamish rescue
Rescuers in the Squamish area had to work fast to prevent a tragedy when a dragon boat flipped in the waters of Howe Sound.

Eleven people were in the canoe-style boat when it capsized off the Squamish yacht club, just before five o'clock yesterday afternoon.

Several rescue boats rushed to the scene, pulling all 11 paddlers out of the water.

No one was seriously hurt. (CKNW)
