SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (AP) — Authorities in Northern California say a dozen children participating in a sailing school had to be rescued after a large swell of frigid, choppy water overturned several small boats.

The Santa Cruz Fire Department says the sailing school was in session at around 4:30 p.m. Sunday off the coast when a large wave capsized about four vessels. Officials say about 20 people were tossed into the water, including 12 children.
