RedactedNarrative: On 3/22/18 at approximately 1:45 pm, i arrived at carolina east medical center in new bern, nc to investigate a boating incident that had occurred earlier that day.  At the medical center i spoke with the four occupants of the vessel that was involved.  All four were being treated for hypothermia.  I first spoke with operator.  He reported that he and the three other occupants were sailing earlier that day in the neuse river.  He reported that a strong changing wind caused the vessel to capsize on the starboard (right) side.  
  
  He reported the vessel quickly filled up with water.  He reported the vessel eventually sank and all four occupants ended up in the cold water.  He reported they attempted to swim to shore which was approximately half a mile to one mile away.  He reported they swam for approximately 30-40 minutes.  He reported all four occupants were wearing pfds.  
  
  He reported that rescue crews eventually showed up on scene and pulled all four occupants out of the water.  He reported he had heard that somebody on land evidently had witnessed the incident and called 911.  After speaking with operator, i spoke with the other three occupants who corroborated what operator reported.  
  
  Operator later reported that damage to the vessel included a cracked rudder, paint damage to the underside of the hull, and port damage.  Nothing further at this time.
