Operator stated that he and five children aboard were on a field trip from the City of Rochester Parks and Recreation summer camp and was conducting a tour of Irondequoit Bay. Operator said while they were sailing, he noticed a storm front approaching and decided to return to port. He turned the vessel from a southernly tack to a northerly tack, when a strong gust of wind "backwinded " the jib and capsized the vessel. Operator said him and all the children were thrown overboard into the water.
