A 12-year-old boy has been killed in a sailing accident on Long Island.
The boy was taking lessons in Northport Harbor at the Centerport Yacht Club on Tuesday afternoon when he was struck by a propeller.
The incident started moments earlier when the sailboat was intentionally capsized as part of the lesson. The 12-year-old was pulled out of the water by the 18-year-old instructor, but then fell overboard.
