The only think preventing the boat from sinking to the bottom of Okanagan Lake were the dock cleats.
The boat was put into the water about a week ago. Why it took on water is not clear.
The Kelowna Fire Department was called out to prevent any gas or oil from polluting the lake. So far, there were no noticeable leaks.
Officials at the Kelowna Yacht Club say the owner will have to call in divers to hook up the boat and pull it out of the water with a crane.
