Crews arrived at the state park in Quakertown just after 1:15 p.m. and quickly located the person who was wearing a lifejacket, Robert Sweeney, Assistant Park Manager told Daily Voice.

The individual was not in any immediate stress or danger, and no medical treatment was necessary, he said.

"There are typically a few over-turned sailboat calls every year at Nockamixon," Sweeney said.

"The causes are usually newer participants to the hobby or just a simple mistake on navigating wind conditions and making a maneuver on the lake."
