NTSB Factual Report

The pilot was landing the float-equipped airplane when a gust of wind picked up the left wing. He was unable to correct for the wind, and the right wing contacted the water. The airplane rolled to the right and came to rest inverted, sustaining substantial damage to the right wing. The pilot reported no mechanical anomalies with he airplane prior to the accident.
