Reading this forum, one would get the false impression that Winnipesaukee is of no use unless one has a performance boat and is allowed to boat as fast as he can, but this summer has surely proven otherwise. When I was a boy in my sailfish, this lake and Champlain were considered the premiere fresh water yachting destinations in the Northeast, and numerous major yachting events were held in the Broads. Hoping the sailing associations will see that Winnipesaukee is open for business again and start scheduling events here again.

Interesting, I never saw a closed to sailing sign at ony point on the lake. Its called sharing and the majority do it well. The others are what we call boneheads regardless if they are burning gas or filling sails.
