Sky, NoBozo and others.... I am not a performance boater and I have never been one. The most hysterical part of all of these debates is that most of the people that were "on the other side" are not "performance boaters." I own a BOWRIDER capable of 49MPH. That is the fastest boat I have EVER owned. My observations could not be more unbiased IMO. I support ALL activities on the lake. I own more NON powered boats than powered boats. (2 Kayaks, 1 Canoe to 2 Power Boats, 1 Bowrider, 1 50HP Whaler). So PLEASE SKY_NH and others do not lump me in with "performance boaters" as I am NOT one.
My comment stands. I am sorry but I felt the original post from elchase was misleading. If he/she really feels the need to claim that winni was UNSAFE for sailboats prior to the garbage legislature that passed last year that is B.S. In and inflammatory IMO. sorry if you disagree but that is my honest opinion. This is the statement is nothing but conjecture and unfounded criticism and biased opinion as far as I am concerned:
"We always knew there were hundreds of would-be sailors around would take to the water as soon as it became safe to do so again...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, .... Hoping the sailing associations will see that Winnipesaukee is open for business again and start scheduling events here again."
As for the Sailing comments I agree... Great to see those beautiful boats out on the lake.
