Question Braun Bay "Optimist"?

You're generally in favor of the sign, then.

There are homeowners on both sides of Braun Bay—some quite close to the revelers. (The closest being "for sale"). Could it be that the majority of complainants are those homeowners who face east?

"Optis", for those unfamiliar with the international "Optimist Pram" class, this photo:


While "Optis' are often seen with even "littler" kids at the helm (than the above) an even smaller boat, the 6' "Cape Cod Frosty", is designed for adult sailors:



Since neither is over 12', both have "the NH advantage" of no registration fee required annually.

Any idea what the nature of these called-in complaints is? Braun Bay's southerly exposure should be fairly calm. (Except for the day I was cruising there! )
