This is another example where education is the most important issue facing NH boating. Of couse if boaters know ROW rules but do not care, education is not successful.
In my observation I would say this violation of the boating rules on Winnipesaukee is a close second to violation of the 150' rule.

I agree with propeller. I came upon a number of ROW violations every weekend that I am out there. There was one occasion that an MP boat was on plane out of Glendale within 50 feet of other boats. I was assuming he was on emergency but he was not flashing his lights. What burns me is that a number of boaters thought it was OK as the MP was doing it. The bay went crazy that day.
