A fair question.

The MPs, who seem most enthusiastic when enforcing sailboat registrations, haven't been exactly handing out reports like candy. I've never seen a single-solitary Marine Patrol report in all my years on Winnipesaukee!

The only official MP report I've ever seen on-line alleged:
Quote:
"New Hampshire lakes had the highest number of accidents per acre per 1000 registered boats."

On the US' most dangerous lake -- they reduced its accident rate by half over the last four years.


However, in the same four years, they increased their fatality rate by triple! (Severity of their accidents are on the increase).
