Nobody truly knows at what speeds those "flipped-and-sank" accidents occurred.
NHRBA posted that they had acquired the
NH Marine Patrol's 2002-2006 Accident Reports—wouldn't it be edifying to this discussion to disclose the factual speeds here?

Sorry, Jon, but an anecdote is not a FACT.
(I'd very much like to read, "it rolled over" in an official MP report, too!)

Radar? Reading a
windsurfer?
Jon, are you speaking to the same effectiveness of radar over water as this post?

We ran a radar trap for a Poker run in upstate NY. They were unable to get a read off ANY of our boats. That included one run that they asked us to go with in 30 feet of their boat. The radar was run by a certified officer and he could not make it work. So how do you measure speed on the water?
