If you go to my original post #4 and follow the link to Woodys' PDF file you will see you are correct. A number of the "accidents" reported were at zero MPH or while moored meaning they occurred while rafting or docked etc. as boats bumped into one another.

The bottom line is the article was written via press release. No background or research was apparently conducted by the author into the NH accident statistics or what they actually represent and that is a shame because once again the non-boating public is going to perceive NH as a dangerous place to boat and have a good time.

Something Winnfabs is no doubt proud of!
