Hi Mike,

In the 1990's there was a parasailing business on Winnipesaukee by the Weirs and, for a short time, in Paugus Bay.

I believe that they had to move the business from Winnipesaukee to Winnisquam for a season or two before returning to Winnie for a season or so. I thought it had to do with rules. The business left the area several years ago with some folks claiming they went to Lake George (where the parent company might have been) or sold to an outfit in Florida. That's what I recall with my photographic memory - unfortunately my photographic memory has old and bad film!

Today, the only restriction I can find on boat Parasailing in NH is as follows:

PART Saf-C 413 WATER EVENT AND SLALOM COURSE PERMITS
Saf-C 413.01 Permits, When Necessary.

(a) Pursuant to RSA 270-D:4, any individual who undertakes the following activities shall obtain a permit from the commissioner:

(1) Waterski slalom;

(2) Waterski jump;

(3) Fishing tournament or derby;

(4) Waterski show;

(5) Boat races;

(6) Boat parade;

(7) Parasailing; or

(8) Other water event.

(b) Permit applications shall be obtained by writing or calling the department of safety, division of safety services, office of the director, 31 Dock Road, Gilford, NH 03249-7627, (603) 293-0091.

Maybe Skip can find more applicable RSAs.
Good luck.

I don't know where the Parasailing outfit went, but when they left they sold their "building" to my parents for a couple hundred dollars, which they used (and continue to use) as a shed. We sawed the parasailing sign in half, put the pieces on top of each other and made a ramp for the shed.
