"Visitor" Invades Quiet Winter Harbor...

News Hawk Wed Jul 01, 2015 8:20 am

'Didn't mean to leave out Wolfe/Gil:

This is a Donzi who makes a regular appearance every Memorial Day weekend; however, something must have happened to his engine for 2015, as he didn't appear on MD weekend. He isn't as fast as in previous years. He's an out-of-stater, originating from his own personal "No-Wake-Zone" near Melvin Village.

He must know that the Marine Patrol only checks Winter Harbor during late afternoons—if ever!

Believe it or not, I'm asked at FATP why I'm not showing his "Switchable-Exhaust". (Seems he's left it home, or his dog ate it).

Just before (and after) the following image, you can see "wobbles", as shown by reflections off the rear quarter of the speed-demon. That's indicative of dangerous chine-walking.

Much of the year, it's quiet here, as shown by the following restful video:

Note the echoes of Loon calls from the hills—the same quiet that we have on the less-travelled parts of Lake Winnipesaukee.

News Hawk Wed Jul 01, 2015 11:00 am

From looking at the video again, there is definitely "chine-walking" when he first appears into the first frame.

It's been said—and I don't question it—that occurs at 70MPH.

From a professional engineer with a mechanical and aeronautics background...(who wrote the article in your link)

Hull inconsistencies or design issues, incorrect hull setup, water/wake conditions, even wind conditions or driver inexperience can initiate chine walking.

Believe it or not, I'm asked at FATP why I'm not showing his "Switchable-Exhaust". (Seems he's left it home, or his dog ate it).

Of course you ignore the fact that a switchable exhaust can only be used at idle speed, not underway and was approved on the lake to reduce noise levels at the dock...nothing in the law regarding engine noise level changed when switchable exhaust became legal. Regarding your video, the engine noise certainly did not sound excessive.

Poor you...someone used your lake without your permission. Razz

Oh Wait....You are one of those out-of-state summer visitors Evil or Very Mad

So there are at least seven conditions that "initiate" chine-walking. I don't believe any professional engineer has viewed my video; however, he does say that the condition is dangerous, and "can't be 'driven-through'".

I don't know the scofflaw's skills; however, you may know him and his skills: that he may not be in control of his boat in Winter Harbor (or anywhere else on Lake Winnipesaukee) is very sobering.

Unless you have specific knowledge, nobody is saying that the subject boat is in compliance with either New Hampshire's speeding or noise laws. The video speaks for itself, and I expect to have many more by the end of the season.
Maybe you can let me know when the next "Fun Run" is taking place.

Question:

Is it your opinion (from the video) that the subject boat can achieve 80-MPH?

You are the visitor to this state- you have no clue if the boat operator is or is not.

It must be terrible to be so miserable!

Your head must explode when you go on OSO or Scream and Fly!! Very Happy

You got ONE right!

Woodsy wrote:Its a 16 foot boat...HARDLY an ocean racer! Its actually designed for water skiing... the original model name for the boat was Ski-Sporter.
You never see "offshore boats" offshore, anyway.

Woodsy wrote:With the engine above 2000 RPM he wouldn't use his switchable exhaust anyway! Your lack of comprehension of how that system works truly amazes me! Especially since it has been explained to you so many times!
How did you determine that the boat was equipped with a switchable exhaust?

Woodsy wrote:Harassment? WE the PEOPLE of NH have a RIGHT to use the Lake in any manner we see fit WITHIN the LAWS & RULES set forth by NH RSA's and SAF-C 400! If those uses annoy you.. well too bad for you!

If you don't mind, I'd like to point out that some of your PEOPLE are not playing nice with the NH Marine Patrol.

Woodsy wrote:Your family property borders what is essentially a State Park... you do not have any RIGHT to Peace and Quiet. You are not a captive audience... Feel free to move... Like maybe just stay in Florida?
It's changed in the many years we've been here. This "State Park" has brought death and destruction through your practice of boating at high—and now, ILLEGAL—speeds.

(In case you'd forgotten—'thought I'd point that out).

Woodsy wrote:I will not justify your ISIS comparison...you do a great disservice to those people in our armed forces who actually fight & direct the war on terrorism...

Nobody can justify death by a cult of high-speed SCOFFLAWS.

Seems you've lost the argument, when resorting to the name-calling of a child.

Did I hit a nerve?

Woodsy wrote:So you took a video that shows a boat! You claim a violation of 2 RSA's and that the boat is dangerously chine walking. I don't see it. IMHO, The boat is certainly not over the Db limit and neither is the boat chine walking or violating the speed limit...
There's little point in responding to an advocate who is willfully blind (and/or deaf).

Unless you have specific knowledge

THAT IS SOOOOO FUNNNNY coming from you! Laughing

So there are at least seven conditions that "initiate" chine-walking.

And the one that YOU selected must be the correct one!

I also find it interesting that you post an edited version of a posting from Winni dot com with someone who according to the memberlist, does not even belong to this forum.

You are an out-of-state visitor from the state with the highest number of boating accidents in the country. Coincidence? I think not! If you don't like it, go home.

If you don't waste you money on drugs, fast boats and cars, it is possible to own more than one home. Once out of the military, you can call any place you want, "home". I doubt you've lived in one Lake Winnipesaukee place longer than I have.

As for Florida, they have our share of idiots on the water—and an extremely long coastline upon which to dock (or crash) their boats. One ocean-racer known to my neighbors left the seacoast to a quiet mid-Florida fresh water canal, and demonstrated his drag-boat's performance to his girlfriend while she sat on an embankment. She witnessed his unskilled death at his boat's "hole-shot".

Two boaters were e-rased in "Ocean-Racers" in one weekend last year—in a boating season that is 365 days long.

"Self-crashing" happens here on Winnipesaukee too often:

Did he place rocks in the treads of Nazi Panzer tanks as an 11-year old?

I have no idea- I already noted that he NEVER talked about his service and he lived the last 5 years of his life in my home. I only know of his service through his records which conclude up his service with "performed these duties in combat". I do know that he landed in Algeria and Sicily with the 1st Division, then was attached to the 29th for Normandy, landing on June 6 on Omaha Beach. The point was that he was humble and peaceful and certainly was not going to start trouble with peaceable boaters Very Happy

I've boated with my renters, and they're concerned for their grandchildren. They're also interested in relaxing by the natural sounds of the Big Lake—as I do—and are not from Massachusetts.

So Donald Trump never sold real estate interests?

BTW, it's not my house—but a good investment opportunity. I'm also selling a boat for a friend. "Trade" (and profits) is what made this country great. Government is too good at erasing the gains of those who believe in free trade.

WPD has only emergency jurisdiction on Winnipesaukee waters. As I said elsewhere, I won't be at my lakefront cottage during the renters' stay.

Yes, I wrote "Independence Day", to memorialize the sacrifices of The Founders—and not just to glorify another risky and hazardous speed-boating weekend on Winnipesaukee.

Where are you registered to vote? Florida....that is your legal residence making you just another out-of-state summer visitor. Since it is obvious that you don't like it here at Lake Winnipesaukee, I suggest you go home and enjoy boating in Florida. Given that Florida has the worst record of boating accidents in the country, maybe you can start your crusade against everything that floats and has an internal combustion engine down there...and since you are such a compassionate human being

I am sure that they will welcome your ideas with open arms. Your work here is done, now go home.

I don't "visit" here, unless a six-month stay is considered a "visit". Weekends are "a visit", and included among your responsibilities as a boater.

I do enjoy boating in Florida, but I have family here. They're not moving either.

obervantone wrote:Given that Florida has the worst record of boating accidents in the country, maybe you can start your crusade against everything that floats and has an internal combustion engine down there...and since you are such a compassionate human being.

I have compassion for the nameless three decapitated in their own Ocean-Racer Cigarette in Gilford, one Jack Hartman of Meredith (Baja), the two who died on Long Lake under an Ocean-Racer, and one Stephanie Beaudoin, 34, also of Meredith. (Whose neck was broken in a "Super Sport" Formula).

I don't have compassion for those who imbibe while boating. As noted previously above, Massachusetts figures most prominently in alcohol consumption in those tragedies. (Less so, Floridians).

The others were likely relaxing, reading, having some food (we cooked a beef on pork tenderloin on the boat yesterday), and having a drink or two.
