There's lot's of reasons people might be against boats anchoring overnight on Winnipesaukee. Personally I think it should be clearly legal and the problems dealt width like any other problem.
But inventing safety reasons, just shows either dishonesty or an ignorance of boating. Thousands of people anchor overnight safely on the seacoast and on the lakes of many other states. Even with prodigious Google skills, I doubt anyone can find reports of anchored boats causing damage to nearby docks or boats, short of hurricane conditions.
This is a public nusiance issue not a safety issue. Anytime two or more people gather together, eventually there will be a disagreement. The simple answer is always prevent people from gathering, Unfortuantely this is not always the best answer.
