OK, I've heard all the arguments, both speed limit and non-speed limit. I am in favor of an unlimited speed limit somewhere in the broads only. Some meters by some meters area of open water is necessary in order to go X miles per hour. That's it, end of story. It lets those who want to go X miles per hour in an area do it, and protects those who do not want to navigate in those areas a chance to avoid it. We have maps to avoid rocks, so why not "high speed areas". Please don't tell me that kayaks will suffer because I don't think that kayaks have a place in the middle or even on the edges of the broads. For those boaters who fear the "high speed area" WATCH OUT" or avoid it. It is a comprise solution just to get beyond this controversy.
