The difference is that a high-speed powerboater can easily kill a kayaker – the opposite is not true. Many powerboaters on this forum have admitted that they often have trouble seeing kayaks – and...

Personally, THAT is none of your business! I actually have no idea at how many times I have paddled on Winni or on any other NH lake, since I don't keep track of such things. But I've paddled there...

This law is based on safely and on the common sense. Powerboaters who feel that it is their "right" to travel at unlimited speeds on the lake has made winni dangerous for other boaters. It is as...

Perhaps if you did kayak out on the main lake, you would better understand why a speed limit is necessary. In my opinion, it is insane to allow unlimited speeds on a lake that is populated by small,...

Again, this just requires your group's being willing to adapt. Races are held by boating groups all the time, so this is indeed possible.

This is a really poor analogy, since you still get to boat on the exact same lake, and not a smaller body of water - you just have to go a bit slower.
A much better analogy would be kayaking on...
