• As we saw at this forum, VB posted circumstances of speedboats'
swamping in a zone officially designated for "no-wake".
• Combined with videos and/or witness testimony of exceeding that speed—
or exceeding any other limit on speed—the organizers and participants would be liable for damages in New Hampshire's Civil Court.
• During an infamous Lake Winnipesaukee fatality case in New Hampshire's Civil Court, we've observed that insurance companies
aren't always required to pay out damages.
