I may not be the only person on this forum who doesn't know what a P26 is.

Funny you should mention those two. My sailboat and a salmon-fisher (blue canopy) had the Broads to ourselves early this morning. Later, a yellow kayak popped out of Winter Harbor, where too many boats were waterskiing and tubing: a few Jet-Skis and others came out later, but everybody was civil and going about their business.
On the Broads
southeast of Welch Island, I'd estimate that for every sailboat this year, there were three powerboats; however, I had been counting all
moving powerboats.
I'll have to revise my estimating now: the ratio of sail to power may be much greater than I'd thought. For example, on the Broads late yesterday afternoon, sailboats handily outnumbered powerboats by three-to-one!
Of those close enough to identify, there were three Sunfish, a Phantom, a Cape Dory Typhoon 17, a Hobie 18, and a Rhodes 19 (with two gals who left their mooring off Snake-Eyes' "headquarters"). Scattered elsewhere in the distance were a handful of medium-sized sailcraft.

The dominant few can kvetch among themselves now.
I thought the new "permanent" bill should have been presented at the end of this season.
...But just think of the incentive for sane and civil behavior on the water
for two whole years.
Hey, the wind's just come back up!...
I'm goin' sailin'...
