Can't recall races in Paugus Bay. The marathons were on Winnisquam and Winnipesaukee. Exhibition skiing were on Opechee, Alton Bay and Long Bay in Wolfeboro. I believe there was a national exhibition in Lake Opechee in the 50's
Winnisquam Ski and Boat Club have races off of Bartlett Beach in Laconia
Winnipesaukee WS Racing was in front of the Weirs. Most races head down Meredith Bay and return. The marathons 60 and 30 were from the Weirs around Steamboat Island to Meredith and return! A significant feat attracting skiers from all over the country! In the 70's ski boats were drag boats with 800 HP engines pushing 125 mph! Catalina harness and Maharaja long boards was a must have!
Yes Diane, there were girls in the race! Somewhat intimidating the boys! They can hold their own!
