Sailing
I'm amazed at the lack of dialogue on this forum about sailing. We always knew there were hundreds of would-be sailors around would take to the water as soon as it became safe to do so again, and this summer has proven that out. I counted over thirty sails in one view across the Broads one recent Sunday afternoon. Reading this forum, one would get the false impression that Winnipesaukee is of no use unless one has a performance boat and is allowed to boat as fast as he can, but this summer has surely proven otherwise. When I was a boy in my sailfish, this lake and Champlain were considered the premiere fresh water yachting destinations in the Northeast, and numerous major yachting events were held in the Broads. Hoping the sailing associations will see that Winnipesaukee is open for business again and start scheduling events here again.
