[Agenda topic ] Harbormaster Report <br /> Discussion: Stephen Mone, Harbormaster, reported that he had lost several' No wake' markers when <br /> someone removed the caps and sank them. He felt the summer had gone well with the beach closure <br /> discouraging some of the jet ski and fast boat crowd. He mentioned he had given several verbal warnings <br /> and now had ticket books to write warnings. When Linda asked about the number of citations written, h <br /> mentioned that his emphasis was o "trying to educate"the public. He did say that violation of the swim <br /> area markers would be ticketed. The death of ars assistant harbormaster did limit coverage on the lakes. <br /> Barbara mentioned that once the sv *m markers were removed at Dowell Holly the fast loud boats returned <br /> in September. Again, it was mentioned that the boating season on the late was much more civilized this <br /> summer due to the beach closure <br /> Stephen mentioned the larger boats on the lake this year and wondered if the conunittee'vold be <br /> interested in trying to limit the size of boats. A ruling on this would have to be passed by both Mashpe <br /> and Sandwich and then seat to the Mate. The committee voted -o to ask the Town to limit the size of <br /> boats on the lake to 26 ft. in length. <br /> Conclusions: The Harbormaster emphasized education and.warnings rather that ticketing for violations. <br /> The idea of limiting boat size on the lake was approved by the committee. <br /> 4..
