You can say what you want with regard to boating accessible issues, and you can make any argument you want with respect to who boats, but the absolute plain facts in the Wolfeboro case have nothing to do with boating and everything to do with this single individual's grudge against the Town.
It would be interesting then to hear why the Town wen't overboard. Their present rules re: the HP boat slips is waaaay more than required by the ADA. And I'm not at all sure they even need, legally, the be compliant with the ADA. Only new or largly reconstructed docks need to be. Oh well it's Wolfeboro's loss because, as said above, I and a lot of people will speak with our wallets.
