Dock repairs in Wolfeboro

[XCR-700]

So is that a yes or no on increased capacity?

All the major towns on the water on Winnipesaukee could stand 50% increase in town dock capacity.

On a weekend its a nightmare to wait for dock space and the boater etiquette is very inconsistent, some very nice and respectful and helpful folks, and some total self-absorbed opportunists, always looking to get ahead and jump the line.

I rarely go up on weekends anymore and never on a Saturday. Its just not a nice enjoyable place to be with all the big egos and arrogant attitudes you see on the water. Then to add insult to injury, is the poor people who know nothing about boats/boating (or almost nothing) and make the mistake of renting one on a Saturday and then trying to dock somewhere like Wolfeboro and you cant help but feel bad for them them when it goes really badly. Its a scene I do not enjoy watching and work hard to avoid in recent years.

The docks were not extended, and no new docks were added, so I think the answer to your question is "No additional space was added". Boat docking capacity is dependent upon the size of the boats at the docks.

The posts are further away from each other towards the end of the dock which can make finding the right spot and tying up a little tricky (depending on the size of your boat). I have a feeling this is going to create even more chaos on busy days.

That's too bad. I usually count the posts, assuming 8 foot separation, to judge whether I can fit in a particular spot. Is the handicap dock still at the wrong end? i.e., far away from the parking lot instead of close to it?

The big posts may still be 8 ft apart. They just felt wider apart for some reason when I was there, but comments from camp guy suggests they used the same template on the piles. So you may still be good if you are planning for 8ft when you dock this year. Can anyone confirm the exact measurements? The stick posts that cover the first 30% (or so) of shoreline are DEFINATELY shorter distance apart though compared the large posts.

Not sure about the handicap spaces. Too distracted chasing my kids around the dock to notice.
