Default Dangerous mega yacht warning for Maine

Roger, with all due respect, a large wake should be regarded as just
another wave in a seaworthy and decent sized boat such as yours.


With all due respect, it is well to keep in mind that the
operator of a vessel making a wake is 100% responsible for
the damage done by his wake. It is exactly the same as a
person with a gun being held responsible for where his
bullets end up.


.... It
is unreasonable to expect people to slow down except in a confined
area where you could lose control.


It is unreasonable to expect to endanger... or even present
a major & potentially expensive inconvenience... to other
people and have them shrug it off.



Almost all boats of that size are piloted by professionals and will
respond positively to requests presented in a professional manner.


That's been my experience as well, but the exceptions are
always noteworthy.
