I would guess there is a national park ranger trying to enforce the regs on Jackson Lake but they are spread so thin because of funding. In fact at Jackson Lake they don't even enforce the national park boat registration fees. Sent from my iPhone On Aug 30, 2013, at 10:00 AM, "stevetrapp" <stevetrapp@q.com> wrote:
David, I haven't sailed in your area, but I know what you mean about kids in their daddy's speed boat, they are the bane of small sailboats. Kids in their daddy's speed boats are also a problem on the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon, and I will bet they are a problem on many waters. There is a Police Harbor Patrol on South Puget Sound with a boat and jurisdiction to give out tickets when a ticket is appropriate, maybe similar agencies would help in other areas. Steve M-15 # 335

My name is David Schuster, have a M17, and live in Lander, WY. We are about a 3 hour drive to Jackson Lake and have sailed the lake several time. Yellowstone lake is a Great Lake to sail and we sail it more often then Jackson Lake. Main reason being at Yellowstone you don't have to put up with all the kid from Jackson Hole who, using their daddy's speed boat to party on the lake. At times it can get annoying. Yellowstone is quite and no one on it but a few kayaks. One of the best places to sail. Put in at a Grant Village, great place.

Hi David,
I live in Jackson Hole, and sail my M17 on Jackson Lake. It is a beautiful place to sail. The lake is down to about 25% .capacity , but is still a wonderful but challenging lake. The wind is fairly irregular with occasional afternoon thunderstorms. Things can get exciting then. There is no sailing on Jenny Lake. Feel free to call me if you get here. I'll be in California myself till Sept 13.
