The blue pins on this page indicate the buoys that will be taken out in Narragansett and Buzzard’s bays if the USCG’s new plan goes into effect.
DISAPPEARING MARKERS It’s ironic that during National Safe Boating Week we have to call out the USCG for wanting safety hazards to go unmarked. Over the years, most of these markers were put in place for a reason - to help keep boats off the rocks! New England - from New York to Maine - is famous for its rocky sea bottoms, yet that’s exactly where the USCG is yanking out the buoys. See where the buoys will be coming out in Maine, the Long Island Sound, and Boston.
IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE Take a look at the two props above. It is quite obvious why the Shorrow prop (r) grips the water better that the three blades on the conventional prop (l). "Grip" means: "take and keep a firm hold of; grasp tightly." The conventional prop design can't do that as can be plainly seen above. See how the old-design props were smoked on a Pursuit S328 with 2x 300-hp Yamahas.
