I'm a Member of the Safe Wakes Coalition and the Passenger Vessels and Education Subcommittees of Harbor Ops.  I skipper/own the charter yacht Prelude, a 54' ketch, and broker all the charter yachts in NY Harbor.   I've lived on board at W. 79th St Boat  Basin for 37 years.  I've boated in most of the harbors from Venezuela to Canada and I believe NY Harbor with its wakes, wide canal characteristics and  commercial/recreational mix has unique problems.  The goal of this website is to educate recreational boaters on boat handling, wakes mitigation, emergencies and security in a mixed-use urban harbor.   This website will also be used as a trial balloon for the 3-year pilot project iboatnjnyharbor of the Harbor Ops Education Subcommittee.
