Michigan puts more restrictions on PWC
Article Abstract:
Michigan lawmakers passed in early summer 1998 a comprehensive, five-year bill, called the Personal Watercraft Act, which will increase the minimum age of personal watercraft (PWC) operators to 14 years old from 12 years old. In addition, the law, which will be effected starting Apr. 1, 1998, will also forbid operation of PWC from an hour prior to sunset to 8 a.m. The regulation, which will expire after half a decade unless it is extended by lawmakers, broadens PWC no-wake zones on the Great Lakes to 200 ft from 100 ft from shore.

Article Abstract:

TPI Composites Inc, the former builder of the boats which had to stop production when it developed the SCRIMP molding technology, will assist in the switchover to USWatercraft by offering consulting and training. The reintroduction of the J/24 is in time with the new growth that the class is experiencing in several parts of the country.
