Great Kills Harbor. 1. No vessel shall be operated in Great Kills Harbor
extending beyond the Crooke's Point Jetty to the lighted buoy at the
Harbor's entrance, within one hundred feet of the shore, a dock, pier,
raft or float or an anchored or moored vessel in a manner or at a speed
that causes a wake that unreasonably interferes with or endangers such
dock, pier, raft or float or an anchored or moored vessel but in no
event at a speed exceeding five miles per hour, unless for the purpose
of enabling a person engaged in water skiing to take off or land.

2. The provisions of this section shall not apply to any vessel
competing in or practicing for a regatta or boat race over a specified
course held by a bona fide club or racing association, provided that due
written notice of the date of the race has been given to the appropriate
law enforcement agency at least fifteen days prior to such race,
pursuant to the provisions of section thirty-four of this chapter, and
all provisions of this section have been complied with.

3. Any person who operates a vessel in violation of any of the
provisions of this section shall be guilty of a violation punishable as
set forth in section seventy-three-c of this article.

4. Nothing in this section shall be construed as prohibiting any town
or county from continuing, adopting or enacting any other local laws,
resolutions or ordinances related to persons operating a vessel within
its limits, but no such municipality shall have the power to make less
restrictive any of such provisions.
