If a safe landing as defined in these rules is not possible, skiers must be picked up by the boat before coming within the 200-foot-from-shore line and brought to shore under the established speed restrictions (5 MPH within 200 feet of shore). Boats towing skiers may exceed 5 MPH to the extent necessary to maintain the skiers in a skiing position within 200 feet from the shore line only when taking off or landing under safe conditions as outlined in this section. However, boats may not exceed the 5 MPH speed restriction, including the take-off and landing of skiers in tow, in the areas listed in section (2) of this rule: (a) A "safe" take-off or landing with a skier in tow is accomplished by leaving or approaching the take-off or landing site within an arc which has its center at the take-off or landing site and which is not closer than 45 degrees out from the shore on either side. It is not a "safe" landing to approach a landing site parallel to the shore line. Take-offs and landings should be made in a counter-clockwise pattern. A take-off or landing will not be considered safe unless it can be accomplished without risk to the safety of any swimmers or other watercraft; (b) No boat shall follow behind a skier closer than 300 feet, nor cross the towing boat less than 200 feet, nor alongside a skier closer than 100 feet.
