About Our Technical Team

Dunc was more than able to do all the technical work himself. However since his death in 1992, we have relied on the training and expertise of a variety of experts. In 2010 this team has grown to include specialists in the areas of GIS mapping, hydrography, visual design, and cartography. And the charts are the ONLY ones designed by university-trained cartographers.

Here are some of the most important ones:

Data

New Hampshire Marine Patrol provides us with invaluable assistance throughout the year. They provide us with readings from their Global Positioning System on buoys and, increasingly, on recommended cruising routes. Also, each winter, the buoy placement crew reviews the existing charts and identifies planned changes for the coming season.

NH Department of Environmental Services provided the stream flow data which we incorporated as a new feature in our charts.

NH Fish & Game Department reviewed our existing charts and provided updated data for our exclusive mapping of fish species and their locations in the lakes. Fish & Game is also the source of the bathymetric data, having conducted the last official survey of the lakes in 1966.

Anchor Marine, the former owners of Meredith Marina, Y Landing Marina, Parafunalia, and many, many of our other retailers supplied us anecdotal and factual information from their own experience and that of other boaters during the season. Bob Andrews at Anchor reviewed our prototypes for the 2002 season and suggested many improvements. Paul Wiener at Parafunalia, and Barry and Arlene, formerly at Meredith Marina, shared their insights and customer comments that enabled us to improve the charts for 2005, the latest Winnipesaukee chart. Dave Ferroulo of Fathom Divers and Tom Wachsmuth at Dive Winni are our sources for all information about sunken wrecks and other dive sites.

Mildred Beach for decades was the administrator of the Lakes Region Association and a lifelong friend of Dunc's. During his lifetime, Dunc's charts were distributed exclusively by Mildred, working for the Lakes Region Association. Mildred has advised Sally on her recollections of Dunc's guiding principles, as well as opening many doors to other sources around the region.
