  Harbor's  entrance,  within one hundred feet of the shore, a dock, pier,

  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.

  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

  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.
