Sorry for the duplicate posting (also in test area)

I'm an "owner to be" of a new 250 WK (delivery in mid-September), will be sailing the Chesapeake Bay area. I plan on joining the association once I have a number.

Unless someone in the area is already using the name, I plan on calling her "Event Horizon". A preliminary scan of the owner list didn't turn it up, but I could have missed it.

Thanks

Oh jeez...and I was just going to change my boat's name to Event Horizon. Wouldn't you know. Oh, okay, I'll leave it as it is.

Welcome Jeff. Good luck with the new 250.

Steve

The USCG database (http://www.st.nmfs.gov/st1/commercial/landings/cg_vessel2.html)
has only 5 other Event Horizon boats listed. This makes it pretty rare, at least among documented boats. My own boat is Compass Rose, and there about 72 of those. I think you can safely estimate that there are probably 50 to 100 named boats for every documented boat.

Thanks for posting that link Greg. I found out there are no documented boats with my boat's name. Now I'll probably waste the rest of the day looking up my friends' boat names.

Greg,

I was wondering if such a database existed. Thanks for the link. It would seem that at this point I'm not treading on anyone in the Chesapeake area, so Event Horizon it is!

Thanks

Jeff,
I had just renamed my boat Event Horizon but you can have it...I'm going back to Edgy. Those guys at the drawbridges kept giving me weird looks!

Jeff,
Welcome and congrats on the new boat!
The boat name's fine but we already have a member with <i>your</i> name . . . wait that's <b>McKay</b>. Never mind.

Any particular part of the Chesapeake where you'll be sailing?

Welcome to the forums Jeff. That's quite an appropriate name for a boat since you'll soon notice that ever increasing amounts of your money will get sucked into it never to escape the event horizon, nor be heard from again. :)

Willy: Thanks for the flexibility. Oldsalt: I hadn't thought of it that way, but an excellent & accurate analogy. Bubba: Mostly between Baltimore & Annapolis areas for now, with trips to the eastern shore.

Thanks to all.

Jeff,

Congratulations on your new boat and welcome to the Chesapeake. We sail out of the Bohemia River in the far NE corner of the Bay. Unfortunately we don't get as far south as Baltimore/Annapolis often because it is more than a weekend for us, there and back. But you'll enjoy it as it is a beautiful sailing area.

Re your boat name, it's a good one! Are you an astrophysicist? I haven't checked the Coast Guard list but I think I can guarantee that our boat name is not on it.

Jeff,

Fellow Chesapeake sailor and 250 owner here. I tie up a couple of slips down from Bubba. Please let us know if there's a weekend cruise or raft up in your future. You can contact me at sdaly@nsf.gov

Jeff,
My buddy Mark keeps a restored Sailmaster off Wise Avenue on Bear Creek in Dundalk. Anywhere near you?
