USCGC Blackthorn-gctid347934

[Guest]

I am new here and future owner of a 2850 Contessa. I am sure I will have many questions about this in the future. And from what I have obseved so far, this is the place to get those questions answered.But for now just this.Today is a Memorial Day, of sorts, for me.It was 32 years ago tonight that the USCGC Blackthorn WLB-391 collided with the Capricorn, and 23 guards man died. This incident is an example of the importance understanding proper communications methods between vessels (what to use, how to use, and when to use).

Welcome,

I am also a proud owner of a 2850 and there's lots of information here. If your boat is like mine it has undergone some changes since the factory and the members here can help solve the mysteries.
