Name The Boat Contest


Over $650.00 in prizes to help a Trans-Atlantic rowing team name their boat. The first prize is a package worth over $500 and there are 5 additional prizes!

About the Boat

This is not just any boat you're helping to name - it is a boat that will be rowed in the 2009 Woodvale Challenge Atlantic Rowing Race from La Gomera, Canary Islands to Antigua, West Indies (approximately 2,900 nautical miles across the Atlantic Ocean). This is currently the only American team signed up for the race, and is one of the few comprised of all women rowers, including Anne Miltenberger, Kelly Nothstein, and Lauren Greenspon, who plan on making history by breaking the world speed record for their crossing, while trying to bring attention to the environment by supporting Keep America Beautiful. Please help them name their boat!
