I’ve never been to France but I’ve been to Boulder CO and I’m certain this boat has never been there lol

For sure. But, where one documents the hometown for their boat often has no bearing on where the boat is located or has been. For example I know of a boat that shows Mos Eisley as the homeport!

Technically it is the hailing port that is displayed. That is, where the vessel sails from and not the owner’s address.

I guess I’ve never really tried to understand the port of call rules. I just used where my slip is.

Youre not the only one. Ive always thought of the location as the boats home port, not where the owner lives.

I'd also expect the location to be, you know, navigable.

It's always fun to see a Great Lakes freighter, 700 feet long, homeported in Edmonton.

My home port is my town, which is landlocked in the middle of my country.

I need to give a national homeport on my national registry application. My boat is abroad. SO I can't put in the actual port, it would be stupid to put one of our coastal towns where the boat has never been.
