  Largest boat tie-up - Lake Cumberland Raft Up 2010 sets world record

 MONTICELLO, Ky., USA -- 1651 boats gathered and tied up on on Lake Cumberland near the Conley Bottom Marina near Monticello during the 'Lake Cumberland Raft Up 2010' -
setting the new world record for the Largest boat tie-up.

   The previous Guinness World Record for the Largest boat tie-up was 1,454 boats set in North Carolina in 2004.

  The boats had to be connected in a single line for at least one minute with at least one person on board. Just about any kind of boat or personal watercraft-from a canoe to a huge houseboat qualified for the event.

   A judge from the Guinness Book of World Records confirmed that 1651 boats were on the lake tied together to achieve the title.

   The Lake Cumberland Association of Somerset, Kentucky, had hoped to have more than 2,000 boats and personal watercraft for the "Raft Up."    

    But breaking the record wasn't the only good news for the area. Organizer Craig Stratton explains, "Oh, it's just wonderful. I mean what most people don't understand is there's so many tourism dollars that come into this area this weekend because of this event. Folks are buying gasoline locally, they're buying food locally, supplies locally. You know it's just really a great event."
