Aura component specialist step2. Not able to save BoatSearch .cmp, .jsand helper aswell

Having issue with formsubmit event I guess. Below error is showing up while saving BoatSearch.
Failed to save BoatSearch.cmp: A aura:handler that specifies an event="" attribute must handle an application event. Either change the aura:event to have type="APPLICATION" or alternately change the aura:handler to specify a name="" attribute.: Source.

Hi Vamshi,
The code is working fine at my end. Is this still giving errors?
If the formsubmit.evt event is a component event, use the following
<aura:handler name="formsubmit" event="formsubmit" action="{!c.handleSubmit}" />
Or instead, 
you can simply pass the attributes like:
<c:BoarSearchForm FormData="{!v.formData}"/>
Try making minimal use of events.

1. Your event type should be component
<!--formsubmit.evt-->
<aura:event type="COMPONENT" description="Event template" >
    <aura:attribute name="formData" type="object"/>
</aura:event>

2. aura:handler should look like this
<aura:handler name="formSubmitHandler" event="c:FormSubmit" action="{!c.onFormSubmit}"/>
