3 letter boat names....

[struth]

are these OK or are they frowned upon by coastguards, RYA, MCA, fellows in the club, etc?

 

[KellysEye]

We know a boat called Io, at customs in the Caribbean they would give their boat name and the response was 'how do you spell that'. I don't thinks anybody cares how long a name is but it helps to be memorable.

Frowned on by fellows in the club old chap, just so absolutely never done. Toodle pip!

 

[Concerto]

Why. Yes. that was the name of a yacht. Followed by Why Not.

Then there was If and If Not, followed by If Only and If Again.

I also remember a Hustler 25.5 called Io as well.

I saw a boat in the Caribbean called dx/dt (pronounced velocity). His next boat was called d2x/dt2 (acceleration).

[Twister_Ken]

A famous Admiral's Cupper was called 'Imp'.

 

[Vara]

I chose a four letter name...vinyl lettering is so expensive.
Offset by having Liverpool as port of registry, should have chosen Rye.

 

[jerrytug]

CK smack called 'Fly', top name.

There's a boat in our marina called FCNK - on the radio he calls her as "Fur Coat"!

Only thing you're not allowed is things like pan pan or over.

I've known ten and Una.

 

[Drews]

My Moody 38cc is called Yak

 

[Ripster]

"EOS" is moored next to us.

 

[colind3782]

IOU would be appropriate

 

[SteveTibbetts]

I bought Tzu and didn't give it a thought. Nobody's ever mentioned anything untoward about the length of name and I liked its brevity when buying vinyl for the tenders re-naming.

My Moody 38cc is called Yak

Top name, that joins the shortlist for my next yacht's name!

 

[Dave-Shafa]

Ka near me.

 

[aquaplane]

Saw KEA on charter in Ardfern last year. Some wag had put an I infront with insulation tape.

Saw a Moody31 in Port Solent today called DUO, my own boat IANA named after the huntress Diana I understand.
