Amusing Boat Names

[claymore]

There was a FF somewhere called "Puff the Tragic Wagon"

Dear Heart wanted to call a boat we had, "All rabbits friends and relations" - not a good name if trying to run calmly through a Mayday....

 

[Easticks28]

A couple of 'hot' dingys seen here abouts - 'Slippery when wet' and 'Pink inside'.

My wife always grins at a motor cruiser we regularly see called
'String of Pearls'.
Some may need to 'Google' for the 'urban' translation

 

[TacXX]

Seen in the Netherlands a while back:
"She's got the house" on a nice sailing yacht.

 

[aquaplane]

My wife always grins at a motor cruiser we regularly see called 'String of Pearls'.

Obviously an educated lady.

 

[monkfish24]

Saw a powerboat today called E-fishn-C

 

[hornblower]

Hairdresser

I moored next to a UK boat, whilst cruising in Netherlands, owned by a hairdresser. His boat was "BLOW WAVE".

An old photo, but-

 

[ANDY123]

Red hull Enterprise called 'Tomato Sloop' and a Little fishing boat called 'The Codfather'

 

[Duffer]

I knew a rowing tender apparently named "Eau you are oarful, but I like you" after the Dick Emery catchphrase. It was abbreviated to "Eau!" on the transom presumably for reasons of space!

 

[Capt Popeye]

on a boat, down here, in the South West -

'me ansome'

 

[lefkasman]

I assume you mean the Hunter 27OOD? Used to belong (and possibly still does) to a friend, who purchaed it with her dad's inheritance. Her name is Ellie Wainwright. If you see her say hi to her for me (haven't seen her for years).Bob

Can't recall ever actually seeing anyone on board the boat, but the name is prominent on the sail cover, I will make a point of looking out for the owner this summer and if it is Ellie I will indeed pass your regards on to her.

Wot Iceberge???

Last summer I was moored next to a steel 40 footer in Fort Gaios, Paxos, owned by a German and his missus.....and the name of the Boat?????

TITANIC

I kid you not.

 

[johnalison]

I've never seen it, but somewhere there must be a "Djinn Palace".

 

[Aries]

Dufour Arpege, owned by a medical Doctor, called "Therapist".

The name was changed by the new lady owner.

 

[Tomahawk]

I've never seen it, but somewhere there must be a "Djinn Palace".

All owned by the same chap who had a thing about about Djin..
I had Djin Seng for a while before she passed on to Nigle Theadham of Rig Magic ....

Sounds like Nick Stratton on the Clyde, various boats with Djin in the title.

 

[Razorfish]

There is a Beneteau in Swansea called 'Fun to Fondle'

and a cat at Mumbles unforgivably called 'Itchy Pussy'

Oh and my mate has a Hardy 18 called Blue Pig. It was going to be Black Pig after Cpt Pugwash's ship but it is blue and a bit piggy so logic dictated....

 

[claymore]

In Fleetwood - Prawn Star.

 

[BERT T]

Many years ago a small yacht in Portbalintrae harbour with the name "myfanny" on the transom.

 

[rwoofer]

A few years ago there was a black rib in Haslar called "Crime Pays"
