Boat Name

[Sixpence]

Working on it /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

[Marmalade]

There's a "Wabbit" in Neptune Marina.

How about Fencer - has a vaguely naval feel to it...

 

[Sixpence]

Belly button has that naval theme too though /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
Still think Skippy is a good and simple name

 

[Athene V30]

With all these er... "good" suggestions I'll have to have a think about it!

See what news tomorrows survey brings!

 

[CPD]

Flipped ?????

 

[CPD]

Keruoise is actually quite nice tho

 

[Athene V30]

Kerouise is growing on me now that I can actually pronouce it without loosing my teeth!

Also take Jim's point regarding the original owner / builder from whom I am buying the boat, he seems a really nice 'old' boy who like most of us is sad to see his pride and joy go.

I have promised him I'll look after her well and in doing the Azores Challenge achieve part of his dream which was to complete an OSTAR in her - no pressure then!!

The boat I spent my childhood on is called that. Still going stong after 75 years and almost as many refits. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[pyrojames]

You get used to it, trust me. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif I like Karouise, although Fencer is good too.

Use to have Dawn Wind of Kirribilli, and now Croix des Gardes, try getting marina or coast guard to get them right first hit!

 

[Sixpence]

Must admit I like Karouise, but the down side of it is when using it on VHF you are more likely to have to clarify it more than once as it's out of the ordinary, and that could be a pain after a while. No mistaking Flipper, Full Circle, Morgana, Sixpence or loads of others, but Karouise could cause some confusion. All IMHO of course /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[Wunja]

Karouise is good...

How about Dee Dee Lamb Nation?

Sorry, been out in the Barcelona sun too much... and No I'm not watching Chelsea or the Grand Prix!

 

[Jezlyn]

How about "Spirit of Flipper".

Or as you keep her in Brightlingsea I always thought "Backtonight" would be a good name as it gives you a choice of moorings.

 

[phatcat1]

I still really fancy "Juicy Cleats"

or perhaps "Knot a Clew!"

If you are having Flipper & Skippy, what about Lassie.

or maybe Re'furly

 

[phatcat1]

As we have a Sixpence, how about Sick Squid (Six quid)

Penny Farthing maybe /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[SwedishLass]

Plan z....... planzee....panzee....pansy.....oops maybe knot.

 

[johnalison]

I'd go for "Bleeding woman" - as in "Cut Lass"

 

[Slow_boat]

How about 'Cleaver?'

 

[Otter]

Karouise may need spelling but we had a boat called 'Monkey' and the CG asked for that to be spelled /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Maybe a bit late, but I named my Sabre27 (same designer as Cutlass) "Xiphias" which is the name of the swordfish genus. How about Xiphos -Greek for sword!
