My daughter called her Feva "Don't Panic" but insisted the letters had to be upside down on the hull.

Well, boats with weirdo names, one has to go far to beat with sheer brass balls, Rodney Pattison: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious in which of course he won 3 olympic medals (2 golds).
But for nice boats with a great names, it is difficult to beat 'Jolie Brise ', three times winner of the Fastnet Ocean Race, two times overall winner of Tall Ships Races.

Jolie Brise is/was a pilot cutter, I think (le Havre?)
Another lovely name for a pilot cutter - "Kindly Light" (now under restoration at Gweek Quay)

Saw a tart trap at the Moody second hand show one year which was called "Hello". Just imagine that name on the VHF. Seen similar boats called "business" and "the office" - no doubt so that the secretary could say "he's away on Business".
Kids want me to call the new boat "dads navy". No chance.

When I started sailing OK dinghies in the '60s there was one in the fleet called "Poppy Tupper". Took me a couple of season to work that one out as I were only an innocent lad!

My old pal kept a boat on Loch Morar named 'Fochinell'. Thankfully, he never had to call a Mayday! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Has anyone heard that boat names should end in 'A' for good luck. I hadnt heard this (tho my old boat was Ayesha) but a friend who is commissioning a H-R 40 swears this is true.
What does the team think?
