Boat names

[Dan Tribe]

It's grey, wet, windy and miserable here at the moment.
A yacht just went past with a very grumpy looking couple in cockpit.
The boat's name.
Shared Fun.

 

[Marmalade]

Mis here in Brittany too

 

[pyrojames]

You called your boat Brittany Too?

I can't see Khamsin, the fog is down on the water and the mooring is a couple of hundred metres from my front window.

Oh, hang on a minute, she's still in the drive where she's been since September 2105...............................

Khamsin (pronounced with a "ch" as in loch - Hamseen in Arab tongues) is a cold, very strong southerly wind which blows in the Sahara creating ferocious sand storms.
Not an atom of wind here tonight.

I'm quite surprised that your forum name isn't The Doctor.

I'm going to have to think about that suggestion - the little grey cells a bit fogged-up this morning

Sorry, it was a bit obscure and smart arsed.

Oh f'goodness sake !!!
This has plagued me since my early school days. Even though I read through my "writings" I fail to see the bleedin' obvious .

Thanks, and very witty of you.


Hopefully Khamsin will go back in the water before then

 

[Triassic]

The name came with the boat however....

"The Triassic began after the worst mass extinction ever, at the end of the Permian. Life on Earth took a while to recover and diversify. ......... The period ended as it had begun, with an extinction event that wiped out many species"

If anyone has been racing with me they'll know just how appropriate that name is...

 

[Marmalade]

You called your boat Brittany Too?

Got me there!

 

[Denek]

Many years ago I had a little lysander painted red and I named it blood vessel ( actually it was my neighbors idea).

 

[ZoeImogen]

It has been suggested, over a couple of beers, that it would be amusing to call a boat "Neenaw". Then call up the coastguard - or indeed anyone inclined to use blue lights - for a radio check...

"Neenaw, neenaw, neenaw, this is Thames Coastguard..."

 

[phatcat1]

In early dinghy racing days I did come across two unusual names. "Juicy Cleats" and "Knot a clew"

 

[ex-Gladys]

My favourite was a boat in Chatham boatyard, a Tankard 23 named "Saga Lout" ...

 

[Dan Tribe]

Just passed a boat called
"don't worry everything is going to be amazing"
Coastguard.
"Can you spell your vessel's name please?"

 

[Ravi]

My last boat was called "Eris" which I thought was a lovely name. Then I found out that Eris is the Greek Goddess of conflict and disharmony!
(She was a wonderful boat, though, and never lived up to her name.)

 

[Biggles Wader]

Back when Watneys was a big name in beer I knew a local scarlet boat called Red Barrel.

 

[Tiny Dancer]

I liked the name so much I bought the boat!
