This audience is brutal. The following are before and after shots.
Just in case anyone was wondering, giving the boat my wife's nickname didn't result in my wife liking the boat any better.

I knew someone who wanted a short cathy name for his new boat, he asked me " what's that short name they use for whales, that would be good ? "
' What, ' Sperm ' ? apparently wasn't the one he meant.

Is this related to the ' Carter Concubine ' design ?
There used to be a maker of Fireball racing dinghies called ' Virgin ' - long before Richard Branson expanded from music publishing.
There was a Fireball in Chichester called ' She's A Virgin ' with an attractive female crew, as time went on we wondered if the boat needed a renaming...

I had a French boat called MICK and I was selling it.
On the day when a buyer was to do a viewing I decided to change the name by adding an "I" at the end making it MICKI
We went out for a trial sail and the engine started to run badly and not reach full revs.
Back in Port the buyer made me a low offer (due to the engine) which I accepted.
Pulling the boat out of the water the following day I found that the propellor had picked up a fishing net.
The boat was OK when I changed the Name, when I went through the sea lock later the fishing net was waiting for me.

I would have thought something like 'Ground Hogging Day' would have been more apt.
