Choosing boat name, where to start

[jfm]

Avoid any sexual innuendo -check it out in local language too

Yup. Magnum's black predator 72 featured much on here a few years ago has been re-sprayed and renamed "Pipe Dream". Sniggers all round in French marinas

Lasted boat is named after an Italian fiery racey woman which is decall-ed nicely on -- Fiammetta -so I think we are safe here and keeping it as it suits the boat
Err unless someone MapishM tells me different!

No worries, 'salright. :encouragement:

We just kept the name that the previous owner had chosen.

We did like it though and it is fairly fitting

For me I wanted a name to suit my Corvette 32, and looked into the history of Naval Corvettes, and wanted to find something suitable from a real Corvette.

The majority in WW2 were either Flower Class (~ 250 of them, Daffodils, Roses etc) or Castle Class, which didn't really suit, then I found a 19th Century Bacchante class Corvette. This was also the Sigma 36 saily boat I previously sailed a fair distance for a sea school of former TV's 'In at the deep end' fame in a previous life as a raggie, and one whom SWMBO would not allow me to name our girls after.

Had to be ...



Formal naming this Saturday evening with suitable offerings to King Neptune expected.

Very nice Trevor. I hope you are practicing the spelling for the VHF?

Certainly not 'Boudicca' (politically correct nonsense).
