Classic owners - collective noun?

[Seagreen]

As its a sunday, how about a nice collective noun for old boat owners.

I was wool gathering along the lines of 'an optimism' or 'a delusion', but then again, I think "a muttering of old boat owners" suits best. Or does this suit mobo owners better?

There is, as most here must know, such great satisfaction when a project reaches the conculsion that we knowingly put ourselves through a whole series of difficulties to achieve it.
I think you put a part of yourself into a classic boat when you help save it, I've never had this feeling with a contempory boat.
I think that feeling comes even if you have only waved your cheque book at the boat or done the hard work yourself.

Perhaps a 'Classic' of owners would describe us best!

a Seepage

 

[lesweeks]

Now, do you mean Old boat owners, or owners of old boats?

 

[monkey_trousers]

a 'taking up' perhaps, maybe sub categories such as a 'skint-ling' of classic owners, for those whose holes in theirs pockets are bigger than those in their boats - think I'll soon be in that class

 

[Lakesailor]

Actually, there isn't any argument.

A "rub-down" is the collective noun.

I think 'a creak' seems somewhat appropriate...?

Nice one. It also occurred to me this arvo that the the term and description, "bereavement" of boat owners's wives. Of course they miss us so, whilst we are off varnishing.

What about a "Weepage" of classic boat onwers?

 

[Blueboatman]

A Collosus of Classic Owners ?.....,in recognition of the immense travail undertaken,perhaps ?

'The 90 percent club', cos no classic is ever, really 'there'

 

[Sixpence]

But then you still come back to the age old question, what is a classic boat ? Oh no please, let's not go there /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
My Debutante is a classic to me, though she may not be to others /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

How about a "Poverty" (Works for me!!). It's also easy to type on a qwerty keyboard!!

As I,m renovating my first wooden boat, am still in the whole series of difficulties stage and have yet to feel this mythical great satisfaction, I,d agree with asylum.
