Horrible boat name !

[Momac]

... a boat called Tidos.

Reminded me of Lamados which is moored near me .

But I prefer another in the marina called Afeica.

I think our friends acr the Atlantic have a unique way of choosing names...View attachment 100636

There was one on the East Coast with the same name a few years ago, often heard on the VHF.?

A chap on the Thames bought a boat called “Bubsy” - couldn’t live with it so renamed it “Trumpton”.

On a large-ish motor yacht;

"Who's The Loser Now, Dad?"

 

[AntarcticPilot]

Once new someone who had a boat called Tidos.

There's a country in Terry Pratchett's Discworld called Llamedos. It's sort of misty and bardic, with mines.

I can only read certain boat names certain ways... ‘Crap Dime’ started the rot.

Im sure it’s a form of dyslexia.

 

[Baggywrinkle]

This guy combined name and home port for comic effect ... I saw it in Marina Punat in Croatia.

Llamedos is horrible. Just spell it backwards.

Noticed an X-334 a couple of berths down from me in Kilrush, called "Jimmy Bum". Horrible name for a boat, apparently it's the nickname of the owner's deceased father. Strange

I remember seeing a very smart narrow boat called 'Kids Inheritance'

Possibly the worst/best I have seen with my own eyes

 

[Momac]

I just remembered the worst of all
''So Long Suckers'' which was a large Sunseeker. Everyone thought the name to be quite offensive .
It has moved away , thankfully.

Would "Sha Ton" be marginally better or worse?

I think marginally worse but not quite sure why...

But landlocked. You have to look elsewhere - physically if not linguistically - for a sloeblack, slow, black, crowblack, fishingboat-bobbing sea.

Twinned with Llareggub ?

Chewin The fat had the best boat names, the two trawlers called Kipper Minge and Pearl Necklace.

There was a big Hanse that called into Ipswich Haven a lot called “Posh Totty”, and the lock keeper used to take the rise something rotten. My favourites were Cirrhosis of the River( already mentioned) and” Kinda Lingers”......,..

There was a small fishing boat in West Bay harbour called "Steaming Floater".

I sailed on a general cargo ship called Beaver Bank. It used to cause great hilarity when we visited the States.

A very nice motor boat at my yacht club is called AFTICA. Which stands for Another F******* Thing I Can’t Afford which I thought was rather clever.
