Only for a RIB. As an instruction.

Probably not in Finish?

One should probably be careful as to how the name would sound if one had to send a Mayday or other emergency radio transmission.

Just our thoughts.

I recall seeing a boat named Jenny Tailya in Poole.

In Swedish we call navigation markers pricks. Red prick, green prick, cardinal prick. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I dont think it means anything in Finnish.

However, the HSS probably means Helsingfors Segelsällskap which is a "swedish speaking" club in Helsinki. One country two languages.

Maybe it is meaningful and harmless in Swedish? As Jenku points out above.

What's wrong with that?

Maybe it's all his ex wife left him with.

I've got a picture of the same boat. Taken in Sweden four years ago. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Going back a couple of years when we first got our boat, I remember hearing a conversation over the VHF between the coast guard and someone who had, rediculously, named their boat... HAYDAY... you can imagine what the coast guard was saying to him.....
