Most popular boat names?

[Bejasus]

Seriously thinking of naming our next boat after the kids.

BE = Ben
JA = Jade
SU = Summer
S = Sasha

There are a few called 'No Problem'
could be confusing with a Mayday call

Picking up on a couple of themes here:

"Swallow" is very popular indeed, for obvious reasons. Windsong is also popular - so much so that Classic Boat showed a picture of the wrong one in it's Top 200 Classics recently.

Three good ones for the VHF are:

"Morning All" - Orwell - an S&S34, (a sibling of "Morning Cloud")
"Wakey Wakey" - Deben
"Its only me" - Crouch

My personal favourite, on a Drascombe Lugger, is:

"Bucky Lugger"

Signed, the owner of the oddly named: "Francis Fletcher"

White mischief,

Good one on the Thames around kingston way called "Cirrhosis of the river "

Then again, "Unsinkable 2" has a certain attraction....

There used to be a Halmatic DS110 on the River Dart called Titanic II a few years ago.

That's what I call tempting fate! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Also seen "Kin-ell" writ large on the side of a Phantom 25 with a pair of Merc 200hp outboards!

Oh, and there used to be a racing dinghy called "Hoof Hearted", which was always worth a laugh when the yacht club commodores wife was reading out the end of season race results! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

A name I always fancied on an Azimut round our way......

....'La Dolce Vita'

and considering the guy who owns it just sold his business for x £sqwillions of pounds quite appropriate really..... lucky b'ard.

I've seen a boat on the Broads called "No Mooring". Apparently he's got loads of moorings reserved for him /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Overdraft.

Not sure if it had too much gear on board or its effect on owner's bank balance.

 

[Dave_Snelson]

Yes - that gets my vote /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[BarryH]

Many moons ago my Mirror dinghy was called "Passing Wind". Quite apt really as I was a little fart!

 

[Deleted User YDKXO]

Dunno about most popular names but the boat name I always liked is 'Weather or Knot' which I think belongs to a Cygnus owned by occasional MBM contributor John Cragg

 

[1peejay2]

On a Trailer sports boat in Maidstone is 'le Gover'. Probably just boasting but ...

Many many years ago there was a boat on my marina called "Financial Distress".

Rather ironically I believe it got repossessed.... /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

I liked the name on a boat at Hamble Point "boule de chien"

 

[Salty John]

The professor of languages at a noted Maryland, USA, university called his boat:
The Cunninglinguist
