Stripper or boat?

[PhillM]

One of my (female) friends invented a new game while motoring down the Hamble. Is that name best on a boat of best for a stripper. Seems many boats are named by men… so what’s the best boat name you’ve seen that really should be the name of a stripper?

I was sailing down Bosham Channel in about 1985 with my mother, when we encountered a moored yacht with the name on her cockpit dodgers, "GAY BUCK". I had rarely seen my mother so helpless with laughter.

Some friends of ours, I’ll embarrass them by naming the boat, Bella of London, have gone one better than a stripper. That is the name of a London escort agency. So I have been told?

My wife used to ride a little pony when she was a child called Gayboy. I'll leave that there as an illustration of changing times.

A yacht down Titchmarsh way was called Love in the Mist. Or Shag in the fog?

It seems to me an awful, sad truth that so many yachts cast light on their owners' weak humour or failure of foresight - so a joke that was barely funny decades earlier, is deemed adequate to brand a vessel for its lifetime.

I can laugh if a name evokes mischievous misinterpretation though. Can this one be real? It's too good...

Reported to be a tanker built in 1974 so very old. Cannot be found today on a free AIS vessel tracker.

Excellent! I wouldn't want to take a name already in use. ?

There was a customer who brought his young daughter to have a look at his yacht in build at the Contessa works in the 80s. A number of the shipwrights had taped up pictures from page 3 of the Sun at their work stations. The wee girl asked her Dad who all the paper ladies were.

He named his boat Paper Lady.

In a snippet repeated this Christmas, Norman Stanley Fletcher explained (but not to a wee girl) exactly which relatives his pin-ups purported to be...

A very popular name in the ‘70s, along with Novat.

There was a red yacht moored at Hardway for many years called " Red Hot Granny "

I have seen it on the hard in Weymouth recently.

First Mate and I heard on the VHF in the Solent about 15 years ago " Big Boy, Big Boy, this is Lolita! "

There was an angling boat down in Devon years ago called "She Likes It Rough".
