The names people give their boats!

[Solitaire]

There I was, gently cruising down the river Itchen today doing a Powerboat Level 2 course and I had to take another look! No, I thought, surely not! I had to have a closer look. But yes, it was! Gawd lummey I thought. Where's the camera! Scroll down the page.

Ha! Brilliant! I wonder if I can have 'Cuynt Too'??!

A friend of mine called his boat "shy talk" try calling that up on the vhf without laughing

 

[MoodySabre]

 

[bush boat]

 

[colhel]

Ha! Brilliant! I wonder if I can have 'Cuynt Too'??!

If a man wrote that it I wouldn't need to read it twice. Not sure what smiley to use..... okay this one :encouragement:

 

[lisilou]

Hmmm sounded so much better in my head. Ok...'Cuynt ll'

Sigh. In these international days of marine nomenclature, it makes sense.

Thers one in Milford marina 'Lady Tess T Clays'

 

[CX54WEK]

There is a "Rescue Me" round our parts.

That always raises a smile on the VHF

There use to be a race boat in Burnham on Crouch called "The Dogs *******s" always listed on the race results as TDB

I used to see a boat in Poole quite regularly - a Phantom-type thing - and its name was "Don't Panic", written upside down.

 

[Aardee]

I used to sail with a guy who's dinghy was called "R Supwards" - The worst Mobo name I've seen is "Boozin' & Cruizin'"

 

[Richard Shead]

I always preferred the tender names....Nipple 1 and Nipple 2...

We were often passed by a large, fast catamaran in the Florida Keys that had its name 'Blue Bayou' painted across the rear cross member.

It certainly did.

And one at Swansea called ' Itchy Pussy'

 

[Fantasie 19]

...and the one in Port Solent called 'Betty Swallocks'
