Those boat names

[Bandit]

I knew a long distance cruise with a nice name whist full name called "Elsewhere" the tender was called "Nowhere".

I saw a not so nice Sealine called "Betty Swallocks"

I remember in Hong Kong there was a rather fast sloop called "Just a Quickie".

Small motor cruiser on 'All Ships' around Mallaig last week called 'HowMuch', I presume it is a Nimbus?

'Easy Oars'. Not sure how that one passed the VHF test either.

A few years ago, a friend in Scotland had a boat called "MacDonald's Folly". MacDonald was the name of his bank manager who'd lent him the money to buy it.

"Don't Panic" used to be on the Hamble and on one occasion had to put out a Mayday.

The Hamble to Warsash ferry boat is called "Kinnel"........I admire enormously the person who got that past the officialdom... presumably without them realising

Saw DILLIGAF on a big white mobo on the Thames.

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

There's a (what looks like) a homebuild on the Belgian coast called 'Krapulax'

 

[freespiritdavid]

A mate eventually bought a powerboat which after searching for a long time, he named.......... 'This'll Do' the tender was named 'This'll Do Two'
When he launched it a yard employee got the @ss with him saying,' Bloody typical all that money and calling it This'll Do' what more do you want? can't be satisfied with what you got.
I think the guy had a humour failure that day.

A Fairline Targa named "Don't Panic" was owned by a well known Television personality. Another owned "Zark", a Eurobanker 38.
