Those boat names

[Seashoreman]

As my work is in music I called last boat: Perfect Pitch. As I had a bad divorce someone changed it to: Perfect Bitch.
Latest boat is Sea Sharp and dinghy is of coarse: Sea Sharp Minor. Got to maintain a sense of humour.

How many have you had so far?

Do not know why that happens.
It is usually when i am using my Ipad. The last couple of times the marina wifi has died before I can delet the second post

I'm not sure if anyone else saw it at the SBS last week.There was a video on one stand scanning past a harbour - (sorry harbor) in the USA with a larger motor cruiser named "Fish & Chicks" which made me smile. I wish I had thought of that when I was young and could carry that off

From many years ago, I remember a Hurley Felicity called "Made of Ply".

There used to be a small cat at Shotley called "damp p**sy" cringe.

Heard on the VHF off the Lizard, "Cornish Pussy"..

We had a "What's it like" in Swansea, spoken with a Birmingham accent...

Seen visiting the Yealm some years ago:

"Drop 'Em or Swim Back".

Yuck (sailing boat)

 

[Interlude]

Small and well worn yacht on Sydney Harbour by the name of "Plan B".

Our last boat was called SNAFU - and I did not name her, nor did the previous owners.

One of my favourites was/is a boat called "Ruthless". The explanation, posted in the loos in Weymouth was along the lines of "his first wife was called Ruth.....".

Met a couple on 'Fanny Fisher' last year, when asked what bait they used I got a blank look - Australian boat so a little suprised

 

[NOHOH]

There is a young German couple currently sailing around the world on a boat called "Forty Two"....and yes...they DO know where it comes from

 

[bigwow]

Lifeboat in Conwy last week called "Her Majesty the Queen" I imagine when they contact the coastguard the reply is "go channel zero ma'am"

 

[Kilter]

our tender is called 'Out Of' :encouragement:

A yacht called 'COMPROMISE' . Nothing remarkable about that, except that the name was too long for the spray dodgers, so viewed from starboard it read 'OMPROMISE' and from port it read 'COMPROMIS'

 

[nicho]

Once saw a very fast powerboat called "FAR CANAL". A lawyer on the Thames had one called "LE GELAID", and a wealthy acquaintance has a lovely Squadron called "DROP IN THE OCEAN" - love that one (and the boat!)
The naffest I ever saw, was on a massive Italian Motor Yacht in Sydney Harbour called (in very big letters) "ENVY ME".....******!

My wife won't let me call our new boat "Am a Rang?". Perhaps she's right.
