Those boat names

[flaming]

Sailed this boat for a week before I told SWMBO why it was funny.

Oversized mobo seen last week called Not For Sail. Ditto the excruciating Hardy called Kiss Me. (Painted right next to the makers nameplate, just in case you didn't get it without help) So droll, I must have chortled for hours.

What is the matter with people when it comes to naming boats? Some evidently think this sort of thing is clever or funny but to deface your pride and joy with some of the names given here seems crass to out it mildly. Ok, dinghys are fair game, but yachts and half million stink pots like the above...

I can see a lot of names sounding funny and clever on Saturday at 11pm in the pub, but why, oh, why don't people do another assessment on Tuesday at 11am?

Oh, maybe they did. If so, that's really scary...

Could also be that it's not a very good joke. The head of the charter operation was very amused though.

Probably helps to put an Australian inflection on it, its almost foreplay then

I couldn't possibly comment.

An Irish pal from Dublin wanted to call his boat "JACUNCHA" but his wife won't let him

ISoem dinghy names
White hull and deck moldings called "Armatage Shanks".
Another called "Two can chew",
Another a couple bought together "Splif" because it was a joint boat,

Looked at buying a yacht called "Moist Definitely",
