Thought on a boats name , please

[Capt Popeye]

Marine Traffic knows not of Harlot, so it would be AIS original.
"HARLOT calling coast guard " has a certain ring to it.
"Coast guard calling HARLOT", maybe not so much.

Could be a tender's name, if the mother ship is called Madame.
Hotel Alpha Romeo Lima Oscar Tango.
Hmmmm.

Wow its got a sort of a catchy noticeable ring to it - maybe even noticeable by them on a long duty watch - sort of grab their attention somewhat ? bet they would be eager to respond , just hoping ?

PS: Harlot is not on the ITU ships radio station list either. You could become the world's first owner of a radio Harlot.

You are sure get some cheeky replies late at night.

Don't be surprised if you get strange looks from Paddys as well - shift was a frequently used slang for make-out or shag although it may no longer be commonly used.

I've only been to Ireland once. I didn't notice any children sniggering behind the hedges but that may have been an oversight on my part. It is a homophone with 'shifter' and most HMs get it wrong, something that we expected to happen. Cruising East Africa was never in our plans or we'd have been in serious trouble.

I'm sure there must be a boat called 'Hello Sailor'.

Anyways gona have some sleep before deciding the Launch name , and Harlot does appeal to me , mind you I bet not many persons will know its original meaning , so as suggest above , I might have some explaining to do ? {#

A good way to meet people and have a drink. Your original explanation describes boating very well.

I would call the tender madame.

Edit.
My tender was called LaLa by my very young nephew as it was yellow like one of the teletubies characters. Luckily it is dinghy shape ......

Well gone and done it now , the Boats name on its Insurance is 'Harlot' plus its gona be Harlot with the Harbour authority

Just had a lady family friend state that She will not be going on it , I recon its an Age Related thing really , them older will recall the Name /Term whereas them young uns will not recall it at all ; so guess I will have to make more friends who are younger than me ?

Filling in the Boat Insurance I answered the question , how many years experience have you had with this type of boat ? my answer was 60 years ; bet thats not in their Box Ticking process , erh ?

Funny Fred Drift ere ; when renewing my BT subscription a few years ago they asked , and how many years have you had a BT Landline , cause we offer discounts for length of service , well I answered 55 years , crikey she said , never had anyone claim that before , you are the first able to claim that many years discount , so premium is about £3 pa = phew

 

[Mister E]

The tender could be Harlots Maid.

Well done. You have a boat named Harlot of which you are Master so I guess I can call you Whore Master

 

[DownWest]

Better not rent your boat out, or you might get done for living off immoral earnings

 

[bignick]

There used to be a Bashford 41 on the Hamble called “Easy Oars”….

I hope your choice of name doesn't cause you harlot of trouble.

[Poignard]

The author Ernest K. Gann had a boat built which he called 'Strumpet'.

 

[Frogmogman]

Does Harlot have one screw, or two ?

 

[RAI]

Do Harlots have pimps or only Johns?

 

[johnalison]

I enjoyed the TV programmes.

 

[HissyFit]

If my next dinghy remains inflated, I'll call it 'Ego.'

Bilge pimps ?
