Up the pontoon from me.

Magewind of Roke

Not funny in itself, as far as I can see, but a good way of practising your phonetic alphabet, as I guess you can't use the name on the VHF or phone without absolutely everyone asking you to spell it - twice - and then, when you go to pay for your mooring, asking what it means and how the boat got its name.

After a week of that, it would make me long for a Peggy Sue or Silver Sunset or Graceful Gull or, of course, a Penguin . . .

In our marina is "Betty Sweaver" and "Betty Swollocks"! (Haven't a clue what they mean!!!! ;o)

'Soggy Pants' was my most memorable.

I do not want to appear as a prude, however I do find some of these boat names some what crass.

"Mary Hinge","Betty Sweaver" and "Betty Swollocks" for example.

Where as I can quite happily see the humour with:
'Voluptuous'
of
Brest

Which shows some thought and avoids tackiness

Just my opinion.

What's funny about Poggy Sants?

 

[Seadee]

Exactly - one day I'm going to find the previous owner of my MF805 and ask him why on earth he named her "La Maitresse de la Mer of Rochester" The first time Thames coastguard asked me to spell it I was stumped for a couple of seconds. Now I've got it written at the helm !! Makes for some great pseudonyms though - the guys at Mutford Lock used to call me "The Mattress" - sweet !!

Saw a good one in SoF last year: 'Up Chuck' - looked like a VERY fast boat, too, so made sense /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[buster3]

[B175Chris]

Yeah, but what's your fanny called? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Chris, If you were a member of a dogging forum would you have a picture of a boat as your avatar?

I'm guessing no. Not everyone is into boats if you know what I mean.
