What do you call your other boat?

[penultimate]

I didn't name Penultimate but got tired of the inevitable question, so the tender had to become The Ultimate.

Currently within the club we have Romeo, tender to Juliet. We used to have Treacle, tender to Brimstone; and Favour, tender to Grace.

Main boat is "Wizard" - tender is "Hedwig".

Recently bought a boat called 'Todka'. The tender is usually referred to as 'Vonic'.

 

[tcm]

You just made that up! Quite good though...

 

[gandy]

The small rescue boat used at the club, for junior teaching, was called "Spare Rib".

Our tender doesn't have a name, but the outboard has been called all sorts of names.

 

[longjohnsadler]

No really. That's Mrs Ljs's little joke.
Strange as she usually gets pist on Cacardi and Boke...

 

[PeteCooper]

There's a traditional motor yacht in Kip called Cerveza and the tender is called half pint.

My 11 foot With is called Faith. I`ve had her a long time, been down walney channel and around the island more times than any other boat I've ever owned and she's always brought me home, no matter what stupidity I got up too.

Terry Absalom, who sadly passed away this year, used to have a beautiful (32ft?) Buchanan called Curtsy, with a tender called Bob. “Why Bob?” asked I. “What’s a little Curtsy?” he replied.

We bought a second hand Tinker Tramp called “Little Knot” which had been tender to a Bowman 40 called “Second String”. We liked the name so much we loosely followed the theme through our other tenders, calling the rigid one “Short Strop”, and the Avon “Time Warp".

I know someone on the Deben with "Clannad" and tender "Enya".

On Nancy Blackett the Avon is called "L'Imp" - very witty. (When she was "The Goblin" in Ransome's "We didn't Mean to Go to Sea", Jim Brading's tender was "The Imp".) To date I'm pleased to say the Avon has had no problem maintaining pressure.

Little Knot

My previous yacht was called Gaia and the tender was called Rhea - classics scholars only please.

Try translating "Peter Pan" and "Wendy" into Finnish, and choose whichever sounds best.

[moodycruiser]

"Can't budget II"

 

[ChrisE]

We once saw a very pretty boat, painted in pastel yellows and greens, named 'Mary', the tender was called 'Little Lamb'

 

[Evadne]

I was going to call my tender "help", and paint the name on her underside.

 

[Sans Bateau]

We bought our inflatable dinghy (all white) when we owned our previous boat "Out To PLay", so the dinghy was called Ping Pong.

 

[burgundyben]

I had a tender that was very small called Incapacious, the replacement was much bigger, I named that Capacious.
