Worst boat names

[Caladh]

Some years ago in Bembridge we saw "Clytie"....pronounce it how you wish !

Candida is the latin for "dazzling white" and was formerly a reasonably common girl's name. Its popularity does seem to have declined in recent decades, however.

Not according to the British Medical Journal.

Something can be prevalent without necessarily being popular ...

The old man thought names like Ffometeg and This way up would be amusing. Luckily he didn't go for them.

I once sailed a boat with "PTO" on the bottom. Nearly every race I raised a smile with that one

Puff the Tragic Wagon

 

[Goldie]

Variously over the years:

Shy Tot (Bavaria, late of Portsmouth Hr, last seen top of Southampton Water)

Shy Talk (Virgo Voyager, last seen Lymington)

Sh*t Hot (turquoise mobo, dayglo name last seen Poole and no, they didn't use the asterix)

Upchuck (Nauticat 42? seen Tarbert Loch Fyne)

From Nothing (large MoBo, regularly seen in the Solent. I admire his success, not his humility!)

Finally - and my least favourite - 'Just Beer Money' seen on a very large, ostentatious, bright yellow Trintella in Guernsey.

What's the worst boat name you have seen?

He imported it from the states not knowing the name.

He wasn't going to change it. I just pointed out to his wife that it's traditional to name your boat after your wife, and it changed the following week

'Fun to Fondle' Benetau in North Wales
'Mal de Mare'
'Costa Plenty'
'Rubha Duck' Westerly in North Wales
'Nophie' a friend of ours had a boat of this name and often slipped lines at 5am
'Wet dream' Funny and Cringeworthy in equal measures.
We have 'Love me' on our Tender
My favourite 'El Higgins'

 

[chanelyacht]

Two of my least favourites from my last patch - "Heydaze" and "Sampan".

Could have an electrifying effect on a quiet ops room at 2 in the morning...

Saw one in Largs this afternoon - 'Sorry kids'.

The name doesn't quite fit an HR.

If I recall back there was a brand new cadet at one nationals called "Spoiled brats". Think kids got given the boat but parents named it!

Although that should fall into the great names?

If I could have afforded to get my kids a boat, I could easily have called it that - and, knowing them, they'd have worn the name with pride

When a young chum got his Topper, older sister suggested 'Brat Out Of Hell'...

 

[Slowtack]

Sportsboat called Kuncha Bunts or something along those lines

Thought of thing you might expect on a sports-boat!

and your problem is..????..


Basplayer.......Seajet has a problem with lots of things

Fishermen and Mobos and conservationistas for a start,you are merely one more on a long and distinguished list .

 

[scottie]

Seen on the Clyde "TOLE!" the Glaswegian for a turd.

Also "Therapyst" locally known as "The Rapyst"

What is this about please ?

I don't have 'lots of problems with lots of things' but sudden wild accusations on a thread aout boat names ( where I've contributed only to mention names ) seems odd to say the least...

So what's the agenda here then ?

I have no problem with fishermen, mobo's or conservationists !

I do object to the fishermen who leave lobster pots in places like Portland inshore passage, and the one who damaged my boat while I was absent then scarpered, but that does not mean fishermen in general !

Likewise mobo's, I have had problems with idiots in speedboats, but I've also chatted happily with a speedboat owner of these forums.

Conservationists; I am all for the idea, being quite 'green' myself (like most yotties ) but I object to conservationists branding us all gin-swilling wreckers of the environment while concentrating on carving out a TV career and trying to turn our anchorages into their private paddling pools.

Edit; now I see the problem, having scrolled back a fair bit; Lady Fiona.

yes I did put that too strongly, apologies; I did not see your initial reply.

I was basing my assertion on people I know, rather unwisely...

 

[aldeburgh]

funniest name so far made me laugh

Excellent! Sounds like it could have come from All About Eve...

"...Titan Uranus, we're in for a bumpy ride!"
