worst boat names

[PCUK]

I know I've said this before but I'm rebuilding an American Reinell and thinking of calling it "Hugh"!

Heard two boats calling the coastguard in the BC over the weekend - Ivor Bigun and Cleavage. SWMBO wanted to know what the preoccupation with body-parts was is that part of the world!

I agree mobo's usually have crass names

I wouldn't go as far as "usually", but it does seem that the tasteless names are more likely to be painted on a motorboat. There's a "Weekend Bird" moored near me.

A mate recently bought a small plastic speedboat (see my thread on the Mobo forum) which currently has no name. I don't know if he's planning to name it (he is planning to get a VHF and it'd be a bit awkward to have to use the callsign every time) but it seems like the kind of boat for which a comedy (but hopefully not crass) name is more suited.

Saw what must have been a building contractors boats - small tender called "Contract" huge MOBO called "Extras" !

Worst one to date "Far Tarse"

Bavaria called "passing wind"?

 

[Oscarpop]

There is a MOBO in Tide Mill in Woodbridge called " That's nice".

The irony is that it wasn't, nor was the name

When I bought my first boat (an Etap, I am from NZ, but live in France) I tried to register the name "Rainbow Warrior II".

The Douanes thought it very amusing but they wouldn't let me register the name...

 

[oceanpilgrim]

there is a harbour patrol boat in brightling sea that hands out speeding tickets called
"DRACULA"
nothing to do with blood sucking ****

Tis truly a Mobo thang

Seen on a recent visit to Porte Solente;
"Betty Swollocks"
Large non moving 'party' mobo apparently per nearby berth holders, unlike the RMYC mobo which was its berth mate

there's that Charter rod boat in Ramsgate;
'The Dogs..' and relevant logo of UJ'd Bulldog next to that.
There again, it was Ramsgate

We saw her leaving Port Solent this morning as we approached the lock. Large party on the flybridge. Got a wave from the helm as we passed, she obviously goes out from time to time.

It's the return to it's berth in a bit of breeze that provides the interest, apparently.
When the name kicks in perhaps?
Still, so long as they don't need to call the CG, whatever tickles the driver's sense of humour-we tend to do our boat name puns etc in Latin, so live and let smirk, I say

How come a "Guest" is allowed to post?

How come a "Guest" is allowed to post?

Because the rules were different back in 2001.
