Worst boatname

[DJE]

We would only have been racing against each other in the mixed sportsboat classes. I was on a Bull 7000 called Rampage in the mid '90s.

Sailing back from Cherbourg with julianmingham we heard a boat calling Portland coast guard, at first we didn't think we heard it right, then Portland replied














"Wet Dream........ Wet dream....... this is Portland coastguard etc.

While sailing in the Solent many years ago we were set a-rocking by a huge and swanky mobo with a certain Billy Cotton Snr on the fly bridge. It was called Wakey Wakey!

My son had a racing dinghy with those self bailing flaps in the transom, called
Damp Flaps.
Apparently had some sexual connotation?
Another boat in the fleet was Fuzzy Duck.

 

[BillyBloater]

My son's Mirror dinghy is called 'Stinky Wind'.

Saw a rather ugly, proably homebuilt, catamaran some years ago called 'Cooking Fat'

"Stella ~ reassuringly expensive" struck us as pretty Naff - was on quite a nice looking Mobo as well - there again I found "dont panic" written upside down quite amusing (1st time around)

Small stinky in Port Solent called "Boozin & Cruisin"...must be the worst name ever!!

We have had the misfortune of having 3 very naff names on charter boats....

Premier Crew
Frayed Knot
Euro Babe

The ever classic

Wayne Kerr

 

[Saddletramp]

regularly heard on the VHF in Chichester -

'Running Water calling Desert Wind'

cracks us up every time

 

[Sailfree]

Moored next to us in East Cowes last Saturday

"Do4me"

Go on - see if you can guess the make of this French AWB!!

 

[whipper_snapper]

Is there still an angling boat out of Beaumaris called "Sea Witch" ? Seems a very sensible name - but over the VHF and especially with a N Wales accent it sounds exactly like 'sewage'. Which is remarkably apt for the E coast of Anglesey.

I had one that got named 'pingu the haddock slayer' after a temporary window seal up using penguin shower curtains and promptly having too much beer afterwards, the next boat I had got called 'haddocks revenge'
Don't talk to me about silly boat names... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

My heart went out to a charterer who needed to call dover coastguard "this is the mutihull Puss Puss over", - they made him repeat the name several times before he said its not my fault I am only chartering the &^%$ thing!

And of course there's "Leg"

This is Leg - over.

My mate at school (a long time ago) called his PBK20 double canoe "Mafeking". I asked several times before it clicked, he always told me "Because it is . . . . .Mafeking canoe"

ie, his rather than anyone elses . . .
