Best boat name contest!

[John Nantz]

My vote is KaChing!

Read Michael O's boat name "KaChing!" and couldn't stop laughing! If one properly maintains ones boat and adds the items it should have KaChing is very appropriate.Debated whether to tell my wife about it cuz I know her opinion.

Best boat name contest.

Our boat had a horrible name, so we had to do something about it.Well, we gave her the name of the village in Holland where we had our first HOT weekend after me and my wife met.Which was Zonnemaire, in the provence of Zeeland.A beutifull little village,where we had a cottage rented and almost next door there was a little pub which had the biggest collection of Jazz-music I've ever seen.A great and Sticky weekend that was, AND we're still merried.So we called "Zonnemaire"

AftICU

AFTICA gives me the idea for a name:AftICU (in the spirit of Mark Smith's BLEWBYU)

 

[Tom Monroe]

Sails Call

For at least a few more years, I'm a training consultant and account exec. There's a boat in my marina named "Sails Call." I think I should buy her so I can tell my director that I'll be spending the afternoon on a _______________ .Tom MonroeCarlyle Lake

Contest Open?

Not sure if this contest is open still. I was away on vacation for a week on my Hunter. Anyway the name of our boat is Gemini Star. My husband couldn't afford diamond earrings for me when we got married and I always wanted them. He told me the two stars in the sky (Gemini stars) were my diamonds. The Christmas he gave me the earrings I gave him sailing lessons and we were both surprised and overjoyed! So if the contest is still running I'd like to add "Gemini Star".

Boat Name Game

The new leasing "safeharbor" tax laws of the mid '80's were a time when the leasing business was in good shape and we made some real money. I was into sailing and used my bonus $ to buy my 28.5Hunter "SAFEHARBOR" ....cause that's where I go to forget about work for a while. ;>

College Student

Having gone off to school, I missed sailing around with my dad, so this summer with somehelp from the family, I bought a 17' O'day... realizing I'm gona be focused on the boat and not my classes, I decided to name her "My GPA" ... (enter your own tagline here)

ExFed

I saw a boat in Palmetto, FL owned by a retired F.B.I agent. The name was ExFed written in the style letters of FedEX the overnight delivery service. Always thought that was clever.

 

[Dave Lemieux]

Tender name" Justice"

Our Catalina 27 is named Liberty. After I built a new dinghy for her, we struggled with a name, until I could no longer ignore the phrase that kept running though my head, "liberty and justice for all".

 

[Jerry Stroupe]

BLEW-by-U

Mark,I thought you were going to name your boat " Blow Away"? When did you chose Blew-by-U?Thats right there is another boat named Blown Away in you port.You are right "Blew BY-U it is a good play on words. Feel free to e-mail me back.Jerry

CalamityAnnie

We bought a used Hunter 30 (1979) about a year ago and are going through a total renovation, including new engine, paint, etc.The previous name was "Magic Moments" which we found rather unappealing.Naturally, I wanted to name the boat for my wife, Karen. Her nickname is Calamity Annie, named after a couple of famous cowgirls of the old west, and their ability to shoot straight.Well, here's the question. Is "Calamity Annie" a good name, or is this tempting fate? Naturally, we plan to go through a name change ceremony as tradition and the law of the sea would dictate whe we splash the boat in a couple of months.What do you think?Jim

 

[Michael O']

Can't Credit Me With KaChing!

I was just voting! Saw the name, and like John I couldn't quit laughing! My favorite name, never used because so few people know what it punned, was "Auntie DeLuvian"Michael O'
