It is winter... and there seems to be a lot of desire for randome stuff on here.... There was a 2014 thread on Snarky Boat Names but it seemed silly to post to a nine year old thread so I'm starting a new one.

These are two puny names that I came up with. The first sums up why I like solo sailing and the second is a nerdy Thermodynamics pun
  • Miss Anthropic
  • The delta Gee
And here is one that I inherited that I really like... that has a double-entendre for a sailor...
  • Knot Working

WHATCA GOT!?:beer:

Heard of a psychiatrist whose boat was named "Freudian Sloop".
That one is good....

If we named our slips, we could just leave that one alone...

We almost named our Hunter "Gulf Cart".

I was touched when a very dear friend (and accomplished sailor) suggested "Holly" instead. He had remembered a single conversation from years earlier when I admitted my infatuation with the actress.

Ulimately we kept the name she had when we bought her.

Escape Artist (a racer :)

All in our Sunday racing series. There's more in the marina but I don't remember them offhand ...

We're still looking for a name for ours. I don't think my kids will let a dad joke in there, though.

Kelsey Grammer bought his dream sailboat after Cheers was a hit but to make sure his head didn't get too big he named it BIOYAK (blow it out your a** Kelsey).

I was always partial to "Stuck in Traffic", but I've never had a job I had to commute to work, so it wasn't right for me. Whoever uses it would never have to lie to their partner if they were sailing instead of going home.

The best I've seen was Sloop Dogg. I might have to steal that one someday

As for terrible names we have panty chaser and Bee J. Clearly neither of those owners are married
