How Many Of You Are Sailing Unnamed Sailboats?

[arknoah]

Not us. It took us awhile to choose a name, and it wasn't particularly important to me, but with two kids (though teenagers) the idea of not having a name for our boat just wasn't going to fly.

But I really don't think you have to name any vessel -- your boat, your choice.

 

[justsomeguy]

Mine has a name. I just don't advertise it.

 

[Ross]

Not like it is a secret! you have it painted on the boat so if anybody gives a **it they can just look

Well, no, I don't. Does that make her unnamed?

 

[Ross]

Yup! If you call for help and you tell them the boat is the Maltilda when they get to your location they will be looking for Matilda and you ain't her!

Maybe, but I'll be the one showing distress signals!

 

[Ross]

Then they ask you what happemed to Matilda.

 

[justsomeguy]

But they won't help me?

 

[Joe]

Then they ask you what happemed to Matilda.

Uh, probably not. They use the boat name for radio communications..... denying assistance because the boat name isn't visible would go against the law of the sea..... and bad business if you're in the towing business.

 

[Ross]

Uh-uh! they charge you with sinking the Matilda.

Arrr.
