Think it through

I once saw a boat named "No Rush". Sounds nice, right? Now think about your mayday call on the VHF.........."Mayday, Mayday, this is No Rush!!!!!" Tom s/v Orion's Child

Pump out boat

I thought that boat was "Phwee II". Don't forget her sister ship, "Captain Poop."

Big boat or samll?

As I am on a small sailboat, I thought "Size Doesn't Matter" would be fun. For over 45', they'll want to go with "Size Matters".

Best pump out boat name

Best pump out boat name I've heard was "Grey Poop On". Another of my favorites for boats in general was a very prestigious looking yacht that was named "Nobody You Know"

Break Wind

first boat was named 9by PO) Break Wind. The wife and I changed it to Adagio which was accurate as it only made slow and graceful passages with its 3 blace fixed prop. the tender was Segue.

mystery name explained

Last summer, we entered the week long regatta on the Lake, and were challenged to understand the name of the new boat-- AFTICA. The owner,after a week long of requests for explanation of the name, gave up the secret at the awards banquet. The well understood explanation brought a laugh that shook the crowd--Another Freekin Toy I Can't Afford

Seen in the Bahamas...

While sailing around Abaco, we anchored out in a small cove. Later that day, another boat came in and put her hook down nearby. We noted that the boat's name was "Sexasea." Their dinghy's name was, appropriately, "Sexashore."

There's a boat on Lk. St. Clair that's very close to Aftica - Afeica = Another F'in Expense I Can't Afford. There's another one that was rumored to have been bought soon after a divorce: Fujimo = F U Jane, I'm Moving Out.

Some other names

One dighy sailor at our club, known for capsizing once in awhile had the name painted on the bottom of his boat, the name was ONO and read the same from a port ot starboard capsize. Another was named Afterburner as it was the replacement for an original that burnd as rthe result of an errant firework launche by the local fire departtment on the Fourth of July. Then there was TABOOMA (Take a Bite Out of My A..) There was once a J30 around here called TIHSWA (read it from right to left)

My Albacore dinghy's name -
