More Boat Names

[Freedom77]

Thanks for all your suggestions. I think we'll go with my wife's idea (always best to go with She Who Must Be Obeyed...) of Little Guilty.

It's a wise man who practices discretion. Fair Winds and Full Sails...

Frineds of mine were buying there first boat and every time the dealer mentioned an option, Like a mast, they'd say "Might as Well" so that what's they named her. Fair Winds and Full Sails...

 

[UPSGUY]

My favorite boat name was FUJIMO. The last part was Jane I'm moving out.

One of the prime considerations to a name is what others will do to it at the bar. Vigor becomes Vulgar, my own Trav'ler has become Straggler. Morning Star became Morning Sickness. You need to bar proof your name. I knew one guy who had a Saber 35 in mint condition and called the boat Assuager as in assuaging (relieving) one's problems. Nice name for a beautiful yacht, yet that name got transformed to Ass Auger.

 

[Ken Cross]

Ours is "Shakedown" we didn't name her, but .............

 

[RAC]

my brother suggested this for our newly acquired H27.... Knot a Clew!

 

[Fly_H23]

My favorite boat name was FUJIMO. The last part was Jane I'm moving out.

That's very original, my "ex" wife never appreciated my passion for sailing either.

Saw a sailboat called "Bow Movement" in Ontario

 

[SamLust]

Due to my lack of affection for it my Walker Bay 8 has been named "Dingleberry". Always seems appropriate when it is hanging off the stern on a string.

 

[Big Windy]

An optomitrist on my dock has "20/20."

 

[Mormandeus]

I call my C22 Passing Wind. A friends Independent 20 is Blew Bayou. Another calls his Cygnus 20 La Guichon (not sure if the spelling is right...it is not on the boat) which is The Old Whore in French. His father named it (he said because it was always full of seaman).

A friend of mine had a 30 footer and he was getting to old to handle it. His boats name was 'PASSING WIND'

He downsized to an 18 footer- New name 'LITTLE FART'
