What's your favorite boat name?

[capta]

I had a friend who named his boat "Stuck in Traffic" so he'd never have to lie to his wife when she asked where he was.
We met a couple of teachers in Grenada this fall who had named their boat "Field Trip", which I think is just about the best name for a cruising boat I've ever seen.

One of our club members has a Starwind 19. His wife's name is Gail. His boat is GailWind. Gotta love it.

 

[Captn Scotty]

We named our boat "Saorsa"gaelic for freedom, but one of my favorite names I ever saw, was on a little shrimp dragger named "Love & Anarchy!

 

[DougFir]

How about "Over Budget"? Was on the boat when I bought it......and it really is.

My home built dinghy.

 

[Jackdaw]

The sailboats name is "Switch'n to Glide" with a soaring seagull silhouette in the shape of a sail. Named it this because we own a power boat too...

Oh too bad... you would have scored massive bonus points of you were a old-school KINGS fan.... This beat goes on.....

My home built dinghy.

Is that the tender to "Naughtius Maximus"?

 

[Sanman]

We have dogs, and always try to give our boats a celestial name, so our Boat is "Canis Major II" the Dinghy is "Canis Minor"

I think it's related to "Incontinentia Buttocks"?

I just love the old Monty Python...

Great name for a dinghy!

Just wondering?

Do you still have your pirate flag or has some Marine stolen it again?

Velocity. Speed and direction....

I'm half Japanese, half Italian. Went with 'Bella Kaze'. Beautiful wind.

HA! We have it, but Not flying it, since we found a more theft resistant canine version! Hopefully you can see it yourself in June!

 

[Dunlookin]

You Cannot Sail Without...

...appreciating the magic of harnessing the wind. While we understand the science behind sailing, our traditions demand we acknowledge the influence the Gods, the Spirits, fate...and kismit have on us as we move forward with the unseen breath of nature filling our sails.

I looked for a boat for over a year. I had a name ready. Then I saw Dunlook'n. She still carries the name...and those I love most along with her.

Like Happy Potter...the sailor does not find the boat...the boat finds him.

The name...well, life has already whispered it to you.

Listen.

Never Again II

Years ago, there was a sailboat at the Seattle Yacht Club named "Sea Lingus". Somewhat clever, but perhaps in questionable taste...:neutral:

 

[StinkBug]

Not as questionable as "full of seamen"

Was the owner Irish? There is an Irish airline in Europe called "Aer Lingus." Maybe he was a pilot who liked to sail?

 

[gettinthere]

Wifes name was Connie

 

[shemandr]

Not going there.
A great name if your wife is named Connie and you had the right boat would be "Chris Craft Connie." Wives names as boat names are exempt from criticism. But why the Mrs. would like a namesake that is slow, beamy and displaces a lot is a mystery to me.
