Scaramouch not withstanding (this is NOT a political thread) it is often funny to hear what a person would name or has named their boat.

A few of us were sitting around the harbor a couple of weeks ago and noticed that the majority of the fishing boats were named after women. Our assumption was that this was the man's attempt at placating his wife for the bucks and time he spends on his boat (the man who was captian of the Lovely Susan agreed that this was his reasoning after a few beers).

So we started discussing, what would you name your boat? And why?

We are naming our eventual boat (a 57ft Nordhaven so we can cruise the oceans) Pinot Envy.

We figure that this identifies us as good wine drinkers with a sense of humor So what's your boat name?

Lotto Bell would be my Yacht's name... because for me to waste money on a Yacht in Cincinnati I'd have had to hit the Lotto!

I just looked up a name...
Just My Capsize

Serenity.

Or Knightboat.

sorry found another
Knot a Yaught

Very good question. Athough I don't have a yacht persay, I have often thought about what I would name my boat if I did have one. The name I came up with is, "The Prometheus" I always loved Roman mythology as a child and the story of Prometheus was my fav. On a side note, once I did go looking at yachts, but when I asked about layaway they told me to leave.

"Little Devil" because I can only afford a motorboat...

Now, if it were truly a yacht: "Miss Behaven"

"SERENITY NOW"

LOL Buddy, thanks for the warning, we'll avoid asking about the lay away plan when we go shopping.

We found a place you can rent the boat we want for a week or two. So next summer we plan on taking a little cruise somewhere in one. The J man has convinced me that there's room for a sewing room on the darned thing, and that we can easily pay for fuel with my quilt sales. (He's nuts but I like to humor him)

What's a yacht? Can you drive over rocks and dirt with it? What's this sailing stuff? I'm confused!

PARAGON

My son has a beautiful mahogany RC replica of a 40s Cris Craft that is named "Miss Adventure". I kind of like the double meaning . . .

I'd name it either "Cookie Tosser" or "Cpt. Stubing's Dinghy" I don't have any sea legs . . .

"Anywhere but Florida"

Dawnie, if you rent a boat and go cruising, I will just slap you for being in a sewing room!

Never fear Maria, If we have one for two weeks the sewing machine won't come along. BUT if we live on one, that's a different story. A sea voyage across oceans takes days. I have to have something do to or I'll end up murdering the captain...wait I might be the captain...we haven't discussed that part yet

LOL at Don and Knot a Yaught..... I always said if I hit the big lottery I was going to get a boat, and a big one at that. Right now I would call it the Water Bug, but that is subject to change if I can think of a good pun.

Can't decide between "Minnow" and "Pequod."

We have two fishing boats; an aluminum 17 foot Lund in Wisconsin and a 20 foot fiberglass Aquasport in Florida. The Lund is called Warp Drive, cause it was so much faster than the row boat we had before it. The Aquasport is called the Knot Nort, since we are not nort, we're sout!

Sky Pie

And are you SURE that boat is still in Florida, and not, say drifting around the Atlantic??

The boat and house is safe, we call our neighbors to check on them regularly, and they, in turn, keep an eye on our property. In fact, Englewood has been missed by all the hurricanes so far! Praise the Lord!

I've never thought about naming a boat...how about "Miss Independent"? (I don't like the song that much but for a single woman's yacht it might work.)

Or I could possibly live with "The Seahorse".

I've always wanted a sailboat named "Renegade".
