Newboy Posted April 21, 2005 Report Posted April 21, 2005 Stupid: Mayday Mayday Mayday Rude: FarrQ and FarrQ 2 Quote
Coddy Posted April 21, 2005 Report Posted April 21, 2005 Funny you should say May Day as there was a boat in Portsmouth with a very similar name but the Coastguards told them they must change it! Coddy Quote
Afishionado Posted April 21, 2005 Report Posted April 21, 2005 There was a catermaran called Cooking Fat Mad Mike Quote
Seamouse Posted April 22, 2005 Report Posted April 22, 2005 Sue wanted Lookfar to be "Bucking Foat" Quote
Adam F Posted April 22, 2005 Report Posted April 22, 2005 No offence to the guys who own these boats - but after you have called them 3 three times on the radio, you begin to wonder if they are a 'bit' stupid! Loyal Royal - calling Mark on the VHF is like playing red lorry, yellow lorry! Splash-Out - Bob has the tongue twister when signing off the VHF - Splash Out - Out... Anyway, who am I to jest - the guy whose boat name states the bl^&dy obvious!! One of my favourites is the name ' this way up' written upside down on the hull! Quote
Jack the Lad Posted April 22, 2005 Report Posted April 22, 2005 My mate had a yacht called " Passing Wind " Always thought the name " Sea Lance " should create a bit of hush on the VHF Saw a boat in Bristol channel called " Llamedos " , sounds like a greek island till you work out to read it backwards/mirror. Great name !!! Quote
Afishionado Posted April 22, 2005 Report Posted April 22, 2005 I am now reminded of 'Airplane' the movie......... Captain Over, Roger Roger the co pilot etc Which moves you on to calling ones boat 'Past' as in 'Past' over? or even paired boats as in 'Hunky' and 'Dory' However on a slightly more serious note, I HATE it when people call a boat a silly rude name. Boats are such graceful and lovely things and to spoil such beauty by calling it summat obscene no matter how cleaverly is at the 'minger' end of chav. Mad Mike Quote
Paul D Posted April 22, 2005 Report Posted April 22, 2005 Jack, Interesting the Llamedos name. I work on postal stuff at the moment and there are people who have houses called by that name and indeed some houses are called Llamekcuf ..... I just love the thought of some old ladies walking past remarking on what a lovely name that quaint house has We chose NEO for the boat because I am mean and it saves money on the lettering Quote
great white Posted April 22, 2005 Report Posted April 22, 2005 I wanted to call my boat "Shy Torque" when I built her but the boss would not let that happen. Peter had simular with "Shy Talk" We had one at the Club called "Bone Idol" and another owned by the proprietor of several shoe shops which is called "Cobblers" There was one at Lake Yard called P.O.E.T S p*** off early tomorrows Saturday Charlie Quote
Newboy Posted April 22, 2005 Author Report Posted April 22, 2005 Can't really name mine anything other than my missus....... Quote
Paul D Posted April 22, 2005 Report Posted April 22, 2005 Feeling really daft now as I always wondered why Pete JNR had called his boat Shytalk - I used to keep thinking that he doesn't seem particularily shy !! Quote
jack Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 I once had a boat called Zippedydooda. fortunately it was eons ago and I did'nt have a radio. Quote
Gnasher Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 Well my boat previously known as PEACHY (gay or what) now has an even worse name. We were toying with Thunder Child but now she has finally been christened 'ORFOLK 'IGGY ....... now thats proper sad Quote
