Currency Lad VII. I really like the name Currency Lad, but the fact that the first six iterations of Currency Lad were already taken makes this boat much more meaningful.

[Peter McGrath]

Anyone who calls their boat aquaholic should have it confiscated on the spot.

[Joe Rouse]

I need a bottle of sake after reading that list!

[Adam Turinas]

They are bloody tragic. At the risk of being called a sailing snob, do we think that these might be ...er motor-boaters. Aquaholic? More like Aquamoron

[Joe Rouse]

Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's never nice to call anyone a motorboater... at least not until one has had his fill of sake.

My previous boat: Lady Bug Too (yes she was red, and yes there was a previous Ladybug)

[Wobesan]

Well... my first boat I felt like it was really a yacht...so I called it MyOtt, despite its modest size.

2nd boat, MyOtt2.

3d boat, Kairos
4th boat, thinking of calling her "Down Friday", since I mostly sail her on holiday (what we call down) Fridays... but not sure the "Down" is a good word.. ? What do you think of "Down Friday" (She's a Hobie 16)

My first boat, a 14-foot dinghy, was purchased at the same time that I purchased my first home. In order to buy the boat, I blew the funds I had budgeted for installing air-conditioning in the house. So, I named the boat "Central Air." I love the name so much that I carried it forward to my second boat, a Catalina 18!

You want some crook boat names.
How about......"Gross Misconduct" specially if you've got Sail No 69.
A suggested name for a new Etchell gel-coated black......."It's Pink Inside"

I have long had a penchant for stupid boat names. I currently have two Lasers named "Uncle Beastley" and "Mudguts". Previous boats include A Lasert named "Panic" (Name written upside down on the transom). Also a tin dinghy named "Jock's trap".

Our first boat we named Harbinger (promise of things to come) because when we bought it it was our intention to buy a larger boat and move aboard and go cruising. Our next boat - which we now live aboard - we named Kanau (Ka-NAH-ou)a name which we found in a marlinspike manual. The Japanese Success Knot looks like a square on one side and a plus on the other - in cuneiform (sp?) the plus and the square spell the word Kanau which means "a dream fulfilled" We've lived aboard for 10 years and cruised all over the Chesapeake; to Florida 4 times and to the Bahamas twice. Kanau, our 1977 Morgan Out Island 41, has served us well, while she has undergone extensive modifications and upgrades. A few pictures can be seen on one of our websites: www.HarbingerCruises.com.

My all time (?)favorite(?) power boat name is: Master Baiter. No one gets our boat's name, LaLeLu. It's a German lullaby and of course there's a story that goes along with it, but I won't bore you with that. It is nice having the distinction of being the only USCG documented boat named LaLeLu. Can't say it's not original. Cheers! Susan
