Boat name popularity

[Josher]

Might bump into this in the Ship Canal?

 

[Athy]

Our last n/b had a unique name, 'Batto' - one for francophile boaters only!

[carlt]

So is mine.

Is it named after Antoine de Saint-Exupery's asteroid, in "The Little Prince"?

[Tim]

Mine too is unique!

[deletedaccount]

I'm fairly sure mine's unique

mmm.. a wide beam!

 

 

Rabiang Dao Garden & Resort

[Athy]

Looks like a CC-er. How long's it been moored there?

Looks like it's over-draught on the L&L - - it'll be there for the rest of the summer I reckon

[Josher]

I think pets are allowed (in pairs)!

[deletedaccount]

want!

 

That's mental. They're all like that!

 

[MartinClark]

Doesn't worry the grp people ...

 

The owner of that has lost half of the joke. I saw another one called "Sir Osis of the River". Much cleverer!

What do you expect from a tupperware driver. (I take it Phylis has gone home)

[Keeping Up]

Ours was unique when we named it. Unfortunately someone did copy it - and people still keep mistaking us for them, even though they no longer own it.

[Steve King]

My previous boat's name TYRO is still unique according to Jim Shead's listing.

'Twould be a shame if someone copied it.

 

You may already have I'm afraid, I called my second speedboat TYRO back in the mid 1990s. It had been FAB 2 but I tired of that.

 

 

I'm surprised more people haven't come up with the name, although it was diffcult to get over to Woolwich Radio on the vhf when we went down through the Thames Barrier, many have never heard the word it seems.

I stand corrected ...

 

[gaggle]

I have only seen one "gaggle of geese" on the cut, the name is not painted on but when i give the name in when buying fuel or the like it makes the ladies giggle for some reason.

surely the canals are where you would expect to find a gaggle of geese.

[carlt]

I think it highly unlikely that I will ever come across another "Peter and Sarah Blake"

[Ange]

It shows 29 Ionas - actually there's 28 as Jim Shead's site has ours listed twice, once as a Doug Moore boat and the other as an unknown builder.

 

If we didn't like the name of the boat we were going to rename her Ellada - that would have been unique. We like Iona though so it's staying.

[Dominic M]

I thought renaming our boat Germany 4 England 1 would guarantee uniqueness

[Henhouse]

You beat me to it, in a similar vein I was going to say there isn't a boat called " Partick Thistle Nil "

How about Reliant? Nobody seems to have that name on Jim Shead's site, not as tough as Enterprise, but it's a good name:

Tupperware spaceships....it's just one step to far.

Nah, they're metal ships, built from a tritanium and duranium alloy, no plastic ships are allowed in space...

It's boating Jim...but not as we know it...

The Reliant was a grp prototype, easily identified by its 3 wheels.
