blackrose Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Please don't chose a smart Alec 'amusing' name like 'narrow escape' or 'Norty Cal', then keep asking people if they 'get it?'... MtB The only joke boat name that's actually amused me was "Shellfish Beach". No doubt the owner bought it with his divorce settlement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murflynn Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Some friends have a boat called F.U.B.B. which is a Wishbone Ash song - I'll leave you to look up the acronym if you don't already know it. "Fubbs" was the name of Charles II's yacht, named after his mistress the Duchess of Portsmouth. Has a nice ring to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
