These are all very cringy. I'd agree, most are inside jokes that seemed funny at the time, people think you're just an a$$hat for the pun... including my suggestion.I always scoff at the overused puns. Owners attempting to be clever, seldom accomplish their goal. Some of my (least) favorites;
Knot on Call
Seas the Day
Codfather
Buoyoncé
Ship Happens
Master Baiter
...you get the idea.
Agree. So many "seas the day" and "knot on call". It's neither original nor amusing after you've seen it so many times.These are all very cringy. I'd agree, most are inside jokes that seemed funny at the time, people think you're just an a$$hat for the pun... including my suggestion.
Don’t have our boat yet but I had planned on naming it after the air craft carrier that my father served in Vietnam . MN Saratoga
Always nice to honor the experience of our veterans.
thanks , if I can be on the water this summer I may have a chance for my father to visit . Sadly his health is deteriorating
Ya , we are best friends in every way . His mind if failing so our new conversations are fairly simple . I haven’t told him that I plan to buy a big water boat which is foreign since we always spoke of everything. Well anyway ,found my boat 390 Sedan near Chicago !That would be an awesome experience for him.
We are getting ready to rename our 340. Defiant was on the final 4 list.I don't know how often it's used, but I really wanted to name my current boat "Defiant". I'm kind of a Trek nerd and it would have been subtle nod to one of the more tougher ships in that universe. It would have looked great in gold leaf.
My wife initially didn't want to carry Jennifer B (her name) over to the new boat, and I thought I had a chance. If course I didn't tell about about the Trek linkage because she just tolerates my Trek-nerd-dom. I said that it was also honoring her attitude toward life. In the end she still wanted her name on the boat.
Back on topic, I crew on a racing sailboat, and will never set foot on a boat named 3 sheets to the wind.
Do you know where that saying came from?
2 sheets is ok. 4 sheets is ok, but 3 sheets is unbalanced. much like a drunken sailer.
The way it was explained to me some 50+ years ago from my grandfather was, that a poorly maintained windmill, with a tattered and torn sheet that covered the blade leaving only "3 sheets to the wind" would start to wobble and eventfully fall over "much like a drunken sailor"
Maybe that was just grand pop's story but it sure made sense to me.
