Funniest Boat Name Fails

 

Mar 8, 2018

Boat names – we received a lot of them plus a whole treatise on them from Dave Stark (below.)

Have your say. Send an email to CYonboard@kerrwil.com and share you opinion on boat names or anything else on the water!

I have a Gemini catamaran named Bigeminy. I’m also a heart rhythm specialist.

Our sailboat … “No Rush”

My small 21ft SanJuan sloop is named “Scotch Mist”. As in is it real or just a chimera?!!
— Sandy Lauder

Our current boat a 2007 Hanse 370 is named “BANK Note” I was a banker and my wife is a music teacher in our working lives. A friend who is a sailor came up with the name for us in about one minute! People who know us love it, people who do not know us come up with all kinds of connotations!
Best, Grant Tipler
