Naming your cat

Bobcat:

Do you still have the artwrok ? It would be a great T-shirt minus your name and F16 since I sail another boat.

A bunch of us were out single handing H16s on a lake. One boat went over but, because he was behind everyone else, wasn't noticed at first. When we realized he wasn't there we went back to find him.

By the time we got back he and the boat had drifted into a large, low bushy tree. That night around the campfire his boat was officially named Bushwacker.

My little boat was called:

My current boat is "Lethal Weapon" after my previous boat (Comfortably Numb) had 2 - 3 confirmed kills in the last few months of ownership. My other boat was called "Catapult" and the next will probably be "Ninja Turtle" but I'll make up my mind when I get it.

A friend just put a new Tiger on the water and has called it "Whacking Day" with a picutre of Homer Simpson looking like a ninja on the side - looks awesome!

Nice pic. What kind of boat is that? Your website link doesn't work. What is up with the 4.3 forum. Did it die?

"Tempus fugit" time flies
I named my first monohull "Tempus" (Latin for time- meaning I am doing time in the USAF and needed a toy). The only thing to name my cat was "fugit"

Although
"more controlled than it looks" sounds good, but is a little long

That's my old 4.3. Link fixed.

4.3 forum just isn't very active right now - not dead.

LOL "little potato of hope" that is the sweetest thing I have ever heard. I LOVE that name.

I laughed out loud on that one hehe. Great name

So it looks like Im going to go with the name "Honu".

I even designed the logo (see attachment)

The 3 is there because I graduated in 03 so the "O" is the letter O for the word "honu" and the number "0" for "03"

Current boat and previous Tornado were named ALIVE....

See here for why - http://www.badongo.com/vid/80571

Other boats were

The Predator (which sported Kittyhawk style sharks mouth on the bow followed by gills, and fin graphics)

Appetite for Destruction
Sir Psycho
Rampaging Muppet
Rhino Juice
The Big Don't Argue.

That looks great. Good job.

thanx

Our Nacra 5.5SL is "Wicked Wet" which is also the name of our LLC. We are in the Indoor Waterpark Business. Only problem is I'm not crazy about having my wife drive around with the name on the car door. Too many nuts out there.....

"HONU", it's perfect, the logo is great! Happy sailing.

What does "HONU" look like in Arabic script? I'm considering breaking with my tradition and naming my boat the masculine form of "Honu", and using Arabic script.

THAT SHOULD TURN SOME HEADS!! Maybe I'll get may own personal file at "Homeland Security"!!!

This one is my all-time favorite cat name but I'm sorry I can't remember the owners name to give him credit but I did save the picture............ (I can't upload the picture now because it is a .bmp extension and I'm not able to figure out how to change that.) The boats name is Wind Bitch. Has a little silhouette of the truck mudflap girl resting backwards on her hands with her hair flying.... Looks so cool!

Although I'm certain Bonnie would never go for it...and also because it's clearly been done before...but I still like it; "Blow Me".

First boat was "Flippen Fearless", 2nd "Flippen Fearless 2"...then big crash and the name was retired. We're now on "Plays With Matches".

Thanx Im glad you liked it.

I checked with my friend and she says there is no masculine form of Honu because the males and females are both called Honu.

Lol trust me writing ANYTHING in arabic when ur in the states is SOOO not worth the hassle hehe.

Blow me!? Ha! ROTFL

Now that is funny.

My Stiletto is named "Toute de Suite", which is pronounced "toot sweet". Thats French for "Right now". It fits when I want to go sailing Toute de Suite.

Peace,
Clayton

"Current boat and previous Tornado were named ALIVE...."

I love the P.O.D. song behind the video...an awesome combination...

That is a really nice logo and the best part is that there is some real meaning to the name. Now if you can pick a boat that is worthy.

I've secured the name "wind weapon" for my next N20. Working on the logo.

However, I've always wanted to put this across my spinnaker:

I'm going to take a wild guess that some local authorities may take issue with it, though!

While sailing in Marblehead, MA I say a trimaran called "Pollo del Mar" - Chicken of the sea. I have always liked that one. My first boat was called "Redline" because I was in the how hard can I push it stage when I owned it (it was an H16). Lots of learning expereinces on that one BTW.

Nice art work! We see green sea turtles off our beach everytime we go.

I saw a semi being driven by a rather attractive blonde lady one time. The interesting part was that all the mud flaps had a chrome silhouette of a fat guy drinking a beer.

If you simply call it "Mr. Honu", you'll get some form of masculinity, or perhaps only gender confusion would result...

My old '79 Hobie-18 was the "Geriatric Blue Hobie", or "GBH". That's because it was a geriatric blue Hobie. People usually added something else to the name when they saw us sneaking up on them. Lots of miles and success with that boat, we liked to mention that our boat was old enough to drink.

My Hobie-20 was "WikiWiki", which is Hawaiian for "Fast". Whimsical and descriptive.

My 6.0 is "Katzenjammer", orginal inspiration from the "Katzenjammer Kids" comic from a "few" years ago about two mischievous kids ("adventures of Hans and Fritz, twins and fellow warriors in the battle against any form of authority"). Each hull can be a mischievous kid... It's German, meaning essentially the wailing of cats. I like that, but also that for me the name evokes cats and windjammers if pronounced in the usual butchering of foreign languages. I waited for the right boat for this name, subsequent boats of merit will be Katzenjammer II and so on.

The F-27 is "Tri-Pawed" because to me it is like a three hulled (legs) catamaran. Three-legged cat became Tri-Pawed in the obvious pun on tripod for a trimaran. This was my wife's contribution. Eventually a logo of a Pirate Terrier with a peg leg will be designed.

I saw an ad listing a cruising cat for sale. The boat was named Willie Flipit.

That was the sister ship to the "Betty Don't"
