Creative Tender Names

[Squeaks]

Here in the SF Bay Area our transit trains are called Bay Area Rapid Transit (B.A.R.T). I carved into the seat the name we gave our black Porta-Bote - Black BART. There's a couple pics of her in Bruce Bingham's "Living Aboard" book, which noted that the carved name might deter thieves.

I have seen a boat named HILDALGO, and its tender named PENZA , in reference to the great Cervantes masterpiece.

Wheels - Leisure Lady and Working Girl? Leisure Lady and Lady of the House? Leisure Lady and Working Hubby?

My Bro in law has a nice boat called "Home Frys"" (He has a house in "Frys Mangrove" in the Bahamas) I thought the dink should be "Tater Tot" but they want "Katsup" What do you all think?

CSY man has a valid point but while we do not need another OBGYN with "Sea Section" or a Lawyer with a gaudy "Sea Questered" it is entertaining and predictable.

Working Hubby?

I think "Tomato Paste" is already taken, so "Katsup" (or “Boot” or “Sherlock & Vernon”) might be appropriate.

Many years ago I owned a mono called "cool change" and and the tender was "small change"

Katsup works for me.

Our boat is Leisure Lady. Haven't thought of a name for the tender. Any idea's?? working Lady just doesn't sound right.

Well, considering one of the circumstances in which you might need it urgently....


Leeshore lady.

[GordMay]

t/t "Leisure Lady"
Connemara's "Leeshore Lady", suggests another derivative "Lesser Lady"; but I, somewhat perversely, like "Working Lady".

Well for the most part i haven't named my dink since its an old raggy Avon inflatable. Ive now got a nice little rowing dink and would like to find a good name for it. The boats name is Distant Star, a 1972 Pearson 36.

This is the new dink,

Starlet
Wink

[Boracay]

And the closest star to earth is the "Sun".

Or, if you like puns, "Son".

Rink-Y-Dink? Starry Dink? Local Dink? Need a Drink?

[Alan Wheeler]

Probably more apt if you change the name of the dink to Distant Star, then you could call the boat "Black Hole".
