Help me rename my boat (or just tune in to mock my poor taste)

[Latadjust]

How about Red Tide, perhaps in another language

It looks like I am going to end up buying the Concordia 47. (Farr-designed, Carroll-built racer-cruiser which supposedly has a PHRF of -12).

The current name is not bad but I haven't really warmed up to it. What do you think of these names (note that the boat is red)

Black Rose
Rosa Negra
Dark Rosaleen

Farr Rover
Red Rover
Red Sled

Sea Witch

Preternatural
Xenoform
Xenomorph
Roccinante
Astraeus

Let the mockery begin. I may in the end choose to keep the original name which I am purposely not sharing.

Nice ride.
I always prefer names that can be easily understood on the radio.

Rosebud? (Citizen Kane reference)
Radio Flyer
Ruby
Cherrybomb
Raspberry Fizz

Red Feather.
Get a good surveyor that understands the boat and the method of construction.

Cherry Bomb is pretty cool.

The boat has already been surveyed. All contingencies have been released.

Whatever you do, make sure you spell the name correctly!

Just saw this about an hour ago where I hauled out today. Nice try with the cool Latinate name, but big fail.

 

[Israel Hands]

Is Biggus Dickus taken?

 

[Kolibri]

Cherry Bomb is cool. A couple other ideas:

Scarlet Fever
Red Hot Chili Pepper
Ruby Slipper
Ladybug
Satan's Minion

 

[El Borracho]

Is Biggus Dickus taken?

Red Rocket of Love?

 

[Kolibri]

"The Baboon's Ass" probably isn't a very good idea

Red boat. ROXANNE, hands down.

If only for the opportunity to hail you on the VHF. "ROXXXXX-anne,..."

If you have to explain it, it probably isn't a good choice.

Nice boat BTW

And when you re-christen the boat use this for a toast.....

Like custom license plates.

you do realise that there is a formal procedure for renaming a vessel ?

Yeah. It is a documented vessel. As far as paperwork goes, I have to submit the new name tomorrow. There is also a lot of tradition around name changes. That will have to wait a few weeks. But the paperwork needs to go forward now.
