Maybe writing it as "yssuP teW" gives you a clue...

I was thinking about a different name for Port and Starboard, maybe some smart remark like "Give way!" on one side and "Problem?" on the other. (Will take suggestions!)

This is also a cool idea, it translates to Watermirror...

We're doing graphics for a J24 called "No Hable Starboard"

Okay. Got it. Duhhh.

I kept getting stuck with "tew" being a cutesy way of spelling two. Or II. Upside down worked out to "met dnssh" by the way, Mary.

I definitely think "Lady on a tramp" would be a step-up!

Sorry, you're right, it's backwards, not upside down.

Mary, my mind is just to pure, wholesome, and unadulterated to get that? What does a drenched cat have to so with sailing?

But that's just it - Wet Cat.....

(except of course, a Laser is not a cat)

Well, it is cat-rigged, so it is actually a cat boat.

Now you're stretching it.

Oops, sorry, didn't mean that as it came out

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

I thought of another "Cat Name" today... "Two Fast"

I don't care who you are, that just good!

This forum is disgusting .Bring back the old forum!

Back in 1985, Miami, Fl., the local J24 fleet had an all girl boat, pretty good sailors too. The name of their boat was Cunning Stunt. Swear to God.

I crewed on a glossy black black boat named Sambo, but that was way before "politicaly correct" was a known term.

I still think "little bass turd" is a great name for a fishing boat. For my I-20, I was gonna put a huge "D" on each hull, and then name the boat "Double D's." Girlfriend said nay.....oh well....maybe she just has too much class for me?

Well, for what it's worth, if I ever get around to naming my P-18, I'm gonna call it "See Shel"

Actually Trey,

I denied that name.

I refuse to sail on a boat that sounds like it was named after a stinkpot.

At the 2001 Ruff Rider, the logistics boat was a shrimp boat named 'WIDE LOAD'

Asked the skipper about the name. He said that the boat had been hauled about on land for years, never finished out until he bought it (and then not terribly finished). so when he bought the boat, it had its towing banner across it... WIDE LOAD. He figured the boat'd had that name for so long, he wasn't gonna change it.

Not a bad name for a cat.

'WIDE LOAD' - Not a bad name for a cat.

Just don`t tell his wife he named the boat after her !

Took some people off the beach for an introductory ride to the world of catamarans and when the wind hit the sails and we took off the guy said, "God, that was like a controlled explosion!"
I thought that might make a good name.... "Controlled Explosion"

I'm going to name my cat "Exploding White Mice."

Well, I know this might be traditionalist and sentimental and not very creative, but my father named all his sailboats for his two daughters -- Mary-Bet. At least it made us kids feel involved and important and part of it all.

My sister and her husband named their catamarans "Mush Monk," which were based upon nicknames for their children.

And, guess what, all four of those kids (Mary, Bet, Mush and Monk) are sailors.
