So I bought a boat and it needs a name. It's a 29 foot sailboat.

Currently I'm stuck on "Seaward" but it's only due to my lack of original thought and love of Arrested Development.

Saily McSailface.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Boaty McBoatface is a classic

I've been thinking about taking up sailing and getting a boat.

I really, really want to name my theoretical boat "Annie's Boobs". With a little picture of the monkey between the words.

It will offend people who don't get the reference, and amuse those who do....

Tell me about your boat!

I'm not sure I want to go more narrow with the references. :P

2001 Jeanneau 29.2 with a relatively new engine and sails. Not super fast, but comfortable and pretty easy to sail. Turns out it's pretty good timing as I now have a place to vacation when I can't travel abroad this summer.

Very nice, maybe leave it at Vera for now and change the name after a summer of sailing.

Nice boat.    :)

Now, that said....

My god man, you have hardly met her.  Get to know her, find out her foibles both good and bad.  Run her tight into the wind, race with a 3/4 run, power her around.  This is not a one night stand, this is SERIOUS STUFF.

(and she might be a Vera after all)

You know the saying about the happiest days of a boat owner, right?  :P
