Well rude
Another fix of rude boat names:
Dave Winsall emailed: 'There was a yacht sailing out of Lymington around 2005 by the name of Kinky Black Underwear'. He has spotted another suitable candidate in Cala Dor marina in Mallorca, 'a powerboat named Slipper One.'
And from Mike Kopman: 'Years ago I raced on a US boat called WOFTAM…waste of f**king time and money. Then there's Prince Jefri Bolkiah's somewhat less subtly named 55m motor yacht Tits, complete with tenders Nipple 1 and Nipple 2.
'And as for Wet Posse... well that's just genius.
And from Mike Evans: 'Do not forget FUJIMO, apparently stood for F*** You Jane I'm Off. Was an IOR 50-footer racing in the States a few years ago.'
