Every time I visit my 28' S2 at the coast, the guy in the Pearson next
to me is there so I figure he spends ALL his free time there alone but his boat has no name on it so I asked why. He replied: "My wife and I argue a lot and she told me to stop being so cheap and pay for some professional help for our relationship, I took her advice but "MARRAIGE COUNSELOR" wouldnt fit on the stern." |

Well, he could wait awhile and name it "she got the house". ;-)

When I threw her out & kept my children, we chose "Free Three", more for our own spirit of innocent adventure than any of spite. Later, it got rammed up my nose in court by a creative attorney. Suggest a more tactical name like "Judges Rule" using cheap, peel-off letters. :-) Up my way, "inexplicable casualties" have been know to occur to spitefully-named vessels; didn't we have a big thread on this 5 years ago? :-) |

My favorite boat name of all time means absolutely nothing--in fact, is
likely to be totally miscontrued--to anyone who doesn't know the story behind it: George wanted a boat...for years he begged his wife Ruth to let him buy one, but Ruth wanted nothing to do with boats at all. Finally, though, she relented...he could have his boat, but only on one condition: that she would never have to set foot on it or even go near it. George agreed, and bought his boat...which he named "Ruthless." Hemi, demi, semi related. When growing up, I was a huge fan of the Swallows and Amazon stories by Arthur Ransome. One of the characters is Nancy Blackett - she and her sister are the Amazon pirates. Thing is, Nancy isn't her real name. It's Ruth. But she isn't called Ruth, because, obviously, pirates are ruthless. |

Moral: don't paint the name on the boat until AFTER the divorce and settlement are final. Ho-ho, STARBOARD!! "Final" is an illusion - such things get people dragged back into court anytime by inspiring creative attacks even years later; the list of "possiblities" is endless, and their outcomes unpredictable. It is always better to avoid any appearance of spitefulness or "nyah-nyah's". In fact, the best strategy is to invite them for a sail once or twice - they will usually refuse, and one has bought goodwill. Should they accept, one need only provide an inoperative head, bad snacks, stiff vintage kapok lifejackets, John Cage on the stereo and an empty booze locker. :-) |
