NONE are Coast Wise.... But I suppose you could also find a few pig
boats that were documented Coast Wise too.

So it looks to be a bunch of luberly lake people name their boats all
sort of discusting things...

Hell, why not Blow Job or maybe Wet Spot...... as well.

Bagger.......... like I said, no worthy Sea Boat has a terestial

No they weren't. One was Passenger (Uninspected) and one was
Unclassified.

I've been following the CG documentation site for some time (8 or 10
years). Those designations are not consistent at all, and have
nothing to do with how the boat is used and/or what the boat is
capable of.

I have a list of 378 CSYs most of the documented and there is only one
of them that has a Coastwise designation without Recreational or
Fishing added. Some are Passenger, and some are Unclassified. But
the majority are Recreational.

Names of the boats on the list include Emerald Dragon (has been to
South America), El Unicorn (SSCA Commodores), one formerly named
Hungry Heifer (was in charter in the Chesapeake and now in St.
Thomas), one that was Sailin' Bear, one that was Floating Bear, Ol'
Dog 2 (also SSCA), several named Pegasus, and Peter Rabbit. All
documented Recreational.

The documentation has nothing to do with reality.

In case you are not familiar with SSCA Membership requirements:

*
*The applicant(s) must have been an Associate member of the SSCA and lived aboard his or her own sailboat for at least 12 consecutive months prior to making this application. The boat must have been the principal residence of the Applicant (s) at the time of application.
*# Distance
*One of the following cruising distance requirements must be met:
*
* 1. 1,000 mile ocean passage nonstop, or
* 2. 1,500 mile offshore passage with not more than one stop, or
* 3. 2,000 mile coastal passage with unlimited stops (one stop must be at least 1,000 miles from the starting point, excluding waterways, lakes, rivers and canals).


So it looks to be a bunch of luberly lake people name their boats all
sort of discusting things...

Yes people display a shocking lack of taste when naming boats. There's
only one documented Blow Job, but there are 30 boats named Wet Spot.

Our boat is listed as Recreational and so is a 33 foot boat that I'm
quite familiar with - they've been offshore to Halifax, and also over
to the Canaries, and presently are in the Med. Also friends of ours
who started out in the Virgin Islands, went through the Panama Canal,
spent two years in the Baja, and are now in Fiji. On a boat
classified as Recreational.

Actually, I've seen a Wet Spot. (It's a power boat.) And DH swears
he's seen a boat by the name of Blow Job.

animals???

I know of vessels named
Petral
Jeager
Halibut
Puffin
Sea Lion

But I dont know of any sea boats with a land animal name. At least one
that is still floating

SS Badger on Lake Michigan. A ferry, it burns coal and it has piston
engines.
