Perhaps someone else can confirm this.

Hi!

Why are boat names most of times feminine or general but hardly ever

Here is a wiki reference:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...as_% 22she%22)

And, as I recalled:
"This is simply standard English, no more, no less. In English, ships
are always "she". In Russian, they are always "he". It has nothing
whatever to do with hidden gender or sexuality issues, it's just the
English language."

Grrr, broken link!
Googling for "ships as she" points to a wiki talk page.
(and other interesting links)

Ancient tradition.
Women aboard was also considered to bring bad luck.
Same with bananas and umbrellas today.


Is a T-Top considered an umbrella?


No, that's a rod holder and a place to mount outriggers and your
antenna. The colored canvas is there to compliment the colors on your hull.
