I am not certain this is true, but I recall reading somewhere that the

Perhaps someone else can confirm this.

Not so difficult to understand. Have you ever seen a Russian woman?

Lots of very beautiful Russian women.

THEY COST THE SAME TO KEEP AFLOAT!

Hi!

Why are boat names most of times feminine or general but hardly ever
they have a masculin name?

But one will go down on you if you don't spend money on it, and the opposite
is true of the other one.

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.

That boat is from Naples, and the current owner posts to a fishing forum
that I frequent.

He has repowered his boat since that was taken.
