I am not certain this is true, but I recall reading somewhere that the
Russian custom is masculine names. Perhaps someone else can confirm this. Mark Browne wrote: Hi! Why are boat names most of times feminine or general but hardly ever they have a masculin name? Remko |

Mark Browne I dunno, but maybe with enough Vodka and snowed in for the winter in some isolated cabin in the most remote reaches of Siberia guys start looking good......Naw, personally can't even imagine it. :-) I don't know much about the Russian language, maybe "boat" is a masculine noun in Russian- but I didn't think their nouns were gender specific. |

Here is a wiki reference:

It has nothing whatever to do with hidden gender or sexuality issues, it's just the English language." Mark Browne wrote: Hi!

Grrr, broken link!
Googling for "ships as she" points to a wiki talk page.

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. Dan |

Eisboch Once a year during our family gathering on some coastal area we charter a fishing boat for some off-shore fishing. One year when that place was in South Carolina we charter a 52 ft sport fishing boat. This was the first time I ever got sea sick. The seas were topping out at 8 ft and the captain was very eager to get us to were we were going to fish for the day. I think he might have had the whole boat out of the water at times. I any case the "jumping boat" for two hours finally got to me. While we were doing that I saw a 19inch tv in the salon take flight and crash on the floor. This was followed by the wheel on the fly bridge falling apart that ended with the captain steering by a single stainless spoke sticking out of the hub. This looked pretty dangerous as I though he would get impaled on the thing. They attempted to remove the wheel from the lower helm, but could not remove it. I then took a snooze and woke up to silence and the boat at anchor. Feeling better I came out and found that one engine had the exhaust bellow disentigrated and the port was stuffed with rags to keep the water from coming in. Diesel soot was everywhere in the engine compartment and the other engine had just stopped. They were not sure why. Then the girl that my brother are dating whipped out a banana and started eating it. The captain put out a yell and threw it overboard :-) This was the first time this lady had gone out with us and she had never heard the banana curse before. We had two mates on board and one decided to play a Tom Petty CD. Of course the first song was "Break Down" The bow was pointed into the waves and we kept fishing. And stated catching a few fish. Nothing to write home about. But we had not caught anything time this point. Apparently they had been fishing for a few hours while I was snoozing. Well Seatow arrived at dust and I had to give the guy a lot of credit. As he came out the boat would vanish between the waves. And then pop over the next crest. I was a small pilot house type boat with two big outboards on it. After they hooked up we had a real nice tow into the harbor by moonlight. The seas calmed down and it was really a nice slow ride back to the dock. Our trip that was suppose to go from 6am to 6pm ended around 2am the following morning. Now I am not saying it was because of the bananas. Most likely a lack of maintenance during the busy part of the charter season and the fact that one of the mates forgot to fuel up the tank for the starboard engine I am sure played a role. ( this was figured out the following day) But the trip did get much more pleasant for me after that banana went over the side :-) Capt Jack R.. |

I remember eating bananas on the family boat frequently when I was a kid, my mom loves the things. I don't recall ever having any major problems but then if one knows of a superstition, it's easy to connect anything that goes wrong with it. Personally, I don't believe in any of that stuff. |
