We all think of the Mac as a boat that can power and sail. I named my boat HOT TUB as it looks like a over size tub and motors faster than sailing.

It is not legit. I photoshopped it.

I came up with the idea a few days ago and a great re-name for our SeaSaw.

The Admiral did not go for it. Go figger.

That is awesome. I would have gotten it.

My first job was as a page in a library. I left before I could be promoted to a full chapter*.

You can't rename it anyway according to sea lore. Different spelling are a grey area.

A friend of mine told me a funny history: in his homeport, there was a gipsy fisherman who oned a small boat. In Spanish, gipsy is "gitano", so the guy named his boat "Gitanic" ...


My previous boat was red and I called it "Escabetx" ("Pickle" in Catalan) . My is called "Seitó" ("Anchove" in Catalan)... my wife sells canned fish.

You have to love this site. International replies on the names of their Mac boats.

OK, here"s the story behind my Mac's name NoneShallPass.

My son and I were always big fans of the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Our prior boat was a 31' fixed keel which ended its service life with us when we hit a rock reef which damaged it to the point where the insurance company totaled it. I had already had it up for sale with the intention of buying a Mac with the proceeds. Anyway, when reminiscing about it one day with friends, I happened to say "Those rocks just stood up and said None Shall Pass" as the black knight does in the movie. The name stuck, although I wanted to spell it as NunnSchallPass to make it sound more like some obscure German word (I was over ruled).

Surprisingly, many people have gotten the connection. I've had them go past saying "Nee, Nee, Nee", ask me about African swallows, and make a horse trott sound by cupping their hands like coconuts and clapping. Now were considering lettering the life buoy with "I'm Not Dead Yet". And if you don't understand what any of this means, you'll just have to go rent the movie.

My boats name is the AirBender as that is a sails function.

My next big boat's name will be called (drum roll please)..."The Kids Inheritance" for that is what it will be!!

Tomfoolery.

MERRYLEGS,
my wife's nick name which is a derivative of her name- Merewyn, a Gaelic name!

I wanted to recognize my wife’s heritage with a name from her home country, Korea. After much thought, I named the boat Chung Mu, the former name of a very pretty city on the southern coast of the Korean peninsula, which is also near her hometown. Chung Mu is also the honorary title given to several military notables of the Chosun dynasty, but especially the Korean naval hero Admiral Yi Sun Shin, who in the late 16th century, successfully engaged the Japanese fleet. The term translates roughly to loyalty, chivalry.

Old librarians never retire, they just get archived.
