Shouldn’t your boat’s name look as distinctive as your boat? A well-chosen and well-designed name on a transom or topsides is the finishing touch and creates the ultimate first impression for any boat. Your boat’s name is the single most highly visible clue to your nautical interests and sensibilities. Whether the name is whimsical (Y-Knot), classical (Terpsichore), irreverent (Aquaholic), mythical (Valkyrie), sly (For Sail), romantic (Wayfarer), or full of attitude (Bite Me), it won’t communicate your message without an effective design. Choose the lettering and graphic style that best expresses your boating aspirations and personality. Communicate your choices to a letterer, vinyl lettering shop, or a designer. Browse 1,500 boat names and explore resources for expanded research. Take a visual tour through the history of boat naming and across a seascape of boat transoms and topsides. Work with hand-painted, gold-leaf, vinyl or lighted display lettering.

Just like a child's name, there is a story behind every name on a boat's transom or bow. BOAT NAMING MADE SIMPLE by Susan D. Artof organizes 1000s of these names into a humorous & entertaining volume. Chapters include stories surrounding ships of legend, naming categories such as astrological names, names of sex, lives & vices, food names, funny names, romantic names & evil names. The author feels that boat naming goes beyond the arrangement of letters, to become an identity that follows both the boat & its skipper for as long as the vessel floats. What makes BOAT NAMING MADE SIMPLE unique is the historical review of boating including stories behind famous vessels like BEAGLE, ARGO, BOUNTY, DISCOVERY, & the SANTA MARIA. The author has researched sea lore & readers will learn about the stories of DAVY JONES, NEPTUNE, ATLANTIS & POSEIDON. In addition, the book examines contemporary stories behind the AMERICA'S CUP as well as the ill fated 1979 FASTNET RACE. There is so much more packed into this little book than just names, & it is a welcome addition to one's library to be read again & again. This is the first of many BOATING MADE SIMPLE SERIES books produced by THE CENTER PRESS, ISBN 0-9626888-2-7 $10.95 paperback/144 pgs. 5 3/8" x 8 3/8".

Naming a boat is as personal as naming a baby (even if few male skippers would risk telling the wife that). The culmination of many years of dreaming and penny pinching, the purchase of a boat of any size is a huge event for any sailor, and with that comes serious naming pressure. Many boatowners have a secret fear that someone else got their brilliantly original name first – or ruined it forever by reducing its reputation to snigger-worthy opprobrium. Sometimes it's so difficult to name a boat that skippers are desperate enough to ask the sorts of people who think Boaty McBoatface would be a good choice... The perfect gift for any skipper or would-be skipper, and featuring hundreds of common and uncommon names, this entertaining little book will answer perhaps the most important question new owners should ask themselves: what will this name say about me? And as everyone knows, once you've named a boat, you never ever change it, so it also answers the question: what is my boat name saying about me right now? Names will be categorised (and listed alphabetically within these chapters) as to: - Populist (helpfully yacht insurers release ranked lists of popular names each year, which has revealed some very interesting trends) - Don't Even Go There (they might be uncommon these days, but sometimes there's a good reason for that) - Pun Intended (some reveal a classic wit, others reveal just how many desperate unfunny dullards there are sailing around in yachts called Seas the Day) - A Bit of Pedigree (good names – but probably too classy for you to get away with copying them) - Common as Muck (bad names – Moondancer, Wave Catcher and others that sound like names from a bad children's novel: where they come from, why they're bad, and how to avoid inventing another) - Too Much Information (why using a boat to celebrate a bonus/retirement/divorce/second wife tends to be a bad idea a few months down the road) - The Devil's Own (don't tempt fate by calling your boat Invincible, as the Royal Navy did each time the last one sank/exploded – plus other superstition-violating names) With fascinating history, a fair bit of psychology and a lot of humour, this is the essential guide for all would-be boat owners, and anyone looking for a dad-type gift on Father's Day or Christmas.

An entertaining compendium of names, Let's Name It is a convenient prompter for any stymied boat owner. Seventeen chapters of alphabetically arranged names include themes such as early tradition and superstition, navigational stars, feminine influence, and word puns. Corcoran and Hackler offer excellent advice on the search for an appropriate name and lettering style. Tripple Effect, Stasea, Fearless Fosdick, Norse Maiden, Providence . . . The names are all here--10,000 of them-- and the wonder is that no one ever collected them before. Let's Name It Sophisticated Versatile Helpful Comprehensive Easy to Use Entertaining What's in a name? A lot, say the authors of this book. Modern psychology would agree that the time and energy we invest in naming people, things, or boats, can often give clues into the personality, lifestyles, and values of the people doing the naming.--John T. Thios, Associate Professor of Psychology, Richard Bland College of The College of William and Mary; and sailor.
