Message From The Editor
What’s in a name?
On the first day of boating writer school, the teacher explains that writing about funny and interesting boat names is always the opening assignment. In fact, over the years I have played that card several times. Whenever I am searching for a guaranteed popular topic, I (and most other boat scribes) reach for that gift-wrapped delight, the Boat Name List. The best part is that it never really gets old and everyone chuckles. You cannot lose!
The American owners association, Boat US, annually pulls the list out of the storage locker and invariably the results are delightful. You can read their most popular names all the way back to 2010 here.
