a wee compettition.

[adzam]

ok doke guys, as can be seen in this thread HERE i have a new addition,

this model just needs a couple touches, maybe a figure or two,

but what is more important ( to me anyways) is a name for this boat.

So.....

any ideas, please post below. keep `em clean

so come on people, get posting.

i`ll evaluate what answers we have at the weekend, and will close the comp a week from saturday. ( july 17th)

there is a small prize to the person with the best entry. the prize is a copy of "jane`s warships recognition guide"

to be judged by myself :bangin: and sonic :busted_re

please note, only registered users of this forum are open to winning the prize, but any member can post a suggestion. ( registered members 10 posts and above so :poster_no )

the prize is a small token, no cash alternative etc etc

so , get thinking guys. :play_ball

How about 'Fisher Rose'?

AJG

 

[duncan]

"Rose" naw..Thistle maybe. How about "Silver Darling" after the fishers`name for the herring they hunted?

 

[alanb]

Why not call it

"Ocean Harvest"

" Provider"

"Forth Ranger"

"Lothian Rose"

"Harvest Reaper"

Just a few suggestions

 

[ajg141]

'Fisher Rose' is a pun on the harbour where my father used to berth his 'Cygnet' in the '60's!

 

[duncan]

Naw...no enuff room fur aw them !:music_whi:

 

[duncan]

Fisher Rose ? I dont get the pun AJG ..am a bit dim:noidea:

 

[ajg141]

Duncan

I know my puns aren't up to much but try Fisherrow - just down the road a wee bit from Leith. They used to have fishing boats there years ago!

Adamz,

I thought long and hard and came up with the flippant answers of "Adamz Folly" and "Fisher Queen" but finally came back to my original though - based on the Prize - Lady Jane.

 

[duncan]

: Ajg, That would cover street names in just about every fishing village on the NE coast and round the Moray Firth, they all seem to have a Fisher Row. Thought there might have been an obscure link to caviar/fish roe. eggs or .....Nah. Great looking model, some wee fish in the scuppers would be good. Like the rusty chain and orange net.:fish2::fish2::fish2::fish2:

 

[adzam]

aww come on guys, surely more ideas out there :artist:

 

[ajg141]

Don't know if you are already aware of this Adzam but I have just discovered on: www.denholma.freeserve.co.uk that your boat was originally named 'CARRIE BII' and was built in 1988. The weight of the boat is 4 tons and she is described as a 'potter'. Apparently a photo of the original is available from the above site.

If she is a "Potter" then a dignified name like the Lady Lillian.
