In order to meet the minimum dollar requirement for an order to a vinyl transfer place I had a couple of extra decals made up. They were for an old Discovery 174 I repaired, and read "Fat Bastard" but my wife wouldn't let me put them on the canoe. I generally name by canoes POS immediately after I fall out of them. |

Old Town Penobscot called "Baby" because it was my first and we babied it. A Steve Zapf Merlin called "Rose" A Redbird design called, what else "Redbirds" Haven't yet named the new 16' 6" homemade boat I just bought. Had a scanoe we called "The Barge" Have friends that named theirs: Baby Jr. or just Junior for short. Precious. And "The Big Green Boat" Just good fun |

The 68lb tandem is affectionately referred to as "The Barge" both on the water and the portages and the Osprey, "Shirley P" after my Mother. Cheers Rob |

After looking at pictures of my newest boat a few times, a Novacraft Trapper, I thought the "S.S. Minnow" was appropriate? Guess that makes me the "Skipper?" |

I had an old glass canoe, brand unknown, that we used the first year. It was a bit of a slug. Anyway, my nickname was Cougar, and it was my canoe, so we ended up calling it the Cougnoe. Christy |

All voyageur canoes....I paddle the: "Raquette River Evaporator" (a 32-foot woodstrip Adirondack 90-miler racer) "Slenda Glenda" (an unusually narrow 28-foot woodstrip Adirondack 90-miler racer) "Texan" (a very large 34-foot graphite/foam core Yukon 1000-mile racer) "Adirondack Voyageur" (a 28-foot woodstrip Yukon YRQ and Y1K racer - my avatar) "Compass Rose" (a new custom 28-foot woodstrip Yukon racer) Several other tandem and solo canoes I paddle don't seem to have permanent names. |

I have an official Evergreen Prospector affectionately known as "Scrapee Scarlet", but mostly just 'Scrapee'. A recently acquired pink Mad River Canoe Flashback was named "Pinko" as a reference to her communist past. A brand new Nova Craft Ocoee has not earned anything yet. edit: The Ocoee was named Mary Mayhem. And we are buying a fourth. |

Only named the 1st canoe I bought. Anemone - A Bell Fusion. Still have spent more days in that canoe than any other. |

Built a Winters Quetico stripper from an old redwood picnic table my mother was getting ready to put on the curb for free. I named her "Picnic". CB |

Our Evergreen prospector is named The Happy Adventure after Farley Mowat's Boat Who Wouldn't Float. Thankfully it has not followed in the footsteps of its namesake. |
