I seem to remember a dinghy at Draycote that was called OTHER WAY UP! - painted upside down.

The vulgar and ostentatious Prince Jefri Bolkiah, brother of the Sultan of Brunei, named his super yacht Tits and the two tenders Nipple 1 and Nipple 2.

You could have saved yourself a few keystrokes, and us the labour of reading some of that. Surely being vulgar and ostentatious goes without saying in relation to superyacht ownership?
One could almost salute said prince for being upfront about his lack of taste and decorum, in contrast to the majority of superyacht names which advertise their owners' delusions of style and grace.

I'm trying really hard to be offended but it's not working so far.

When my brother and I built a Mirror dinghy in 1968 as the local youngsters at our club said that cruiser sailing was armchair sailing and dinghy sailing was real sailing. They had challenged us and got proved they were so wrong as after our first race, in which we came second, we won almost every race after that. We named our Mirror QED, short for quod erat demonstrandum, which means "which was to be demonstrated", or as we said "quite easily done". As a further humerous aside we had painted on the bottom of the boat, either side of the centreline, the word HELP.
