Sorry to veer off topic..

Yes, I noticed that. I tried looking for it, and the Delta yacht came up as a charter and also for sale.
Maybe this is the "replacement" yacht? or just a popular name. Maybe DR will chime in, and give us some insight. http://www.interpacyachts.com/yachts...w/quesera.html |

No shortage of macho names out there.
I heard that they do poorly chartering to female clientele, ever since a yacht’s name was successfully used as a legal defence.  | |

It's really a shame that some can't exercise a little more selectiveness (read: class) in naming their boats. I once saw a center-console named "In & Out Urge". The owner claimed it was because he kept the boat at an In & Out storage facility and called ahead when he got the Urge. One glance at the barely clad, society challenged women onboard his boat, suggested otherwise.

Well, I think the one name that takes the cake would be the infamous "Tits" and her two tenders "Nipple 1" and "Nipple 2."
She's long been sold and I think she's now named "Singha Lady."

Money can't buy everything. 
At least those names are the minority.
Mind you, the delinquent side of me can appreciate the fun of flying in the face of convention and naming a yacht somewhat "improperly" but I think it's far more amusing to do so subversively.  | |

Wasn't she renamed Claire? She was renamed again since then?

Last year I saw a 50 footer named "white trash", and ya, they were sitting on badly made lawn furniture, drinking wine from a box and gorging on a roasted chicken.
I though to take a photo, but didn't as I heard they were packing.  http://www.wtyc.com/ | |

OMG! If you hadn't posted that link, I wouldn't have believed it. We might have to create a new thread for this.... not.

YF News, I'm not sure about her being named Claire before. You might be right but all I know is she is now Singha Lady. Haven't seen her around these parts for some time now too.

She was built as Claire, then renamed Tits, then she was Sammax and later Samax. If she is Singha Lady today, I don´t know...

According to ************ she is still Samax - at least as of 18th May this year.  | |
