Okay, try to figure this one out. First one gets a beer at the FLIBS get-together.

I'd say I'm young enough to know what that means, but i've never heard it before! Maybe it's a Canadian thing...
Or maybe I need to get out more...

Tom,
I think it means two joints and a twelve pack. I will take you up on the beer if I am right.

Castelrock,
That meaning has come up several times, which I think is hilarious. Maybe if I owned the boat that's what it would have meant. But here's a hint, my dad purchased the boat and named it.
Anyone else?

| After you...
Tom,
I wil give it one more try. Your father is a big fan of the America's Cup?
I heard of a guy at a yacht club two towns over who named his boat "After You". His pick up line would work like this, he would meet a woman in the club bar and tell her "I named my boat after you." The woman wouldn't know what to say, so he would take her down to the dock to show her his boat. The rest you can figure out.
Pretty slik move.

Castlerock,
The name actually means: TWOJAYS - my folks, Jane and Joe, PLUSTWELVE - they had 12 kids. Yep, I'm one of twelve, in the middle. Good Italian family. That 1987 34 Silverton was the very first boat my Dad owned. Decided on it after he retired. We had a few great years on it before he passed, and kept it until 2003. Heartbreak to sell it, but others things in life took priority.
Hey, I'll buy that beer anyway of you show up to FLIBS.

That would be brilliantly subversive if it didn't look like a photoshop. LOL Great name though!

| "odd" yacht names
There are the obvious odd yacht names like "Tits".
However there are other ones that would seem to be innocuous except that in certain places the names have other connotations in common usage.
As an example which gave me momentary pause: http://www.yachtforums.com/forums/37149-post145.html
"an identical sister ship named the "Morning Glory,"
Morning Glory was explained to me by my tailor as "That happy situation in the morning when a gentleman first arises and is incapable of dressing either to the left or to the right".
Any other amusing yacht names that come to mind?
