1. Shaggin' Waggin
2. GTG
3. Big Chungas
4. Love Buzz
5. Serve the servents
6. Heart Shaped Box
7. Come as you are
8. Even Flow
9. Lounge Act
10. In Bloom
11. Ligma
12. Nunya ( joke for when someone's asks you a question. You reply nunya they say what's nunya? You say nunya business.)
13. Old Town Road

Hi all

A great response to this post from all and keep the names coming

Thanks for the suggestions so far and there are some potential winners in there

What we decided to do was to let the crew name the boat but i wanted to have a few suggestions up my sleeve just in case they couldn't come up with anything

Ideally if the name reflects what the boat is for when we do the weekly race report in the local paper we can catch peoples attention with the name and get a bit of interest happening in the community

Regards Don

Great idea Don, that way the community gets involved as well.
May not be appropriate but "Bong Jovi" might be a hit

I'm sure your local newspaper will love to report on the SCANDOL of the old sailor teaching the young lass what sheets to pull ????

Hell it may make the 6 o'clock national news

I reckon this one nailed it for a Rocket crewed mainly by younger.
I also see that there is a j24 called Tasmanian Devil ,with animated logo.

Hi all

The name for the Boat is JenZ

As the boat is a J24 and the crew will be generation Z we decided to combine the two

This is how it will be on both sides on the bow oi the boat





and the boat will look something like this
