Danny, Five doctors over here owned a boat together. You never knew who was aboard at any time as they were all high powered medicos who were on call to various hospitals. They called their boat "Witchdoctor". It makes more sense heard than spelled.
Another notable was two fellows I knew well. One was deaf - the other blind. The blind fellow was the best sail trimmer I've ever seen as he knew from the tension in the sheets. The deaf guy was the helmsman. There was always at least one other person aboard as crew. They called their boat "Hear no Evil - See No Evil".
