{"product_id":"yacht-were-you-thinking","title":"Yacht Were You Thinking?","description":"\u003cp\u003eNaming a boat is as personal as naming a baby (even if few male skippers would risk telling the wife that). The culmination of many years of dreaming and penny pinching, the purchase of a boat of any size is a huge event for any sailor, and with that comes serious naming pressure. Many boatowners have a secret fear that someone else got their brilliantly original name first - or ruined it for ever by reducing its reputation to snigger-worthy opprobrium. Sometimes it's so difficult to name a boat that skippers are desperate enough to ask the sorts of people who think Boaty McBoatface would be a good choice...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                      \u003cp\u003eThe perfect gift for any skipper or would-be skipper, and featuring hundreds of common and uncommon names, this entertaining little book will answer perhaps the most important question new owners should ask themselves: what will this name say about me? And as everyone knows, once you've named a boat, you never ever change it, so it also answers the question: what is my boat name saying about me?\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n                      \u003cp\u003eNames will be categorised and listed alphabetically within these chapters:\u003cbr\u003e\n                    - Pun Intended (some reveal a classic wit, others reveal just how many desperate unfunny dullards there are sailing around in yachts called Seas the Day)\u003cbr\u003e\n                    - Common as Muck (bad names - Moondancer, Wave Catcher and others that sound like names from a bad children's novel: where they come from, why they're bad, and how to avoid inventing another)\u003cbr\u003e\n                    - A Bit of Pedigree (good names - but probably too classy for you to get away with copying them)\u003cbr\u003e\n                    - Don't Even Go There (they might be uncommon these days, but sometimes there's a good reason for that)\u003cbr\u003e\n                    - Word Piracy (expressions borrowed from other languages - with varying degrees of wisdom)\u003cbr\u003e\n                    - Myths, Legends and Gods (inspired by heroes and deities of cultures now lost to the past)\u003cbr\u003e\n                    - The Devil's Own (don't tempt fate by calling your boat Invincible, as the Royal Navy did each time the last one sank\/exploded - plus other superstition-violating names)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                      \u003cp\u003eWith fascinating history, a fair bit of psychology and a lot of humour, this is the essential guide for all would-be boat owners, and anyone buying a gift for Dad for Father's Day or Christmas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Adlard Coles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42973102145702,"sku":"9781472944375","price":12.9,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0443\/8471\/4918\/products\/9781472944375_1.jpg?v=1656046357","url":"https:\/\/bookxcess.myshopify.com\/products\/yacht-were-you-thinking","provider":"Staging Site ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
