lol harsh BNS... but true. the other thing about boats being female is they used to have all male crews and they used to call the boat she, in memory of the women at home. |

"Experienced" and "Men" are two words that never go together... It's a well-known fact that men never learn |

wehad a tea towel listing reasons why ships (and boats) are female, when going into port they always head for the buoys (boys), they need an experienced man at the helm, without whom they are uncontrolable.. there were others but i cant remember them all.

Nasty foreign habit! If you visit I will make you a nice cup of tea, and teach you to live in a civilised manor
 I had a queue of German windsurfers at my van every day in Spain, waiting for their tea!

i always used "it" till one of the british 14 sailors looked at me in
astonish and told ,me that boats are "female". i asked him why and his
answer was: Well i dunno. it´s just like that.

ooh now we're talking about the gender shift in English grammar... when do they use IT and when it becomes SHE??? Got to ask the natives.... At home, the answer will be (shrug) "Well, I dunno. Just is like that..."
