I think there is at least one person who might be able to settle this one. Buck, Byook, Book? What should we call our red danish engine?

... and I thought you were totally protanopic - a problem apocryphally associated with excessive self amusement.

According to an old forum post on Sailboatowners.com, the company say it's pronounced Boo-k; like Book with long o's, although no doubt a Danish speaker will be along soon to contradict me!

My dear Claymore, thankyou. That is what I have been saying for years. We have a prospective third partner in the boat who insists on 'buk' as in a male deer. It could be a deal breaker.

I though Bukh was pronounced ' crap engine' or am I thinking of Volvo?

Para sometimes thinks of himself as a Buck. He also sounds like he's rutting most mornings.

I think you must be thinking of Volvo.

Bukh is pronounced "durable and dependable"
