El barco El coche/auto/carro (the car) Although there is: La nave La camioneta (the van) --> This one is a feminine. "El mar" and "la mar" are both possible because it's a substantive that can be either feminine or masculine. A few years ago, a German friend of mine visited Mexico. When we were in a restaurant, she went to the restroom and came back very ashamed because she had walked into men's toilet. Most doors have a label, but these ones only had a Sun and a Moon. She was confused because gender for both are the opposite in German and in Spanish. About Elaina's comment: I think that when it comes about cars, Spanish-speaking men identify themselves with the motor-power and the looks of the car, so it's more "me" than "my girlfriend". And I guess it's something similar to boat crews.
