Well, since it's white, you could paint some black patches and call her


"HO LEE COW"

:D

BTW
Mine stands for "Remember to live"

I tell everyone who asks "why Nice Aft" that it's because of the 50HP Honda on it. The truth be told is I named it for the Admiral :D

A name is just too personal for me to suggest. I can however give you a list of mine. We owned The Symphony, originally owned by Yasha Heifetz, a famous violinist. We had The Titanic, The Disgraceful, Davies Dinghy, Deckadance (1,2 & 3) and now my tribute to Popeye, The Yamphibian. I know some dislike creative misspellings, but I am rather fond of the reference to The Sailor Man and the fact that this boat comes stock with wheels. One criticism I must agree with though, your name should be easily understood through the static on your radio.

Thanks, Frank! I'm sure Jana will appreciate your kind words!

I'll also note that our little Harpoon sailboat once had the name of "Sea Saw", which frankly I hated, so I renamed it "Bobby's Boys", for my father, with whom I sailed her for many years. I was able to tell him about the renaming in his honor before he died last year, and he was very pleased. If there ever was any ill fortune from the renaming of a vessel, I'm certain that Good King Neptune will forgive us in this instance and grant her fair winds and calm seas for many years to come.

I think "Bald Baby" would be a good name for a boat...or maybe a rock band.

I always thought that title was reserved for Hunters, after all they are the dock queens of the marinas. :D

Now, I can recall a London song called 'Sweet Thames flow gently", how about 'Sweet Thames'.
I always thought that a great name for a fiberglass sail boat would be
"The Tupperware Tub"!
