Hi!
Why are boat names most of times feminine or general but hardly ever
they have a masculin name?
Ancient tradition.
Women aboard was also considered to bring bad luck.
Same with bananas and umbrellas today.
Is a T-Top considered an umbrella?
No, that's a rod holder and a place to mount outriggers and your
antenna. The colored canvas is there to compliment the colors on your hull.
