In conclusion, women DO have a place on a boat. Jus not the old fat

Is this why your Internet address uses the name Freya, a major goddess
in Norse Paganism?

Hello Bankok Bruce:

Actually, its the name the boat maker named them. But ya, the designer
was named Halvorson so the Freya reference. When I went boat shoping I
new the qualities I wanted and the broker said, well kid sounds like
you need a Freya. the Ingrids and West Sails seemed a bit pudggy so I
bought the Freya.

As In Norse mythology, Freya is a goddess of love and fertility, and
the most beautiful and propitious of the goddesses, the patron goddess
of crops and birth and the symbol of sensuality and was called upon in
matters of love it sounds like an ideal name for a boat.

Particularly for those who are prone to carry young things wearing
string bikinis on the foredeck. At least until your Missus catches you
:-)
