So tell us what your boat's name is, and why you named it that.

Fresh Breezes- Doug King

Actually, Doug, that's a good launch for a new thread....

We named our boat "Chanteuse" because, of course, she's French and
needed a French name, but we also wanted to incorporate something
personal, as we have with all our boats. After test sailing her, we
noticed that she sings when she's zipping along, plus the connection
with my then avocation of singing. Hence "Chanteuse": female singer.


The last two boats:

CYGNUS - constellation, Swan, we bought the boat with that name and
refused to anger the gods by changing the name, having no trust in the
half dozen or so name changing rituals that we happened upon.

FAUX PAS - more a testimony to our behaviour while we owned it, not
the boats general demeanor. We did change that boats name from
WHIRLAWAY and I'm positive we angered the gods in the process.
