As long as we are casting about for names, I was/am considering
"Surprise." I read about U.S.S. Surprise in an article about the Tacoma class U.S. Navy vessels and liked the name. This was many many years before before I had seen or read the fine Patrick O'Brian novels. Some will surely comment on a lack of originality, but I have come to the conclusion that if I like the name, that's all that really matters. Perhaps its it is a succinct homily on the required ability needed to make impromptu boat repairs. Blue skies, John |

I hate to confuse you with semantics, but you might want to look up the precise meaning of "symbiosis". Does not apply. I thought "this end up" was a good suggestion for a boat that needs awareness of how much ballast is where at any given point in time. (Depending on your sense of humor, sure not if you are superstitious.) If you intend to support your statements on the Ocean Crossing capabilities of the McGregor, I would suggest "Vera". (Latin for "True".) True Sailboat, True motorboat, true Blue Water Sailer, you say. Also seen in literature as a boats name, check it out.

People who give a boat a joke name end up being a joke themselves. I want my boat to have a respectful name. I think either of these two names fit a Mac26X and show respect too. I just wrote a post that smacked down Bobsprit. Ever notice the stupid sounding names he puts on his boats? Circus side show stuff. Stuff that don't make a lick of sense. Stuff that if he had to say it on the VHF to get pulled off when he ran aground that would embarrass him to death. Well, maybe not him but somebody with a brain for sure would be embarrassed all the way. Cheers, Ed Gordon |
