Seems that Carver Yacht Company (one of the largest mass-pro powerboat
builders) has offered a Carver "Voyager" since about 1977, and continues to
offer a version of the vessel today. Carver got a bug up its butt to threaten
Voyager Yachts with a suit for trademark violation.

"Apex" inflatables was "Calypso" inflatables until Cousteau threatened
to sue them. Owner changed the name rather than spend a lot of money
on lawyers. He was just starting out then - about 1993 or so. I
bought one of his frst dinks, still has the "Calypso" name on it.
