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.
