We have a bit fo a fleet besides the big(is) boat. Small boat names are somewhat more whimsical.
We have have a 100 year old Huon Pine sailing dinghy called FRAPP! (The really bad sound it makes if you come in to dock too hard and happen to know how much a plank of Huon Pine is worth).
We have an inlfatable tender that was happily nameless until our nearly two year old son got to go for a ride in it. He walked up to wear it was sitting on the grass, touched the bow and proclaimed "DUCK!"...Nice to know he already has the lingo down pat. So Duck it is. (When strapped to the back of Fortis we end up with Brave Duck...which my wife finds amusing and appropriate)
We have a canoe...Named Gnu
And a little while ago I bought my wife her own Herron sailing dinghy, which will be raced in various degrees of seriousness....It was promptly
dubbed A'GNOTHER'GNU (Because watching usually elderly and very proper club commadores stumble on that during trophy presentation nights would be a good inspiration to win the trophies).
