I actually toyed with the idea of naming my cat "Wet Pussy", but I always got a little squeamish when they annouced the scores in the bar after the race.
I thought about naming mine "My Boyfriend" I all ready love it. I am excited to ride it. It would always be there for me. And if it fell down I would pick it back up. And when I went sailing I could say I am taking 'my boyfriend' out. See...perfect. Except boats are supposed to be feminine and “My Girlfriend” just doesn’t work for me. Not that there would be anything wrong with that… So, I will just have to keep thinking about it.
Exeter,Coral Sea,Wasp,Victory,Monitor,Beagle,Swordfish and Enterprise are'nt to feminine . "Kitty Gal Pal" might work!

Well, my class allows you to pick your own sail number (provided noone else is using it), so I chose "42" and was going to call my boat "Don't Panic". Then I saw some others with that name already and switched to "Mostly Harmless". But then Douglass Adams used that as the title of his last Hitchhiker's Guide book (which was totally lame), so I pretty much left my boat unchristened.
If I get another Isotope, I'll probably go for sail number 235 (after uranuim 235). Then I'd call the boat an "Unstable Isotope". Maybe I could even get a "Smilin' Joe Fission" graphic for it.

I dont think boats have to be feminine ... personally I view all my boats as males.
My 1974 Hobie 14 had a red, white and blue sail, similar stripes on the hull, and was named Bi-Cat for the Bicentennial. Our 1977 Hobie 16 and 1979 Hobie 18 were both named Tom-Cat for my son, Tom and my initials. (Tom was the skipper on both).
No name on Tom's H-17 as it is the "Stars and Stripes" model. My H-17 is just Hobie 17, as they insisted on having a name on the Annual Multihull Trophy, for the Friday night Anthony's Series.

My A cat gets to hibernate in a barn for almost 6 months of the year. this winter has been particulary cold and people have only just stopped walking on the lake where I usually sail. I ordered a new boat last December and went to fetch it about two weeks ago. After too long a winter and some serious withdrawal symptoms the boat got called "Who let the CATS out?"
I always liked the name Nautilus, mainly because it is a perfect representation of the Divine Proportion (Fibonacci Sequence) and since im an architecture student Im kinda into those things hehehe. It is a proportion of "beauty" found in nature. For example, the proportion found in the nautilus is also found in the human body. As an example the hand and forearm has this proportion, its basically found everywhere in nature and became a guiding factor in classical architecture.
The problem I have with its name is its way too cliche.
