I went with "Stress Free". Clears my head every time out.

"Stress Free"

Thank you for all your imaginative suggestions for naming our cat; we appreciate your help. Alas, we have not selected one yet, but have thought of DUET, KITTY, ZIPPY, KATZ (cat in German), and WINGS. In the meantime, we enjoy passing almost all of the monohulls on Sarasota Bay, including the fast Flying Scots. Only the E-Scows seem to keep up with us. So our little blue and white Prindle 16 is a sweet cat, though still nameless.



Regards,

Andrew

I like a friend of mine's Supercat 17 - "Aquaholic."

How about.



"Best Pussy I Ever Had"



Did I say that? Sorry.

First cat was "Raison d'etre"

Looking myself for name of next one

"The other woman" is favorite at present - but would ideally like something with a medical flavor - yellow sails so jaundiced turn???

When a friend of mine bought a Dart18 off a female owner - it came ready named as "Itchy Pussy".



Perhaps a good name for a cat that is raced hard is catterbatter - my Scots wife tells me it's slang for acting aggressively...

Had a little Hobie once called Small Change. Had a "stink"boat called FuLinYuII.

Whatever you decide to call 'er, I just wish you fun sailing.

I gotta be more careful of what I post! who knew my little stupid blurb would wind up in print??!

I'm giving my H16 the name "Bad Catatude".

good luck!

Thank you for all your suggestions, many of them very clever and some truly amusing. No wonder some of your responses have made it into the CATAMARAN SAILOR magazine. The final, final name we have arrived at is PURRARI, combining a catlike behavior with the speed of a Ferrari. So the tempest in a teapot is probably over -- and it has been great fun.



Best wishes,

Andrew and Sue

Excellent choice!

Thanks, Jake.

Maybe a little late but I just saw : LOCOMOCEAN on a stern of a mono.



I just wanted to share this with you all.

I have decided to name my recently acquired P16 "Siaitei".



That's pronounced - C - A - T

A friend of mine suggested I call my A Cat "Girls on Trampoliones" after watching my 2 year old bounce around on the tramp of my boat.

My cat is named Chauvinist and Son. With a large pig w/a stogie and a little pig for my son. It also has oink oink around it.

I Have a 6.0 now and it will be named Chauvinist.

My old Hobvie 16 (sail # 4032, so it was an OLD one) I named "Beach Bum" since I left it on the causeway all the time. My G-Cat 5.7M I've named "Nerito" which is Latin for "Sea Nymph" which is a mermaid. I've got the graphics all set up on the computer, just have to take them to the shop and have them done in vinyl to put on the boat after painting it.



I almost named it "Chester the Cat" after the cat in Alice in Wonderland...



My friend's P18-2 has a name for each hull. One is "Sex Sea" and the other "Teddy Time".

Dredgeing up the old topic....

I know that somewhere out there in cyberspace there's a fairly comprehensive list of boat names. can anyone link me to it?

BoatU.S. has a list of 4,490 boat names. Go to BoatUS.com and do a search for the topic "Boat names."

We had a couple of H-18s show up at a regatta. They were double stacked and the top one was BLOW ME, and the bottom one was BLOW ME TOO!
