I love it, The Kobayashe Maru was a vessel that tested the skills of her captain, sound rather fitting. And if your name is James, Jim, or Tiberius.. well then, you don't believe in "no win" scenarios do you?
uh oh, my geeky is showing

Live long and prosper,

In the year we've owned her, Skinny Dippin' has held up pretty well. While it does fail one or two of the tests posted earlier, it's possibly the most photographed transom in our marina. It is pretty self-explanatory and makes a lot of people smile.

Now, to rebel heart, I can certainly understand where you are coming from. The previous name of our boat was Southern Comfort. They DID NOT name it after the alcohol, but we felt obligated to change it BECAUSE of the baggage that name would carry.

Anarchy is a good name. You shouldn't have a problem with that.
