Re: Dinghy Name?
Jdazy is closest so the ten points goes there.
'Iceberg' was the answer we were looking for.

Re: Dinghy Name?
I once saw an old photo of Nefertiti, the 1962 America's Cup contender designed by Ted Hood and a gorgeously elegant looking boat, from the stern. Parked right next to her was her fat, stout motor tender, named "King Tut".
Don't recall where I saw it, but Googling for it turns up nothing. It was a great photo.

Re: Dinghy Name?
I just sold my Livingston 8 footer. I purchased it off a guy that had a power boat. The name of the dinghy was crumb. Name of the power boat?

Re: Dinghy Name?
Our boat's name is MISTRESS. Would the Cruisersforum braintrust like to suggest a name for the dinghy?

Re: Dinghy Name?
My Zodiac 275 rib seems to like "Dingo". I call "come Dingo" and it happens.
Go figure.
