I was merely listing all the classes which had a nature-related name.

All the 'White Boats' on the Broads were traditionally named after butterflies I believe.

 

Bull?  Four legs, horns and an unhealthy attraction to anything red?  Doesn't sound like an insect or bird to me but no doubt someone will enlighten me..

To start... The RS600 FF and Musto Skiff never have nay outlandish designs and patterns, so how about badger stripes on the bow.... you'd get a 600 that truly was the flying badger, and a Musto Performance Badger

(yes i am slightly insane )

What about Aardvark?
