Rite the class rules state that my boat MUST have a name. Its a Pearce 6 International Moth, white with grey mesh trampolining and grey non slip. All spars are carbon as well as foils and are clear coated so they are black, the rack tubes are black also. Sail number GBR 3978. Its not a tiger moth design so calling it tiger is out of the picture. Names so far include: Freak so if you can think of anything original and apt then put it down thanks ------------- http://www.noblemarine.co.uk/home.php3?affid=561 - Competitive Boat Insurance From Noble Marine FOR SALE: I14 2 Masts 2 poles 3 Booms, Foils Kites/Mains/Jibs too many to list. |

| I take it its not a foiler, and I guess its as slim on the waterline as all the others so there's "Cutting Edge", or "Leading Edge", or with a bit of a pun on "noble" meaning "fine" you could have "Fine Edge". |

I would call it something completely random and with no connected meaning. Like - Terrance.

A man went to the doctors saying "you've got to help me I think I'm a moth." "Well I can't help you" said the doctor, "you need to go and see a shrink, what made you come into my surgery",
"well the light was on" so how about 'into the light' -------------

these are all anagrams of 'chris noble international moth' BELCH SHIRT MOON, BELCH sh*t MORON, ANNIHILATE ROOM TNT, some other names i have thought of are: Aquabums, Barely A Wake, Crewless, Fah Get A Boat It, Fog Ducker, To Sea Oar Knot to Sea, Snap Shackle & Pop, Rock & Roll. im sorry for the cheeseyness and rubbishness of those names ------------- Needs to sail more... |

Date Posted: 17 Feb 05 at 3:55pm
| What names has it had in the past? Worth asking... If there's a previous name of the boat you like just revert to it. Especially as sometimes boat names get changed but everyone refers to the boat as its old name anyway. |

What are you doing playing the piano in orchestra?? Or is it a piano concerto you're doing? |

If sailorgirl plays the piano and finds herself in the middle (well, on the side, really) of an orchestra, she probably knows what she's doing there! I do agree that most classical orchestras don't always include a piano, but the New York Philharmonic has 2 appointed pianists!!
