Rupert's Wispa comment in another thread reminded me I need a name for my new Lightning (number 418). Cadbury Purple Hull and silver grey top. Chocoholic? Or some fancy clever name involving a pun or suchlike on "Lightning"? I love "High Potential" but it is already taken! Draft ideas: Tawhirimatea (goddess of lightning) 1.21 GW (the power needed by the Flux Capacitor to travel through time) Surging ahead Undercurrent of (?!)terror Spark of inspiration Sparky Positive Energy/Attitude Ideas welcomed, plus I'd like to hear of people who have cool names for their boats! ------------- Lightning 418 "Octarine" |

Unless of course it actually is.. and has the word Cool written down the side, which probably isn't cool, but nevertheless it would be what the boat was called..  ------------- https://www.corekite.co.uk/snow-accessories-11-c.asp" rel="nofollow - Snow Equipment Deals https://www.corekite.co.uk" rel="nofollow - New Core Kite website |

My user name is what we renamed my Flying Fifteen after it got T-boned by a port tacker and we sailed it around with the hole covered in lite-ply and duct-tape for the rest of the season! It was later suggested that we should have been more subtle and dedicated it more poignantly to the memory of its designer: "Uffa Fox Ache"

I always like the name of a Dart down at Restronguet, Object D'art. Has to be said with a French accent, of course! Unlike Restronguet. ------------- Firefly 2324, Puffin 229, Minisail 3446 Mirror 70686 |

Is that a boat name or a (rather surprising) confession?
