HELP NAME MY BOAT

Huzzah! I have a little sailboat! Now I need to name it. It's blue, wood, 14 ft, ancient, it surprisingly excellent condition, and I traded a study for a painting. It is both homely and grand, based on a LIDO 14, with actual canvas sails, and has two, count 'em, daggerboards which look exactly like the giant fake knives magicians with moustaches use to slice women in two. It spent time in the Bay, actually, before it moved here.

1. Indefatigable
2. Pookie
3. Meat Product (Water Added )

[A few ideas:

- Speedy (Lord Cochrane's brig that took the Spanish frigate El Gamo under the command of Russell Crowe)
- Omnivorous
- The Office ("tell the Dean I'll be at The Office")
- Annihilationator
- Pontificationist
- Insouciant (my favorite of these)
- Agamemnon (Nelson's first command)
- Defiant
- Badger (a good name for a tough boat, also a Nelson command)
- Constitution (no one else honors it, why not you?)

- MF ]

[ Huzzah, indeed! The other suggestions leave scant room for a topper.
- The Penetrator
- Prussian Blue
- Trixie
- Cockboat!

-CCPC ]

[ - Defatigable
- Napoleon Solo
and so obvious...Huzzah!. I mean, name the boat Huzzah. SE]
