    Voted for my own suggestion, natch.
    athelind
    I also voted for Cygnus, mostly because I'm a Rush fan. Gotta add the "X-1" to the name, though.

    Leviathan was the name of an oil tanker that ran over a tiny sailboat in a novel I read back in high school. It's got Bad Ship Name Karma for me, like Titanic or Poseidon.

    Much prefer Cygnus, though Makini is a close second. Seems a much more fitting name for a boat than the others.

    "Kraken Up?" The trouble with joke names is that the joke will get old long before you get rid of the boat. :)
