I need a name for my soon-to-be-started 12' sailboat. I'd prefer to have something both clever and trans-related, but non-obvious. Something like the button I wear that says 'Neither'. It makes the viewer think, and then chuckle when it dawns on them.
Found a source of Interlux Toplac paint that includes a color called 'Bounty' that seems like it has a purple cast to it. I'll get a quart or it, plus a quart of lauderdale blue, plus 2 quarts of Mediterranean white. White for cockpits, blue for decks and purple for hulls, for all three boats. That covers 2 of the three bi-flag colors, omitting pink. Can't find pink in marine paint and not sure I want a pink boat anyway. Perhaps I'll use hot pink paint when I put vessel names on the transoms (transi?)
