Is Pond Skater dignified enough (as in the bug)? Your boat reminds me of those little bugs speeding around a pond or creek.<br /><br />Great job building your boat! It turned out very sweet!

Rudderman, if this is a "re-name", you should check out this link. No sense in irritating Neptune or Poseidon...<br /> 'Re-naming Your Boat' Ceremony <br /><br />Good Luck with her!

Dignified is in the mind of the owner. Everyone else's suggestions may be dignified to them, but not to you.<br /><br />Probably best if you name the boat without any outside input!<br /><br />Still ... dragonly ... reality ... wedge ... waterbird ... littlezip ... cocoon ... cockleshell ... ladybird ... etc. etc.<br /><br />Just don't forget to tell us.

What's your favourite 50s song David? Or film, filmstar (female of course), character in a book etc...

Bet it's fast! Nice work. How about Slingshot? Or maybe Water Skeet (after that fast little bug that walks on top of the water). Everything else I came up with is far from dignified. <br /><br />I'm sure it will come to you when you're driving it!

Thanks for all the ideas!<br /><br />I'm thinking of perhaps "Great Escape" after my favourite film. Building and using this boat is just that! A great escape from normal life!

Very nice. How about my dad's favorite candy... called the Maple Nut Goodie? You used some Maple, right?<br /><br />I built a guitar out of wood--that is very impressive what you've done.

Congrats on the great looking boat. How about "Toothpick," "Hard Wood," or "Bonsai"<br /><br />SS
