Here is another bad story - I want to illustrate the danger of not naming
your boat...

My good friend Boyd had a boat that went a whole season with no name.  My
wife and I threw a New Years eve party (we were carefree mortgageless and
childless then) during which the lack of a name came up.   I declared that
if Boyd did not name his boat by midnight we (the party goers) would name it
for him.   12 came and he had no name (he was already a little "distracted"
by 11) so we did a round of suggestions and came up with "Culvert" as in
sewer culvert.

He never acknowledged Culvert was his boat's name but it appeared as such in
the Club race register.  He got even with me.
