Hi Rick, Congratulations on buying an M15 and learning to sail. With each succeeding sail it just gets easier and easier, as you learn how to control it. That's half the fun! As for a name... Remember that you have to apply the lettering, or do the layout and painting. My philosophy has been keep it short and simple. You don't want to call a boat "Octogenarian" or "Turboencambulator", it may be cute but is much to laborious to apply, and names that long require at least a 40 footer so that you have enough space on the transom. Of course calling it "IT" has the advantage of brevity, but it lacks originality. Something in the in the 5 to 7 letter range is what I stick with, but then, I'm lazy and not too good a lettering man. Good luck and enjoy the new toy. Connie Benneck ex owner of M15 LEPPO
Connie, Have you painted names or other graphics on a boat ? If so could you share the procedure with us.
