Love it.

That does it...no matter how difficult to come up with a name for the boat replacing Aquahound, it will NOT go to a public - or even a ribnet vote

PS the name "Ribby McRibface" has been ruled out even before the children suggested it!

I've mentioned this before, a local bloke I knew when younger had a nice Wayfarer sailing dinghy which was named 'Bastardface'. It was properly sign written on each side.

He was a bit of a non-conformist.
