I'm calling my boat "George" (if I ever build it ) . So I claim that name.

Manatee is slow and Graceful, also similar in shape.
Manatee's also have a great nature.

"A
knot or less" and "Manatee" both suggest
sluggishness to me, but I think this little
boat will move.
My wife is suggesting
"Shackleton" since I really
like
the fellow and he was a relative. So that one's in
the lead, but I'm still pondering it. If
she were a
one-person, I would name her
"Batchelors Delight"
after a
pirate ship that I think had the best name of all
time. Yesterday I did something I hadn't
done in a
long time, and actually looked at
a list of baby names. This
is fun.

Hi
Alec,
How about "The
Equalizer" or "A knot or
less".
