Thanks JW it started life in Skye and has moved south a bit first Cumbria and now the Solent . I will have to change the name as SOLAN will be a bit confusing talking to Solent CG. Any suggestions welcome would like to keep the hunting dog theme if possible .

That'll be appropriate cos a Solan or Solan Goose is a gannet.

Luckily there is a way through this. It involves a ceremony of removing all traces of the previous name, consigning the old name to the deep on a sacrificial item and drinking copious amounts of grog, while sharing some to each of the 4 winds. Many variations on a theme, here is one

The drinking bit is the most important. (After the days outing of course!)

I always wondered about that.. Infact when I named my existing boat ( which is a mark II) of the first, the supplier ran out of the small number two, and I wouldnt allow it to go on the water with the same name as the last so I pencilled in a 2 beside the name just in case
