I've named all our sailboats SPARTINA (there have been 3 Spartina's so far - but I have never numbered them I, II, III) - after a boat in a book by the same name by John Casey. The book is set in southern RI - and long story short - the main character builds this boat that is very strong and withstands a horrific storm. Much like the actual Spartina ( a sea grass) that's also pretty hardy stuff and able to grow in pretty unlikely spots.

I haven't come up with a name for the power boat yet...I just call it "the Scout"
