New Vessel for the Fleet

Sailors, get ready to high-side this summer. Just purchased : a stunning 1998 Melges X-boat for the Chippewa sailing fleet. This is a beautiful boat that was used mainly for racing. It will certainly be ready for the regatta this summer at camp if any of you skippers are up to the task.

Before it can set sail on Cass Lake, however, we'll need a name. Any ideas?

Following the Beluga theme, what about the Orca?

This is really a fast looking boat. (CJ sent me a picture. Mike, do you want me to send it to you so that you can post it.)
What a great addition to our fleet.

Some more name suggestions:

Star Island related
Stargazer
Star Catcher
Star Chaser
Wanderin' Star

Eagle related
Sea Eagle
Flying Eagle
Eagle's wings

Just be cause it is an aggressive racing name
Pirate's Revenge
