Hi Neil,
We've called ours 'StratoSaurus' as its a bit of a monster (its also the name of the Fender Stratocaster electric guitar web site) but didn't realise there was a potential list of names.
Perhaps owners could send there respective names to the site along with their sail numbers to avoid further duplication.
Apologies if anyone else has used the name 'StatoSaurus' but we're stuck with it now.
Any one out there in S.E. Wales with a Stratos?? We sail at Llandegfedd Reservoir.
Neil, Gill and Clare.

Hi,
Mine is called Snapper because it's red.
A bit corny I know but I like it!
We sail out of the Largs on the Clyde, west coast of Scotland. First sail of the season tomorrow, F5 forecast, could be interesting!
Cheers
Mark

I've just finished sticking on the graphics for my boat name 'Ketchup' (my sail number is 568 and it's a centreboard version, hence the red theme).
Other red-themed names for Stratos which I have come across previously are: Simply Red, Red Devil, Red Shift, Red Kite; 'Stratos' themed known names are: Stratosfear, Skywalker, Stratovarios, Stratospheric and Stratocaster.
I think the Class Association register is probably your best bet.

We are 'Red Mist' (something to do with the helm when racing apparently)
