Before Wordsmith discounts my entry, I submit some supporting documents to strengthen my serious proposal to name the new CLC addition the "Molly Kool" Dory. As North America's first female sea captain and only the second worldwide, Molly Kool commanded her father's homebuilt vessel the Jean K pictured below - imagine sanding that project!. The link provides some more details about her life at sea. Molly's life and adventures blurred our borders - born to a Dutch sea captain and his wife and raised in Canada; sailing the Maritimes and the northeast coast of the U.S.; settling down and recently passing in Bangor, Maine.
Looking for some support from all those lady builders out there!

NY Times posted her obituary last week. They had the lifejacket story slightly different:
'Ms. Kool was nothing if not pragmatic. On one widely reported occasion, the Jean K collided with another ship in a dense fog and sent her hurtling overboard, where she risked being sucked under by the ship’s propeller. A piece of timber floated by and she grabbed it, as the ship’s passengers hurled life preservers down at her. “I’m already floating,” Ms. Kool hollered up at them. “Stop throwing useless stuff at me and send a boat!”'

I can understand the problem with "Sou'wester" -- the resemblence to the Hinckley is just too strong.
So go with Nor'easter." A good and approrpiate name, and those of us who want a Chesapeake-related name can think you're referring the the little port town at the top of the Bay. ;-)
Yeah. Don't recall a lot of dories there, though. Mostly, the best sub sandwiches in the world at a little dive called Stewart's in "downtown" Northeast. And slathering a lot of anti-fouling paint, at McDaniels' Marina in off-season. Oh, and the softshell crab sandwiches at sunset at the old NERYC, after a long weekend on the water...and stealing great slabs of phosphorus for our youthful ordnance experiments from old barrels sitting outside the sparkler factory near the yacht club, and canoe-camping on Turkey Point and the on the blackberry-lined banks of the Susquehanna, or was it the Sassafras...
I digress. This thread is supposed to be about boat names.
