Elias Ross: ... I know it is a tradition for large ships to be named, but I know that some owners of dingies name their craft. I haven't heard about or seen a named kayak, but I know there are people who are especially fond of their own boat. ... Ralph Hoehn: It used to be common practice for all owners of (folding!) kayaks to name their boats, a tradition that goes back to the earliest days of the sport of (folder) paddling and beyond that -- Rob Roy to wit!
