<p>I loved the former name though, Sea Feather, with 4 peacock feathers on the bow , but after a short research I realized that for some cultures , peacock feathers bring bad luck. the fact is that the 2 previous owners were dreaming about taking her to the tropics were she belongs but they could not realize their dream....I am not superstitious at all, but just in case I changed it. :-)</p>

<p>A friend painted on the name of the first boat and due to the font style it looked like Foofish Pleasure. That became the unofficial name. Next boat which I would refer to as a Hobie cat on steroids, 36ft all tramp 1st generation racing cat, it was named Lokoino from a Polynesian dictionary loosely meaning bad ass. The 3rd boat was prenamed Pharmour and it was sold before I could change the name to piece of crap. The last boat name Far From Turlte came from a very beautiful Bob James…</p>

I like the idea of having a theme song for the journey and will probably try to name the Tangaroa with a musical tilt.

<p>Our Tiki 38 was born (built) in Darwin on the Arafura sea. There is a strong history, predating white man's "discovery" and colonisation of Australia, of contact between the Makassar, Sulawesi seafarers and Northern Australian Aboriginal people (in particular, Yolngu in north east Arnhem Land) - our boat's name Lipa Lipa is one of the words that crossed the Arafura sea from Makassarese language to Yolngu Matha, the language of north-east Arnhem.

When we named her, we still did not know that we would in the future live in Makassar, so it seemed the name (and our last five years here) was pre-destined. Lipa Lipa means "dugout canoe" in both languages</p>
