Sure Jon,

How's about "Xarifa"? This was the Research Yacht of Hans and Lotte Hass
which plied the seas in the 50's until (I think) 1960 when Hans sold it
to do other things (which subsequently proved to be equally significant
but that's another story). Lotte was entirely unimpressed at the time.

I'm biased, Lotte also taught me to dive in, I think, 1957 ... but its a
beautiful name anyway (no idea of what it means) and it remembers two of
THE most significant divers that may ever grace the world's stage.

Cheers,

Christian
