"Martin Litton started that tradition in the early 1970s. At the time he was personally involved in many of the environmental battles from which he took the names. It was a heartfelt, personal matter in most cases, and not any sort of marketing ploy.…"

I wanted to do something to personalize my boat. (I had bought it used, simply because It was the right price. I had restored the interior, but I still wanted to add something just for the fun of it.) I came up with the idea of inlaying an animal into the bow.
