What's in a name

She'll be named Capella.  

She's the eye of the charioteer constellation.  If not Capella, then surely a named diamond in the sky.   Arcturus, Antares, Altair...  

Of course there are a million constellation names too, and that would be fine, if she were a sea going vessel.  But this boat is made for the river.  

Designed by Lonnie Hutson she is sculpted by the confluence of the technical waters of the Salmon and the big rides of the Colorado.  

This October the youngest of the Hutson Dory Lineage will be born to follow in the footsteps of Rastaban, Myra, Galina...

  2. Been dreaming about it for 5 years now. Been actually getting down to the nitty gritty of it this spring. The design is set -just can't decide on the color :)
