What would you rename the Yacht-Master?

I think it's somewhat commonly accepted that the name Yacht-Master is off putting to a portion of watch enthusiasts.

If you were given the chance, what would you have named it?

I know it's lame to ask this question without having my own submission, but I have to keep thinking. Anyone got one? And, for arguments sake, I'm only considering the Y-M1 right now, not the Y-M2, which is a different beast entirely.

I really like Yacht-Master for the watch; actually think it's a perfect name.

You specifically didn't ask, but they really missed the boat on naming the Yacht-Master II. It's so different that they should have given it its own name & called it the Regatta-Master.

The problem is that "Yacht-Master" sounds much better than all of the below.

"Supermariner."

or, the slightly more tongue-in-cheek but accurate:

"Waitlist-Dweller."
