"Liquid Liability"  -- as opposed to a "Liquid Asset"???
"The Money Pit"     -- no explanation needed, surely...
"Costs & Costs"     -- isn't that what C&C stands for?
"Wind Bag"          -- a takeoff on WindSong,WindShip,WindJammer,etcetera...
"Current Asset"     -- or a current liability, if you're an accountant
"Slow Motion"       -- depending on how the boat performs :)
 On a more serious tack: "Neptune Explorer", from a passage in Joshua Slocums 
tome -- "I had met Neptune in his wrath, but he found that I had not treated 
him with contempt, and so he suffered me to go on and explore"...
 It's sort of interesting how people name things (boats, bbs's, 
whatever)...let us know what you decide on, and how ya' came up with it :-)
