Or leggario, which means 'lightly', although the motorcycle of that name was not exactly studly. I had one as a kid, a 50cc Italian bike sold under the Harley name. Collector's item these days, though. How about Crab Canon? That's a canon with one voice in retrograde. Might be a better name for a proa, though. Ostinato? Continuo? Scherzo? Cappricio? Espressivo? Pianissimo? Put a picture of a bottle of rum with a whip on her stern and name her Dominant Fifth? No, maybe not... Cadenza, A capella, those might work. Rubato? A portamento is sort of a blue-note for classical types, and it sounds nautical. Good luck naming her!
