In case you were interested.

Hey, I inherited the name! She has "history" and I can't change it! I'm reefed down off Point Bonita, here in the SF Bay Area.

I would say Ankle Biter is a great name no need to change it at all.

That's my Navik, which I swear by, though Plastimo seems to have stopped manufacturing them. The vane has a name....it's...of course, "Vanessa". She steers for hours without complaining, doesn't drink any of the skippers beer, and doesn't care if it's cold and wet!

Quite right too. We have a Sailomat and the vane is called James after Captain James Cook who charted many of the Pacific Islands and New Zealand.
