Carina's Specifications
Bacio, our tender, is an 80% scale version of the nesting dinghy "Chameleon", designed by Danny Greene of Bermuda. She was built in our garage of [primarily] 4 mm okoumé plywood using epoxy and the stitch-and-glue method. Bacio is propelled by oars and a 3.3 Mercury outboard. Bacio (pronounced Baah Chee Oh) means "kiss" in Italian.
Carina is an adjective that means "beautiful" in Italian (if you want the polite translation). A young woman from Milan told that used as a noun, for a "sweetheart", that it means the woman is, perhaps, "hot".
Carina is also a constellation of the "Argo Navis" group in the southern hemisphere. In this context, Carina means "keel". The constellation Carina includes the navigational star, Canopus. For constellation information, click here.
