Kiteroa 8 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Guys, My partner Nina and I, with a huge amount of help from our various Seagull racing friends, (including a few who frequent this forum) have spent the last couple of years working on a documentary centring around the build up to the 30th Great Annual Waikato Seagull Regatta. Nina is well down the track on the editing process and we are starting to do the music, but we also need to start thinking about a name. So far we have things like: Blokes of a Feather Flocking of the Gulls The Waikato Flyers Waikato or Broke The Back River Racers Blokes, Boats & Birds Ideally the name will touch on the theme of the film which is the fantastic Seagull outboard and the brave men who use them. The film follows 5 seasoned seagull racers and a first time team in their build up to the 30th anniversary of the Waikato race. There are winners, losers, broken boats, sinkings and triumphs along the way. The film is a tribute to grass roots boat building, the kiwi way and a quirky little engine that claims to be 'The best outboard motor in the world' Anyone care to throw in their 5 cents? Play on words welcome! A bottle of rum and an invite to the cast and crew screening to the originator of the name that gets used. Thanks Adrian. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brendon 0 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Buoys and Gulls Or the other way round, Gulls and Buoys. Reminds me of something I heard somewhere, "A lot of old mariners swear by their seagulls, but to the casual observer it would appear that they are swearing at them" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kiteroa 8 Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 Some of the others put forward at the bar last night: 2 strokes to freedom Down the creek without a paddle. A long way down - the tale of man vs river. Man vs Gull A tale of blokes, boats and birds. There must be an easier way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 2 strokes to freedom Probably best to keep that one for the later at night Directors cut That 'Back River Racers' I like. Conjures up crazy and loopy dudes trying to make something go way faster then it was ever designed to do, it's got a nice 'No 8' feel thing happening. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
