I was thinking along similar lines...sort of a regatta competitor, but
that still doesn't give me any specific ideas for names :/

Go right ahead!

Swift or Swallow, maybe, but I don't really like either of those names...

Might work :) (I've sailed in Sunfishes too. Fun, isn't it?) The "Sun"
fits right in with the solar power...

The design is actually based on a design Karim posted long ago, back when
L-CAD was still a mailing list. He used one of the long windshields
mounted on a couple 65 degree slopes (2x2x2) and 33 degree slopes. I've
used that design, almost unmodified on one of my jets:

I've been trying to come up with original cockpits recently...so I guess
I succeeded :) And for once, the pilot can sit almost upright...
