In lots of languages inanimate objects are gendered (either male or female).
I'm wondering what's the appropriate gender for a sailboard. They look somewhat phallic (except formula of course) but boats are typically female.

Any suggestions?

Well since all you can do with a windsurfer is ride it, it better be female.

I don't know about that.. I drink with near mine on occasion, yell abuse at it, leave it by itself in the car, or basement for extended periods (and it doesn't get upset or leave me), and I can trust my mates alone with it...

Hey - Leave my hobo out of this!

If your female lets you ride her in the basement I'd say you've found a keeper..

A windsurfer must be female as you can mount either on the mantle piece [}:)]

My board is moody and requires attention - must be female.

Seriously, it's female in the french language, only because windsurfing consists of 2 existing words, the first of which happens to be female. Nothing to do with the aforementioned riding comments.
