I believe the winds are named for the Lord Protectorate of England, who issued letters of marque to the pirates that used the winds to make their escape after raids.

The sister ship "Coromuel" is now/still on duty for Baja Ferries as "Sinaloa Star"... ;)

I thought she still sailed as "Sinaloa Star" for Baja Ferries, to which she was sold in 2004 I think.. maybe 2005.

Could be that she's not used anymore, it was a while ago when I last read about that.
