Gentlemen:

OK, I give up. Someone here recently bought another boat and his post said that 'a proper denaming/renaming ceremony will be performed'. Who was it, Oscar, fhopper, or someone else? I want to know the pros & cons (there are many) about doing this to a 'presailed' boat.

A quick Google search on "boat naming ceremony" turns up several quasi-authoritative sources on the subject. Some members here believe all it takes is a heatgun and some new vinyl lettering. Others lean towards booze and bare-breasted maidens. Your call Bob.

It was me and I was being facetious.....(go ahead look it up).

Sailors were historically some of the most superstitious people. It was probably because so many of them did not come home, and they were trying everything to stay on the survival roster.

Modern sailors have embraced any of the old rituals that involved imbibement, and adapted it to modern times. (Buffet, cheap bubbly)

The official de-naming ceremony I performed included a heat gun, clean and wax all in one compound, and a cup of herb tea.

I did wish her good luck and gave her a pat on the stern.

Don't need to look it up, thanks. BTW, I didn't know you upgraded to a 42! I don't know if I'm comfortable handling or can afford anything over the sub 5 year old 32-36 we're currently seeking. Again, we can't move on that for at least another two years...when the child graduates college...unless she extends that time by continuing on for a masters degree or worse (sob).

Hmmm, there are some very effective dark science rituals to effect scholarships...

3 weeks ago I went though the re-naming ceromony. It is a great way to have lots of fun. When I popped the cork on the champaign bottle the cork flew and hit the mast 1/2 way up and bounced back and I caught it. Every one said that boads well for the furure. I hope so because I really like my new old c25. It is so much fun to sail.

p.s. getting rid of the old name is not that easy to do. almost missed an article in 48 deg. North that had the old boats name in it.
