I used FunkyMonkey. Super service and very happy with the quality (sorry CSail, have not used your services as yet.)

Another vote for FunkyMonkey - they did a super job on mine and very easy to fit.

You also have to drink a bottle of rum and run naked around the boat (preferably when she is out of the water) chanting a prayer to Neptune, at midnight!

And invite everyone on the forum to attend so that we can point and laugh..er, er I mean draw Neptunes attention to your efforts so they dont go un-noticed.

In all seriousness... there is noway in hell that I would change the name of a boat again.

No problems before.... no end of problems after.

You got the naked bit right, but forgot the actual words

In the name of all who have sailed aboard this ship in the past, and in the name of all who may sail aboard her in the future, we invoke the ancient gods of the wind and the sea to favor us with their blessing today.
"Mighty Neptune, king of all that moves in or on the waves; and mighty Aeolus (pronounced EE-oh-lus), guardian of the winds and all that blows before them:
"We offer you our thanks for the protection you have afforded this vessel in the past. We voice our gratitude that she has always found shelter from tempest and storm and enjoyed safe passage to port.
"Now, wherefore, we submit this supplication, that the name whereby this vessel has hitherto been known (_____), be struck and removed from your records.
"Further, we ask that when she is again presented for blessing with another name, she shall be recognized and shall be accorded once again the selfsame privileges she previously enjoyed.
"In return for which, we rededicate this vessel to your domain in full knowledge that she shall be subject as always to the immutable laws of the gods of the wind and the sea.
"In consequence whereof, and in good faith, we seal this pact with a libation offered according to the hallowed ritual of the sea."

Then pour some of the champagne/rum into the sea!

I thought you had to get a virgin to pee on the bow, that is why I haven't changed my boat's name here in Cardiff, I just can't find any ;-)
