Re-Naming your Boat?

[Tam Lin]

Or the goat!

When you are in that situation , when you have done everything you can, and the rest is up to the gods, and Neptune, you might just wish you had asked their permission first. The cost of that half bottle of champagne at that moment would be .......... exactly ......... well worth it.

Go on, you know you know you should ...........

Just rename the thing and get on with life, but do not let anyone bring Bananas on board.

Don't forget you need a dignitory to say the words. I bribed a mates wife with first swig of the booze.

Ok so all i need is rum, champagne, a coin, a priest, ale, the boats permission, hot water, a scraper, tridents and a beard.
Thank god its that easy

A boat is a fairly basic requirement too - plus the nerve to go through it all with a straight face! Personally, I would scrap the priest - unless he is an alcoholic with a very good sense of humour.

So you have met Lionel

Rum, bubbly and cockerel are essentials. Coin should already be in place.
Beard trident etc are fun.
But, absolutely no black-frocks.

I always re name my boats. I never have a ceremony of any sort. The only one I didn't re name sank

Hmmm, but Titanic was never really a good idea, was it?

I've renamed countless boats. I get a phone call, go along peel the old name off and stick a new one on. I'm still here!

But are the boats (and crew)?

 

[WeeIan1877]

Haha thanks for all your replys got to say some were very informative while most were just bizzare but gave me a right good laugh

I just bought a "New" boat. she has had the same name for allmost 30 years.
It doesn't offend me and I cant be bothered to think of a new one im just going to leave it.

It's American spelling of "Colors" will offend at least one of my relatives which is an added bonus.

The first voyage under sail will be cellabrated with a nice glass of my favourite Islay malt.
A little cooking whisky chucked over the bow to neptune might be a pleasant tradition.

I was advised to sail her astern for twice her length and have a virgin piss on her deck. My wee grandson came in handy for the latter.

Hmmm, don't find many of them in Kent - impossible to rename a boat in Essex!

...or the virgin.... though that may be a bit difficult if your Havant based....
