Flicking through some old YM's at the weekend, I came across a Libby Purves article on the above. She suggested that the role of the figurehead on old vessels (warding off evil etc) has now been taken over by assorted objects (e.g. Nauticalia teddy bears with "skipper" emboidered on their vest).
Anybody care to own up to the lucky charm on their boat?
