Renaming boat

[Larry Paterson]

I have a friend that is renaming his boat. Does anyone have a list/ceremony for him to follow. Thanks...

Google scored a variety of suggestions for a member on another boating forum. The rituals were rather wide ranging including one with something about a live chicken and a sharp knife.

Years ago there was a book on the subject. I tried to find it when I first saw this post.
There are superstitions involved you just wouldn't believe .
Renaming with certain names carries some perils as well. They had some pretty cruel examples too.

Tell your buddy; "Go ahead, rename, and pleasant dreams!"

Requires a vigin sacrifice. Very tough to come by these days.

Maybe use a live virgin chicken???
