Whats the word on that, I thought it was bad luck to change the name but I no like the name on my boat. 'Time out' must go but then it`s been trouble free so if I change it and all goes to hell then I guess I~ll know it is bad luck.
A SALT WEAPON is a better fit.
Cruiser John is going with Knot Sea.. mmmmm ok John
I like the name A Salt Weapon..thats clever :D
This is the boat my parents Re Christened The Gemstone from Nauti-{something} in 1980...
Perform the ceremonies:)
Recommend the ceremony. In fact, I'm amazed at myself for NOT doing such a thing, as I am mildly supersticious. Mine went from "Hammer Time" to "Red Hot Sommer" the second season I had it and promptly blew a drive.
Wouldn't "A Salt Weapon" work more betterer if you boated on say...the OCEAN?
Semantics Michael !
He could stop at the Salton Sea or the Great Salt Lake.......
lol I am not going with KNOT SEA, Thought about Safe SEAman.. but that got vetoed... We are changing the name and are having the ceremony. As silly as it seems, I am very superstitious and will perform all ridiculous displays to the gods. C dock renaming ceremony, drop that Baja in on the 7th and join us... Needs to be done before the maiden voyage.
Good Luck! Hope She's everything you hope for.
Helped change the name on a few boats in our club. Followed the directions, all has been fine for them so far. Some people might think it is dumb, but who wants to test bad luck!
There are a lot of old maritime traditions. I feel it's best to stick with them, even if they may seem silly.Quote:

I haven't settled on a new name.
I was thinking "Brane Damnage" - but the wife doesn't like it.
A few here will understand the underlying meaning...
Plus, most of that tradition can be a lot of fun !:cheers2::cheers2:
