naming a used boat

[sam20916]

I just bought an international 470 from 1977 that does not have a name on the hull. Is it considered bad luck to give it a name? It may have had a name at one point but a repainting could have covered it. I just don't want to tempt fate on the water thanks

Do a Google on Renaming + boat and go from there.

I searched the same idea not long ago... lots of varying ceremonieshttp://www.48north.com/mr_offline/denaming.htmhttp://www.bitwrangler.com/wt/renaming.shtmlOf course, not having a visible name, you'll want to cover every name possible in the book to make sure the previous name is stricken from the vessle....... good luck

Ever checked the archives here?

Type in "renaming a boat" and watch the past discussions pop up in the hundreds.

the name game

It is bad luck for a vessel NOT to have a name. I'm surprised she hasn't sunk yet!
