Rename my boat????

[havarest]

Hey all,

I am not one to take on all that bad luck and the black cat and walking under ladders stuff, but my mate said to me do not rename your boat as it is bad luck:unsure: ... all the bad luck i have had i cant see any difference:( ... but anyway thought i would put it out there to the people to give me thoughts or examples of such things or not happening:blink:

Thanks

Havarest; Have a read of this, can be bad luck if you change the name without apeasing \"King Neptune\".

hehehe this is funny.

We had a 30-odd ft boat a few years ago and sold it. The person who bought it changed the name and then the boat sank. Sank right at the marina.

They refloated it and cleaned it all out.

Then a bit later, it sank again. I can't remember where but I think it was at a marina again.

umm... so I think changing the name is fine... just remember to check the bilge every now and then.

A mate of mine always says to \"Name your boat after your Mrs. That way you can be sure it will never go down on you\"

But i like the appeasing neptune approach

I am yet to name my boat first go round. Somehow the names I had chose of 'Screamin' Seamen' or 'Wet Dream' just dont sit really pretty with the ladies.

Cant imagine why.........
