Changing ritual of a boat's name

[dmarkvid2]

Has anyone heard of the ritual you should do when changing the name of a boat? Is it true people have had bad luck because this ritual was not done? I'm looking for people's experiences in this subject.

I think you first need to burn it at sea.

Just kidding. I think the biggest fundamental part of the ritual is the purchasing of a reasonable amount of suitable paint.

I think it's bad luck to change a boat's name, period. The day I renamed mine the engine seized, distributor blew up, and the lower unit fell apart. All completely unrelated catastrophic failures...

I'm pretty sure my boat is possesed by demons now.

The boat runs good and has never left me stranded.
