Hi Doug and everyone,

I've always wondered about the proper ceremony to rename a boat. I'll have to 
do it, too!

How do you "dename" a boat? I've heard one should write the old name on a piece 
of paper, burn it, and throw the ashes in the sea. What do you do with the 
champagne (other than drink some/lots)? Do you break a bottle? (Fire and glass 
on board ... great.)

Are there separate ceremonies for denaming and naming? Doug's email seems to 
suggest so. What does one do on naming day?


When it comes to appeasing the sea gods, one might as well cover all bases.

 
Fair winds,


Violeta

Make sure everything with old name labeled on it is off the boat or made
illegible if physically on the boat and the new name must be covered over
until ceremony is complete.

I've always wondered about the proper ceremony to rename a boat. I'll have to 
do it, too!

How do you "dename" a boat? I've heard one should write the old name on a piece 
of paper, burn it, and throw the ashes in the sea. What do you do with the 
champagne (other than drink some/lots)? Do you break a bottle? (Fire and glass 
on board ... great.)

Are there separate ceremonies for denaming and naming? Doug's email seems to 
suggest so. What does one do on naming day?
When it comes to appeasing the sea gods, one might as well cover all bases.

Fair winds,
Violeta

I hope I haven't jinxed everything by posting this early.
Just had the denaming ceremony. Lots of champagne both for us and the gods.

if I remember correctly, a part of the denaming ceremony should be backing up 
the boat, preferably under the sail. Did you manage to do that (under the sail)?

Google “boat renaming ceremony”. There are resources available there. And there 
are variants. Blue Water Sailing has a document that is quite comprehensive: 
http://www.bluewatersailing.com/documents/renamingceremony.pdf. Boating How To 
has a page dedicated to it, as well: 
http://www.boatinghowto.com/content/renaming-your-boat-ceremony-steeped-tradition-lore-286/.

Additionally, be aware that there are detractors out there. I was admonished 
once for suggesting a ceremony (“your vessel will be safe if you master the 
sailing skills, not because you follow some stupid tradition” (or 
superstition), etc.).

Generally, the process consists of multiple parts:
- removing all instances of the old name (but one)
- denaming
- renaming

There should be a copious amount of some beverage, preferably derived from 
grape juice. Long and winded speeches are common. Some food could be ingested, 
but it is not essential.

good luck

Re: Stus-List Renaming ceremony

2017-08-04 Thread Edd Schillay via CnC-List 
Despite its longstanding use in maritime history, I was warned early on to 
never name a boat a woman’s name. For example, someone I knew named his boat 
after his girlfriend Diana, and was then prompted over the season by his 
boating buddies with the following questions:

"How many men can Diana take?"
"How wide is Diana?"
"Can you sleep on Diana?"
"Is Diana fast?"
"Can Diana handle a good blow?"
"How far can Diana go?"
"Is Diana hard to control?"
"Is it difficult to get Diana out of a slip?"
"Is Diana overheating?"
"Will you loan Diana to a friend?"
and, my favorite,
"Will you put Diana on the hard this winter or keep her wet?"

All the best,

Edd
