Title: Renaming the boat
Post by Amy on Mar 27th, 2014 at 6:25pm
We need to rename our boat from the previous owners.  Just simple lettering pretty much.  Any suggestions for businesses that aren't ultra expensive and pretty quick/good with service?

If you need local I have used Larry perez signs & graphics in round rock.  They had great prices.  stop by at lunch told them what I wanted and paid. then picked them up after work. 

I have also purchased a few off of ebay that came out great at a great price.

Dont forget to perform the correct renaming procedure if you are superstitious :)

Does it involve throwing a virgin in a volcano?

Only if there is a volcano within a 1500 mile radius.

I don't know have you tried to find a virgin lately?  They are getting harder and harder to find over the age of 18.  ;D

Wow, that's quite involved.
What if your boat doesn't have a prev name??
Am I OK to just slap a name on her?

From what I gather, I think you are ok to put a name on it and run. But don't quote me :)

My uncle has a yacht he and his wife took for 4 years through the north American rivers and the Caribbean.  He had previously informed me of this ceremony and after his journey told me he met sailors who didn't fall into the superstition.  They confessed to him that they utterly regretted it and will always follow through for the rest of their boating lives.

I got the decals for my cruiser at iboats.  you can pick the font and dimensions and they send you vinyl letters that are easy to apply. Most go that route rather than painting because its less permanent. 
I also followed the naming procedure even though I didn't know the previous name.  We made a party out of it and invited a bunch of folks out for a dinner cruise. Its a bit silly, but makes for good conversation and a good excuse to drink champagne 8-)
