Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

Ahoy All, Can anyone tell me if there is any rules to changing a boats name? My runabout is called "Old Age" which i can not warm too,does the boat builder name the boat or the purchaser, any way as long as it does not disturb the Gods of Wood and Water cheer's Peter.

There are many superstitions regarding renaming of boats but it really is a case of what suits you. I would not rename a boat that has a history of championships or famous because of its previous owner but I was happy to use a name I preferred. There are many championship boats that have had several names.

before you upset neptune and his minions go to http://www.boatnames.com.au/boat-naming ... ngceremony and follw this ceremony ,this wy you remove all bad omens from the old name and the new name is placed on neptunes register deleting the ol name
