What would you name your boat, or have named their boat?
I would name mine "ESCAPE TO St. SOMEWHERE"

I bought my boat w/ the name "Sea Reed". I'm afraid to change it based on superstition. If I could rename it, "My Lost Shaker of Salt"

I always liked
Winds of Change for a sailboat, but now that name brings too many thoughts of OTHER things.

Here's the graphic I sent to the vinyl cutters for our pontoon boat:

If I ever get the sailboat I want and park it in the Grenadines I hope the name can be "PAID FOR"

funny story...when my brother bought a small boat...he named it "Chemical Reaction". It was a play on words about getting high.
Anyway...a few years later...he and my dad went in on a big boat and decided to name that "Chemical Reaction II". Apparently, my father had/has no clue what the name was suppose to mean.

I'd go either Vanessa Ashley or Rylee Colleen. My wife and daugther's names.

A boat can safely be renamed if you do so in the right way.
First you thank King Neptune for the safe passages granted the vessel under it's current name and retire that name in a ceremony . (should be able to find this information somewhere on the net) Then you re christen the boat with the new name including a prayer in the ceremony.

The only boat I ever owned in my life (it's been many years now) was named "Shining Star."
I had no idea what I was going to name it, and when I told my youngest sister I'd bought a boat, she said, "OH, WELL, you
HAVE to name it the "Shining Star."
So I did, and it served me well.

I have a friend named Ruth and her husband named his boat
Ruthless.
He and his sailing partner and two others just won the Regata de Amigos this summer.
