Before removing the old lettering, it’s worth honoring a long-standing nautical tradition that’s believed to clear away any bad luck tied to the previous name.
Sailors have long believed that renaming a vessel without the proper ritual could bring bad luck. A boat name change ceremony helps you respectfully erase the old name from the ledger of the sea gods and welcome the new one with good fortune. It doesn’t have to be elaborate, just sincere. A few words, a bottle of champagne, and some maritime spirit can go a long way.
