I have another question that springs to mind, if I were to buy a boat would I be legally required or perhaps moreover bound by etiquette to keep the name. The only reason being that a boat has been in my family for a few years, and I would want to 'keep the name in the family' as it were. You would not be legally required. Whether your family would care that you didn't keep the name is something you will have to ask them. Any thoughts? Some superstitious people say, that to change a boat's name will bring her bad luck. Then the same people say that you have to follow a certain procedure to change the boats name. I think this procedure has been repeated in this forum for some 5 times during the last 15 years, so you might be able to find it by using your favourite search engine. If the boat is somewhere registered the keeper of the records must be notified, but otherways there should not be any trouble with the change of the boat's name. People and even towns and countries change names. I have kept the name but changed the boat for a few times, makes it easier in some bureaucratic procedures. The telecommunication authorities did not demand a new VHF licence as long as the name of the boat was the same. They did not have any interest that the lenght of the boat grew a few feet and the weight about doubled. (You see what good care can do.) You must be bringing that little boat up right - lots of good nutritious food LOL The Britons say, that a man should have about one foot of boat for every year of his age. Whatver I do, the boat does not keep up with my advancing age. The last desperate effort was a rear extension of a bit more thatn a foot, but the boat is now lagging some twenty feet behind. On the other hand I am sure that I would have much more trouble hoisting a mainsail for a 60 footer then what I do with my present 40 footer. :-) So every coin has two sides. - Lauri Tarkkonen |
