Tom,
I read somewhere that a lot of folks consider that 
changing a boat's name is bad luck as well. In the 
same article they mentionned that if you want to
change the boat name anyhow, that there is a 
ritual that must be done on the boat out at sea.
I don't recall what the ritual was.

Anyone heard of what this so-called ritual is all about ?
(not that I'm superstitious ...)
