AS FAR AS I KNOW THERE IS NO BAD LUCK IN RENAMING A BOAT. I BELIVE THAT THE LUCK OF THE BOAT IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE SKILL AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE SKIPPER AND IT'S CREW. IF THE BOAT IS WELL MAINTAINED AND IT'S OWNER PLANS FOR THE SAFE ORERATION OF THE BOAT IT WILL REWARD THE OWNER WITH YEARS OF SAFE AND ENJOYABLE PLEASURE. IF YOU WANT TO HAVE YOUR BOAT RE-CRISTINED I WOULD CONTACT YOUR LOCAC PRIEST AND LET HIM KNOW OF YOUR INTENTIONS. HE WILL KNOW THE PROCEDURES AND BE HAPPY TO HELP YOU OUT.

SAFE BOATING!!!
