I had 2 yachts in another life. The second one I repainted the hull. I kept the same name "4C's".
I wasn't going to change the name & put any superstitions to the test.
Cheers Pete

What reason did NSW Transport Minister Andrew Constance give for his new 'Captain's Pick' where he denied Ian Kiernan and chose May Gibbs instead?
"Ferry McFerryface: Clean up Australia founder Ian Kiernan questions May Gibbs name change
The man who won the popular vote to have his name on a Sydney Harbour ferry only to see the vessel renamed Ferry McFerryface has hit out at the decision to rebadge the scandal-hit boat after a popular children's author.
Clean Up Australia founder Ian Kiernan was originally told his name would grace the ferry after the NSW Government ran a Name Your Ferry competition.
But the honour was withdrawn so the vessel could be called Ferry McFerryface a name praised by some Sydneysiders as a bit of fun, but slammed by others as a joke.
Now Mr Kiernan has hit out at Transport Minister Andrew Constance's decision to rename the boat after Gumnut babies author and illustrator May Gibbs, saying she has "nothing to do" with the Harbour.
"I think she's a worthy Australian but I don't know what she's got to do with Sydney Harbour," Mr Kiernan said.
According to a Freedom of Information (FOI) report, Mr Kiernan received more votes than Ferry McFerryface, which is now being labelled as the minister's choice.
I've seen a fishing boat named Masterbaiter. Could also be a good name for a tugboat.

Ferry McFerryface and Sir Prince Phillip are what you get when politicians indulge themselves with "captain's picks". (Rudd had a captain's pick of his own, but he ate it.)

I recall seeing a rental canoe floating upside down =near Audley nsw -- it bore the simple number "96"... but when righted became "69"

There were 100 of them and that particular one was called 69
Having had boats for the best part of my life, I was always lead to believe that if you changed a ships name it would bring bad luck.
What was he thinking when he named the ferry???
