Naming your V20

Hey Guys,

Is there some kind of unspoken rule against renaming a boat? When a boat changes owners is the new owner supposed to keep that name? Just curious...

It's not that it can't be done, but there is a correct procedure to be followed. *Check this:

Did you know that three proposed White Star ships i know the Titanic and Olympic were built. But they had plans on three ships originally. The third was Gigantic. After the Titanic sank they rename the Gigantic to the Brittanic. All 3 sank. The First built was Olympic and on it's return trip to Belfast it was struck in the Harbor and sank. Since the Olympic was already booked for trips and the Titanic wasn't but it was completed they renamed the original Titanic to Olympic and was used twice till she sank as well off NY. The once sank Olympic was repaired and named Titanic so as we all know she sank as well. So as stated above the third sister ship named Gigantic. After the Titanic sank they rename the Gigantic to the Brittanic. It sank as well. So there's a story a 3 sister ships renamed and all sank some twice under 2 different names. Yeah all the names come fom greek mytholigy. The Olympians the Titans and the Giants it is safe to assume that was the original name but it can't be proven. Am sure it had it's name changed before Titanic went down but to my knowledge the name was changed due to the fact it was no longer the biggest ship in the world at her launch.

Yes we are the holders of untold millions of trivial facts, accumalated after life times of various non sensical pursuits ;D

Hey Bygracealone,

As we start up the boating season perhaps a man in your line of work would be able to perform a "Blessing of the WellcraftV20.com fleet"?

Hey Rick, I definitely won't push my faith on any of our fellow members, but when asked, I'm happy to pray and discuss my faith.

I can and certainly will pray for the Lord's blessing to be upon us this season. But as a Protestant and Reformed Presbyterian minister, that's as far as I believe I'm capable of going. There are some other denominations and "high church" types where one can ask for somebody to come down and "perform a blessing" on whatever one wants (even animals... ??? no joke). They'll even dress up in a cool gown and bring some special water :P I'm much more comfortable and willing to ask the Lord's blessing on us rather than pretend I have any inherent power in myself or position to perform such blessings.

Anyway, here is my humble prayer for us: May the Lord's blessing be upon us all during this fishing season. May He grant us safety and many good times on and off our boats and may we catch our limits. May He also grant us thankful hearts for the beauty and glory of His creation and may we see His grace and mercy through it all. Asking these things in the precious and glorious name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
