using boat name again

[jacobske]

We would like to use the same name on the boat we are purchasing this week as the name of the one we are selling. We have hats, bags, glasses with the name on them already. Is this appropriate? Will Neptune sink us? The boat we are buying doesn't have a name yet.

My opinion, after consulting with both Neptune and Poseidon is that an unnamed boat is just that. You may name her safely. As the Gods of the sea are a fickle lot, a proper sacrifice of a prescious fermented beverage (but not too much) would be appropriate insurance.
