In Response To: Do you name your boats? (Andy Miller)

: Are kayaks like ocean liners or yachts?
: Do they get launched with champaign?
: Do you name your boats?
: Do you paint the name on the stern?
: Are kayak builders superstitious?
: What else do I need to know before I launch her? (Not ready for another month
: or two but I want to be prepared.)

I named my first boat, a canoe after my daughter, Rebecca Elisabeth. Don't know if anyone else does it, but it seemed the right thing to do.
