RED WINE is not an acceptable liquid for the naming/renaming ritual. Rum,  
good quality rum is the ONLY liquid that is recognized by the gods. Anything 
 less will bring fire and damnation upon your vessel.

Charles:

I used a  variation of ritual I  found
here<http://www.rhodes22.org/blew_skies/naming.html>.
I was  not sure about her previous name(s) so I just asked the Gods to
retire them  with honor.

1. Good red wine.
2. Pour some on bow as libations to  Gods
3. Make your request for naming and protection.
4. Toast the  boat!

BTW -  Clean the bow quickly - Red wine  stains...

Cheers,
Shawn
