Rummy,
That is not the correct ceremony. I did exactly that when I changed the
name of my boat from "Still Afloat" to "Blue Heron". A month later, the
boat scraped against a raised outboard prop leaving a gash right through
the new name, exactly the length of the new vinyl lettering.
You have to first put a nickle or something under the mast step.
