I know this forum is a catamaran forum... I sail my P16 all the time, but I'm a cruiser as well, and this topic applies...
I bought a boat from e-bay, a 25' monohull sailboat. There was no name painted on her, and the guy I bought it from was a broker, so he had no documentation that indicated a name for her.
Basically, I have no clue if/what her previous name is/was... I want to name her, do I need to "de-name" her first? If so, how?
