What's the problem? Can't find a virgin to pee over the side while you cross the equator backwards? (I can't remember, but isn't that the "proper" way to rename a boat?)

And does the virgin have to be female? I know a lot of online-gamers that would fit the bill if a female gender is not required... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Slightly off topic, but weren't women on ships bad luck? If so, how can you get a virgin (female) on the ship to change the name, but not get the bad luck associated with it?

Folk lore is so confusing sometimes. Abast Ye..
