For a boat name? I like it...very pretty. More so if the name has personal meaning for you.

Your pictures are showing fine on this end, by the way.

Wonderful name. In English (and French) it is usually spelled "Celeste." But your version might be the Swedish spelling.

Go for it!

Hi. "Celest" seem like a good name for me and my partner :)
DO anyone live near by "ANNAPOLIS"???

ntica · November 24, 2011, 08:32:40 AM

"CELESTE" :)

I want to tell you that. There's an Aries for sale in US for 500 USD. needs to rebuild. cheap anyhow, I would have bought it but it's to complicated, the seller don't want any p&P. just cash money when picked up... so I let you in on it. If someone interested let me know and I provide you with adress and phone nr.

I'm nearby in Baltimore. Auspicious is in Annapolis. There might be others, too (it's a big sailing town, after all).

ntica · November 26, 2011, 09:44:46 AM

Godot. The thing is. The seller want cash money when collecting the Windvane. I could not transfer or wiring the money to him. And he wouldn't p & P it for me either so, I must let it go.

ntica · November 27, 2011, 10:56:43 AM

I spoke to the seller of my IF today. He told me "she" was already named...
"MORITO"... I'm kind of little supoctisious ??? Never change a boat name?!

In Latin - English : wed, marry.

I am not a superstitious person and I refuse to bring superstition on to my boat as it negative psychology instead of positive.
However we are all different and some like to uphold these seafaring traditions so luckily there is a way to safely rename your boat!

Captain Smollett · November 27, 2011, 08:59:57 PM

But there is no real superstition about renaming a boat...I don't know where that started, but it seems blown way out of proportion.

Don't sail on a Friday goes WAY back...with a long tradition. Right foot forward...long tradition.

Renaming?

Not really.

The sailing navies used to rename vessels upon capture and never blinked twice about doing it. Some vessels would have numerous names during their service lives if they were captured back and forth.

In contrast, I think it is important to have a name for YOUR boat that is meaningful TO YOU...not necessarily that of the last owner. If you like, and feel connected, to her current name - cool. But if not, make her yours.

And don't sweat it.

tomwatt · November 27, 2011, 09:43:45 PM

To add to Capt. Smollett's comment about the naming superstition, I've only found one real reference to it... and that involved renaming combat ships during a time of war and their subsequent sinking. I don't know of any other references to that being a "problem" except during WW2. But it wouldn't take many renamed sinkings to cause an awful lot of sailors to start to worry about it.
I think you can safely rename your vessel to a name that suits both you and the vessel. Although a suitably dignified renaming ceremony would surely be in order!

ntica · November 28, 2011, 03:36:14 PM

Yes I think you are right, all of you! And it's my boat, And the name on her is important to me so...Celeste it will be!

I try to always use positive psychology as taught by Bjelke and Shapiro http://www.northernlightsail.se/northern_light.html
Not "mustn't fall overboard" instead "must stay on board". Leads to action, not passivity.
Don't look for signs that mean bad luck, instead "Look, a dolphin. That's good luck!

Grog for that point, and also for the link...another excellent sailing couple. My first exposure to them was reading about their sailing to Antarctica!

My furler (right word?) is beneth the deck... When using, I will have to set the head sail "flying" (A wire in the sail)

SeaHusky · December 05, 2011, 11:16:56 AM
