Pretty much every boat you find on the river will have a unique name written on the side or perhaps even engaged, depending on how fancy their boat is, and the name is more important than some people may think; it’s essentially the boat’s registration.
It is however relatively easy to change the name of a boat, and the Royal Yachting Association is more than happy to allow an individual to change the name of their boat, as long as it is not already taken. Contrary to what some believe, changing your boat’s name does not mean a mountain of paperwork, and it can be changed relatively quickly and easily.
The name of a boat is actually rather significant and it’s gives a boat a unique identity. If you’re debating changing your boats name to something more suitable don’t hesitate because it is definitely.
