- In this video I talk a bit about the superstition behind renaming a boat and then go through the renaming ceremony required to rename a boat a register the new name with the Ledger of the Deep. Finally then I go through the physical application of the letters to the hull.

May Renko be forever blessed with fair winds and calm seas. Poseidon, please keep Renko and all who sail on her safe and let us be witness to the change in your ledger. For this, we give our thanks.
Sitting in the maternity ward waiting for my son to be born and I get the notification of a new Stu video.....what a bloody brilliant day 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Congrats!
Congratulations on your sons entry into the world, a new definition of luxury = sleep.✨🎇🎆🍾👏☺
Up Cork
Congrats mate. I hope everything goes well for the three of you! :)
congratulations!
Make sure you keep that dedication speech you have written down. Keep it in the boats log book as part of it's permanent record.

Wow i never realized how important the ceremony was when renaming the boat thought it was all hog wash
Got to say, that I just loved the interaction in this video, a couple of viewers rocking up and getting involved, drinking some beers and putting the lettering on - and really, the letter being a little of centre is just part of the legend of RENKO.
We'll always remember the get together. :)
great job stu,,,..boats is really showing the work you've put in...well done
Looking good mate! I always look forward to your next video. Best of luck to you on your travels and thanks again for bring us along on your progress of Renko.
When we'd name a boat, lots of cold beer, check, good friends, check, measurements, check, and having a good time doing it. Buddy named his boat, About Right Jeff in LA USA
Detective Renko from Gorky Park! Excellent book, great name! Greg
It’s good for us to have ceremony... life without moments dedicated to celebrating and marking beginnings and change is a bit bleak. I like to think the fun you and your guys had in that moment will become part of Renko. Well done!!
Please let me know how your schedule looks when you in New England - looking forward to meeting you in person and cooking lobsters at the meetup 👍🏻
Fellow New Englander hoping for the same!
Where is the meet up ?
Great reason to have a bit of a bash I say! With all the hard work they put in on the old girl it was well deserved fun. I agree a bit of ceremony is a great thing.
So nice to see the Renko coming together. Please make sure to give us a couple of short 10 second shots from the band night so we can enjoy your other talent. With the short blurbs you will avoid copyright strikes and we get to enjoy it.
Yes, yes, yes! Post the names of the songs, and we can write some royalty-free lyrics for them!
What a nice looking Boat.
Hi Stew, great to meet you in person at the Sydney International Boat Show! Keep going, I'll keep watching!
Great name. I used the same method for my Sailboat Name. The vinyl lettering goes on well. Loved the narrative
LOL saw the video title then was about to comment... I hope you maintain the ledger of the deep, then I saw you mention it. Well done.
wow great explanation on superstitions
Right strategy on the alignment of port to name. Looks great.....love the name and the font!
Good to have a chat at the boat show tidy. Hope Robs Passage Planner is helpful in the future
So many times I've listened to you share your knowledge in so many unknown boating and machanical subjects unknown too me it's funny that now you are in my own sign writing field too :) Cheers from NZ!
Great name and lettering Stu. Look forward to seeing it on the water!
Thanks John!
Love the font and great colour. Congratulations on naming your boat 👍
I was looking down the list at the available fonts and then came across "Pirate" There was no need to scroll any further. ;)
Great video Stu! I raise my glass to the Renko! Wishing her fair winds and following seas! Cool to hear your coming to the US. If you ever get a chance to get up in the Lake Superior area I recommend it. Beautiful area and I'll buy you a beer! Get some video of your adventures here. Have fun and safe travels mate!
very cool video Stu, really enjoyed it.
Congrats on the renaming of your boat Stu
Stu, The boat is looking great.
Renko, May you ever sail straight and true, on a starless night be your sailors guiding light, and never fail to bring us home so no wife live alone.
🥺🥺🥺 I really think that Poseidon updated his ledger; Godspeed (this made me tear-up)
Awesome to see the name going on her....congratulations mate!!!
Looking good Willis,congratulations on the naming,hasn’t sunk yet so you should be right I’d say.Stuy those blunt rear rubbing strips have potential for hook ups on ropes and piers I can see,you know best but thought to point that out,stay safe buddy,loving it.
When putting the name of the port on the bottom, for a moment the AR was blocked so look like Dang Island. Nice name for a boat, many she float well. sail true, and be a restful place for all she carries
Looks great!
Awesome Stu, Loved the ceremony. Wish you were stopping by the Seattle area on your trip so I could say hi. Maybe down the road someday
Someday Tim!
Fantastic episode
Good luck, Dave from Florida I hope the boat brings you
Adventure enjoy!
But don't they all
Godspeed Renko and all those who sail in her.
Love it Stu
Stu, good job! we did our boat renaming with the boat in the water; cruised out to an island that was meaningful to the family, had a couple family members on board. It must be a commonly known ceremony because we did i think essentially the same speech and pouring the bottle east/west, etc though in our case it was champagne. It can't hurt to try to keep Poseidon and Neptune happy. Renko is looking great, i can't wait to see the engine dropped back in and hear it running...
Sounds like you had a great day out when you did your renaming. :)
Arkady Renko: one of the all-time great novel detectives, and a real human being. "Renko": a great name for a vessel. Two thumbs up from Greenwell Point.
Great video. Cool font, Thanks for sharing
From Holiday Island to Dangar Island 👍
You’ve done a great job with the trawler
Neptune is pleased
The old girl is looking great Stu, you've done an amazing job so far!
Great video. One easy way to find the center of your graphic is to fold in half, lining up your end letters and make a crease. That way you get center and a straight line to use as a guide in lining up.
I don't think putting a sharp crease in the transfer lettering is a good idea, that's why they come gently rolled in a tube, to prevent creasing. I reckon the transfer would lift and crack & peel at any crease. Better to measure, tape it in place & stand back & take a look as they did.
The US Coast Guard Cutter Tamaroa was originally the Navy fleet tug Zuni, and she still managed to have a nearly 70 year career. She was the cutter famous from "the perfect storm". If a boat can survive that it can survive anything.
Sounds like a fine vessel!
Dang...I never seen so much fluffin around to put a few transfers on ....lol
Beer is an effective attractant of testosterone.
@@Jrhnhemp Not to mention double vision, where are we syndrome and numerous other social lubricants.
Looks like the way to do it to me! Lol! I'm gonna have a party when I name my 17' fiberglass boat. Any good reason for a party!
What's it to ya?
May you have fair weather and following seas.
You start that great music and I'm further pulled in 👍 I let friend's kids submit potential name for my boat and winner's family gets a fun afternoon on the boat. Well, I have a different name I plan to use, so I'll wait till afterward.
*whistles*
"Follow the Moskva.... Down to Gorky Park listening to the winds of chaaaange...."
Great name Stu - great books also. Love it.
Thanks mate!
That was my first impression, Arkady, I'm happy for you.
Renko is a beauty! A real upgrade from the Green Machine.
not to give a big head, your video editing is well done, enjoy the presentation. the beer looked taste, yum
I find the sticker stuff up humorous, ull look at that for years and shake your head! Im a recovered alcoholic, almost 2 years. Cheers from kiwi land
Good job on giving up the piss, stick with it.
Nope. The "Golden Hind" was originally the "Pelican" and quite a few Royal Navy ships were renamed and served with distinction
Good name Stuey, I’m about to name mine the Davy and may even go to trouble of the ceremony, what the hell we’re only here once. It’s my birthday today topped off with a Danger Stu video life doesn’t get much better.......Lookin forward to the next one mate👍🏴
Happy Birthday mate and good luck with Davy
Hahaha got to have a bunch of beers for the ceremony. I wish I would have been there to kick back a few with you guys.
Nothing finer to watch than a committee gets involved in a job. Best of luck in her Stu.
How many men does it take to name a boat?
Depends how many beers have you got.
The more beer, the more men... Also, the more men and beer, the more likely you may have to redo some of the work later; sans beer.
Good Luck, and may you have safe travels and fair winds :-) She's looking good............
have been waiting for this, im in the middle of wanting to rename my boat
Looks good.👍
Sir you make the most informative videos...glad to see the new video. I need some advice. If you could help I believe it could be helpful to alot of others that have had this problem.
Cool name and looks great too.
Thanks Nick!
Nice of Stu to offer that lady his helm seat!
It looks good, and really from the distance it doesn't appear off.....👍
Ahhh...great day and an honour to be a part of Stu...Long live Renko and all who sail upon her :)
I've read a couple of those novels. I'll have to look for the others. Great character, and choice for a name.
Thanks Mark, they are great books.
Speaking of Neptune, I got to be a double shellback in the US NAVY. First time crossing the equator as a polliwog crawling thru garbage, then as a shellback making the polliwogs crawl. Crazy ceremony I can tell ya.
We love our silly superstitions! Love the name and loved the ceremony. Cheers to Renko and to Poseidon!
Long story about our experience changing a boat's name. Back in 1973 my father bought a steel hull 30 foot launch. I can't remember the original name but he changed it to Sea Cow and it underwent extensive refurb. Once finally completed after god knows how long (I was nine at the time) it was moored over the road from our place in Perth on the Swan. My mother and I rowed out to load the fridge for our first weekend away on the thing. I recall we were headed to Rottnest with some friends. Some time later that day it....exploded. The superstructure is still orbiting one of Pluto's moons. As best as can be explained, "they" think the gas fridge had a leak and the hull slowly built up with gas, to be ignited by something, static, a pilot light. Not sure. The explosion was hard half way around Perth. It even ended up on the front page of the Daily News. A fireman narrowly avoided serious injury as they went out to try and haul it to shore and he decided to hit the hull with his axe to sink it. Of course the hull was steel and the axe came back at might great speed and narrowly missed his head.
Hitting a steel hull with an axc is never a great idea!
@@DangarMarine Indeed, I suspect that fireman learnt not all boat hulls are wood. :)
nice work mate
I live in south Louisiana US and have grown up in boats. Coming from a fishing family, when your outboard breaks you have to fix it yourself. So I have repaired outboards since a teenager. I am now 57 so that’s a lot of fixing. I love and have seen all your videos. Cannot wait until your new ones come out. Someday I would really like to meet you. I just wonder how do you put up with the loud birds?
am all they way in the bahamas and i will stay up for ur post
Another reason I heard for the superstition involved in renaming a boat, is that the name was carved deeply into the Transom, on wooden sailing ships, to purposefully make it difficult to rename. If the boat was stolen it was a lot of work to cut the transom out, and replacing it and significantly weakened the boat in doing so.
That's an interesting one. So many theories!
Looks Good from Here
You can draw a centre line on the top of the aplication paper for reference ,using the letters to find center, once you are happy with location ,hinge the top of the decal with one long piece of tape ,pin the bottom with two tabs of tape to stop it blowing about , when applying letters take a sharp stanley and cut the tabs at the bottom to release the decal but dont remove it they are now refrences , then start at one end cut vertically from top (but start under your tape hinge) down between letters , flip that letter upside down on the hinge ,remove the backing paper ,lower the letter line the aplication paper up again , squeegy the one letter , move to the next letter repeat . then remove application paper , simple.
An anagram of 'Renko' is 'Krone'. The currencies of Norway, Denmark and Iceland. Also meaning Crown.
That boat is looking real nice. Amazing how just a few superficial things can really make something look a million bucks. Hope you've sorted out that crane fiasco as Renko is looking like it wants to get wet.
Hey there! Just talked to Jake at Marineengine.com, he mentioned your channel. Looks like your quite the mariner! I told him I would give your channel a shout out on our next video. On our channel, you never know what we'll be working on next is the motto, but I wasn't exactly expecting a boat LOL! But here we are, so we'll own it and get my friend all fixed up. Poor boat looks like it was neglected from day one, but I think we can save it.
Good luck with the boat! :)
mate.. love your work..love this channel ..hope the ingot tossed into the wild sea was 'mangrove friendly'... just saying as I was watching with my 6 year old who asked 'why was that man throwing stuff into the sea ...cause you're not allowed to do that !" I said you picked it up later, but it wasn't on the video.
Good to see he has learned well! It was made out of mild steel which will rust away in the salt water very quickly. :)
much beer was consumed and the ceremony was a success.
Glad you did the correct thing for the renaming. My second trip to sea was on a boat thet carried bananas as cargo. There were some misfortunes but none too serious and definitely some good luck. It was a passenger/cargo ship :)
One of the navigating rules for sailing from Southhampton to America was to sail south until the butter melts then turn right. I'm sure there was a rule for the west coast of Australia also..
Great name! Almost would have bet on DangarBlu, though :) .. That is probably why I don't gamble!
I wish that you would have for advice prior to applying the lettering. But it does look good.
1. Draw a straight line at the base of the lettering on the application paper. Keep in mind that some letters and fonts will fall below. Eye this well as it's a base for all to follow.
2.easure the entire layout of the belt. To draw another vertical center line. Keep in mind that letters may be different widths. The center of a 5 letter layout might not be the center of the center letter. Again....important.
3. Snap a chalkline for the vertical center. Keep it a light application of chalk. Chalkline is best for all because they are going to absolutely straight and you can extend this straight line out. The longer - the better to view it.
4. Snap any additional horizontal chalklines for your layout.
5. You now have an absolute basis for everything. Tape the decal down and view it. Adjust it from your benchmarks.
6. When you apply the decal, don't get hung up on fractions of an inch/mm. Your lines are good on everything. Just carefully peel the entire backing off the decal away from the surface. 1 person at each end can light attach the decal using the reference lines at each end and at the center. Treat each letter as an individual decal and squeegie each from the center outward.
Just one other thing when laying it out. Again.... don't get hung up on mm's. Use major points of reference on the subject. It will be THOSE that dictate how people view your layout. For instance: On a bus, the center of the side might not be between the front and rear bumper. Your front point of reference might be a door.
Hope that helps anybody else. I've done countless trucks. Boats or even buildings follow these rules.
Edit: Prep: While you were ok with how you prepped, you should use a prepsol to remove any wax for older surfaces. Finish with denatured acohol before application to remove and remaining dirt or skin oils left from laying lines.
She looks nice with her new name. Neptune will be pleased.
Stu likes tempting fate, the bananas didn't kill him, so now he renames the boat! You worry me man!
USS Phoenix survived Pearl Harbour, and was later renamed 'General Belgrano' on passing to Argentina. It was sunk by a British torpedo, however this was 30 years later and nearly 50 years from the ship's first launch. So good and bad luck both in there, I suppose.
Thanks, should have waited till the end before asking.
Think my boat will carry a named comment that always goes round when me and the boys discuss naming the boat " were outa bloody beer"
Thank u Mate for another great video, have a safe trip to U.S. if u come to Port St. Lucie Florida. Look us up, be glad to take you to Dinner our treat! Thanks Robert
Nice job on the decals. On trick I learned was when your pulling off the paper use the non scraping straight edge to hold the paper as your pulling it off following that edge as it comes off keeps the vinyl from lifting or tearing.
P.s. did you give an offering of Earth Wind and Fire? Bad ju ju if you didn’t
nice speech stu
My boat was moored in the Atlantis sea for 69 years and when I changed her name she sank that hour
Did the insurer pay out on the cover note?
@@dustyfarmer yea he gave me about $3.50
Cannot be any worse luck than you have already seen with your boat!
Great video! Question: What do you do if the boat had a name and you don't know what it was? The name of the boat that we're restoring was on the transom but was sanded off and we can't find it anywhere in the paperwork or on the hull. Thank you for bringing us along and we'll see ya in the next one
Very refreshing to see only positive comments, with no complaints about doing something wrong!
Hey, did you use deionized artisanal water in your spray bottle? 😉
Hi stu I passed your mates trailer on the m 1 today hope it got there safe
Man trapped by falling boat in a yard today, nearly had a heart attack thinking it was you until I read it was in Brisbane
Chiquita, Bonita or Cavendish would all have been great names ....
Tony Nicholson if you want it to be slippery and slide through the seas it shoulda been the Gros Michel.
Hey DangarStu, a bit of trivia for you. Renko Charts are used to track price movements on stock exchanges. The name Renko is derived from the Japanese word 'Renga' which means... a brick!
Your vessel will henceforth be known 'The Brick' on Dangar Island.
Cheers, DangarDave.
I think thats a fantastic name. I can’t say I by into the superstition of bad luck renaming a boat. I have personally renamed 5 boats in my lifetime and they have all been good no issues. Or at least non I attribute to bad luck!
Stu, your killing me with the sweater.... was 106 F here today
The new name looks great. Will you have video of the concert you're playing in?
Accuracy suffers with chaos and beer...whodathunkit?
Interesting fact.
On June 7th 1958 the USS Enterprise had it's christening and launch. It was renamed the Edmond Fitzgerald November 8 1975 and sank two days later on November 10th during a storm on lake Superior killing the entire crew of 29. It was later discovered the protocol in which to change the name was not followed properly. James T Kirk now owns the rights to the previous name USS Enterprise and legend has it that he still boldly goes where no man has gone before.
