I am getting a new air 216 TE this week. I would like to christen the boat and was wondering if anyone had information regarding christening ceremonies (what to say, when to break the champaign across the bow, etc.)- any info would be appreciated.

If you are, I wouldn't use anything but a bottle of SpringValley water, lest you defeat the purpose. :o :grin: Mike2007 Ski Nautique 196 Limited/ PP/ Mods

In 02, 4 of us went out for a "formal" christening of a buddy's
new Air Nautique. He stood at the bow with a bottle of champagne,
said his words - - - Then we drank the champagne. Worked for us.

Guess I scr-wed up. Gave the wife the bottle & she got "plastered". I slept on the couch while she "blew chunks" in the bathroom! OF\"The voices aren\'t real...but they have some good ideas.\"Comment

re Christening
Thanks for the input. Received the boat, got a cool christening off the internet and christened the boat "Totally Hip" (I am an orthopedic surgeon)Comment

I'm reminded of the scene from Caddyshack where judge Smails was christening his new yacht; "It's easy to grin, when your ship comes in, and you've got the stock market beat. But the man worthwhile, is the man who can smile, when his shorts are too tight in the seat."Comment
