Superstision
Hey Guys,
Just thought this would be an interesting one. Everyone knows it's bad luck to change a boats name but what other marine superstisions does everyone know??
I'll start it off, apparently it's bad luck to go to sea if you see a holy man on the way to the boat.

Meeting a girl/woman with red hair on the way to the launch was always considered very bad luck here. Given the high incidence of said qualities locally, it sounds like a damn fine excuse not to get a days work done.....
Green anything was another one.

Happy ribbing

Not strictly a boating superstition, but bananas are supposed to be bad luck for fishing.
Here's some more:
