Our Newporter is hull no. 33 and so, like yours, a west-coast built boat. We have some idea of the kinds of issues you'll no doubt encounter as you proceed with restoration! We've owned Viajador since 2006 and have unquestionably logged more maintenance/reconstruction hours than sailing hours. But we have hopes of being far enough ahead of the game to spend most of next summer out exploring the BC coast (our home port is just off Vancouver) and maybe even going as far as Alaska. And in the meantime, she's a cozy home/workshop.
We hope you enjoy the site and find it helpful, and look forward to seeing your photos and sharing the stories of your restoration work. And sailing trips!

This is George Henderson, owner of "Faith," Hull #69 located in the Boston area. Just letting the community know that she is on the market since I now live in CO. She is priced to sell. Makes me sad but I'd like to see her legacy continue. If you know of a potential buyer I can be reached at georgehenderson.usa@gmail.com / 857-221-1581. She is in great condition and has been lovingly restored. There are pics on my members' page and a link to a Google Drive folder is below, where you will find pics and a survey. https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1rIBwFD2-o9rJCVKsPaEcLq9...
