    Malcom,  Wow, what a place to own a Newporter!  That's a great destination for the mainlanders who are looking for a place to go.  Those of us on the east coast rarely even think about crossing a part of the Pacific because it seems almost out of reach, and there you are.  What I call my home waters is bracketed by Point Lookout in the Lower Chesapeake to the Woods Hole/Vineyard Haven area to the north, with my home port about in the middle on the Jersey side of the Delaware Bay, specifically on the Maurice River where we built the East Coast Newporters.  I sailed about twenty of those boats during my days with the two shipyards and one boat shop that built them here.  You folks who are still sailing them help me to keep my memory alive and that's real helpful for an old man like me!  Thanks.

    Peace,   Clyde

    Malcom welcome to the site.  Send pictures of your boat, from what you said about her very interesting.    

  • George Henderson

    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 and comes with an as-new inflatable dingy, outboard, second set of sails and loads of gear.

    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.
