a beautiful boat should sail forever.

new 30 gallon holding tank from Marinesan. You send them the plans for what you want, and they build it. This layout follows the diagram on page 544 of Nigel Calder's essential book Boatowner's Mechanical and Electrical Manual, third addition, which greatly simplifies the holding tank system.
The right angle 1.5" fitting is the intake from the head, the straight 1.5" to the right is the dip tube/pump out. The 3" view port/cleanout id in the center, and the two 3/4" right angles are the vent tubes.
I added an extra vent based on the information that air is essential to no odor and liquification - so with one vent on each side of the boat hopefully the pressure differential from one side to the other will encourage constant air flow.
There is one more 1.5" fitting on the bottom of the tank, DIRECTLY UNDER THE DIP TUBE, that connects to a seacock/thru hull for dumping at sea. This position allows for a stick from the deck to go thru the tank and seacock in case anything gets clogged up.
After shipping, hose, and fittings the system is approaching $500. That does not include the head itself, which is your basic manual Jabsco somewhere between $150 and $200. This is a keep it simple stupid system (KISS), and robust, I hope.

THE ROSTER

Muf, our Keeper of the Roster, has updated it.  But he still needs information on boats out there that he doesn't have, like new owners, old owners, where any of the boats are.  We don't post the roster on the web site, it is only sent to owners.  Please send him anything you might have, or call him at:

Captain Clyde's Newporter  sites:

and  

newporter.ning.com

The Ning site has been given a reprieve.   I have  transferred my Ning site to the blogspot site and will leave it there. I am keeping my Ning site open as a home for my photos and drawings.

Many of my photos there do not relate to Newporters, but a search through my collection may prove useful for your studies.

My drawings are not accurate in many respects as a result of the PAINT program used to draw them, There is no accurate scale and at best they are only useful to indicate some specific detail.  Some are inaccurate because of my poor memory.  Use them to help you think, not as a detailed presentation of the subject matter.

If any of you want to start a web site I suggest you remember what has happened to both my Ning site and this site (which is a Ning site) and remember that my Blogspot site is free and Blogspot's owner (Google) has promised to keep it that way.

Put 'Newporter' on Subject Line.  Email is the best way to contact me.  I do not regularly look at this site or its messaging system.  Email will get to me post-haste.
