Hello Fellow Newporters! We've run across a badly rotted area of the bulwark. It's right here where the plate that helps to secure the bowsprit is. I'm worried about just how strong this area needs to be. The next few pictures show that we dug away all the rot back to a good section of wood and then about bout 8 inches back. We then filled in the area with three pieces of 7/16 inch plywood, attaching the outer layer to that good section of wood with ss screws and filling the areas in between with West System 404 High Density Filler/Epoxy. Our final phase is going to be laying 2 layers of 15 oz biaxial cloth over the entire boat. Think this will be strong enough?

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
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.
Clyde's email:
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.
