"hi guys,
First, I am extremely confident that all Newporters were built to standard specifications - one of which was that the hull was 3/4 douglas fir marine plywood on oak frames, for the hull. Another was the aft section was a…"
Hull No.39, Mahogany Planking?
Kia ora all!My partner and I have just bought Hull No.39, we live in New Zealand.We're really excited, because her previous owners appear to have taken wonderful care of her bones, but there are a few things in the fit-out that we're planning on modifying and she needs to be re-decked.We are a bit curious though, because she has a couple of oddities about her. Firstly, she has a centre cockpit, with the addition of a stern cabin. I've only seen this on a couple of examples I found online, do we…See More

Welcome Zachary, If you have any questions about the site operation, like posting photos, etc, feel free to ask. It is a friendly site with a lot of information. The search engine in top right corner works really well. If you need help or photo documentation (so you can see what you are getting into ahead of time) feel free to ask. If you could post a picture of your boat it would be great. friend bob

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.
