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:

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.

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.

Yep, that's my picture. Taken on the Robert Bold, an oysterboat borrowed from a local oyster company by the Oyster Research Lab of Rutgers University, for which I was captain of their research vessels. That was in the late 1980's. The picture used for my icon here was taken about three years ago. Thanks for the question on the history of the Newporter. It is sending me on a similar search.
Peace, Clyde
The sail North has been bad. Horrible in fact. Nothing but Gale Warnings and Small Craft Advisory the entire way. I have clawed my way up around Conception and Arguello to Avila where I spent 3 weeks and then a week in Morro Bay. I'm currently lying in San Simeon cove and teh big South Swells from Hurricane Celia are reaching in here - fortunately they are long d low. The fog is thick. I'm getting ready to head out into the fog to Monterrey. The boat is so slow going into the wind with the big swells. It would be perfect for a trip to Hawaii, but alas, going North against the California Coast is rough if the seas are high. Going downhill is easy though.
Well, that's the update for now. These boats are great! I love it all the more and look forward to working on it when I get into the sunny dry weather.
