MAKING A NEW TRANSOM FOR HULL #113
This definitely a work in progress as well as a documentation of the transom area, so since there are a lot of photos, and as far as I can tell you only get 3 photos per blog, there will be TRANSOM 1, Transom 2, etc. In Transom 1 I will start out with a photo from Dennis Gaffeny's Le Batteau Sans Souci (now gone, but I have her masts and sails), showing the transom without a transom.…

Man, oh, man!
So it's been a LONG time in coming, mostly involving me waiting and handing over stacks of bills...
But we finally took SoNice out for a spin!
It was just a quick one. A few minutes to circle Alamitos Bay to check engine vibration & alignment, RPMs, shifting and throttle - making sure that things were in order.
There's still an issue with the exhaust cooling - it's leaky - so we're going back to another sleeve we have, I believe.
I'll be losing use of the…

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.
