Fairing the Garboard Area
The drawing should give you an idea of how (and why) the apron and deadwood must be faired to be able to plank the boat properly. The fair line needed is the plane between the lower frame members and the plank with that extending to between the apron and the plank.

Notes on the Cutless bearing
Bob has a way of getting me to do things. So here’s my input to the Cutless bearing. I have helped put in a few new stern bearings while in the “commercial gang” before I was transferred to the “Newporter gang" at Dorchester. So I can’t say I’m an expert but I have the audacity to put forth the wisdom of a half wit.
So Eddie is thinking of a new Cutless and has suggested he needs to know how to do it. Let’s look at where the bearing is. It is located at the after end of the stern…

Whipping, and the Life Lines
This has been drawn for Eddie, but the rest of you are most welcomed to study it and practice it a few times. I noticed on some pictures of Eddie's Newporter that the life lines were run differently than the way I used to do it. His are not wrong; I'm lazy and his boat required twice the work than my…

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.
