a beautiful boat should sail forever.
HULL # 46 CONVERTED TO CENTER COCKPIT
Comment by bob mitchell on May 5, 2009 at 5:17am Delete Comment Hey Tony, Justi pulled this add up from http://www.sailboatlistings.com/view/12456 - pretty radical modification. Appears they got rid off the big steering quadrant as well. I emailed them asking for modification details- and the broker sent me this site address. www.rainbowyachts.com Hull number is 46. Broker also said she woould forward my request for info and let the owners know abot this site. By the way, how did you get interested in Newporters?
This boat was in Hawaii and for sale as of may 2009

Bob,
Where did you get those photos from above? Be interesting to see this boat in person.

I still love the wood work on this boat. A lot of work maintaining it but oh what a work of beauty :)

Anyone have a comment about the fact this boat is still a ketch rig? How did they do that?

Ok one more and then I'll shut up. Look at where the water line is on this boat. Must be at least 6 inches below normal. The bow chain ( someone know what that is called) is in the water almost. You kow that it has to leak some. Just my option but there is enough place for water to seep in without adding another.
Blessing

these photos came from tracking down a boat in your last trivia search. If I remember right it is hull 46 and is for sail in hawaii - check out www.rainbowyachts.com Technically I think it would now be a yawl, because the mast mizzen mast is behind the helmstation. The accomplished that by simply doing away with most of the pilot house, turning that space into the center cockpit, and it appears they added an aft cabin. I don't think the waterline is really different, probably just painted different, ie optical illusion.

I think it's still a ketch--technically, I think as long as the mizzen is forward of the rudder it's still a ketch. A beauty though.

I didn't think that the Newporters were built with lead keels until well after '57?

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.

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.
