Thanks Bob, I appreciate the information. I’m not quite ready to buy, darn it. We are still exploring the logistics of storage, slippage, yard work, plus our in-house skills vs those needed to hire out, and so forth.
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. 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.
Bob, I really would like to speak with you, it's fairly urgent, about my rudder heel bearing... I have to cross an ocean in 2 months.. Mleibole@gmail.com
in fact we bought the hull 47 back on the first day of june, 2010, some 35 days ago.
we are having the inside redone, as there was virtually no head, sink, shower, holding tank etc. lots of other challenges from a boat neglected for many years.
she'll be used mostly for going to catalina island during the summer weekends
the check is written.
i learned to sail, racing solings on long island sound in the late '60's.
came to southern cal in 1979, sailed pearsons until about 2000, then went to power boats.
we (teri and i) are taking on a good bones/bad cosmetics/ and basically no head, shower, or holding tank project. i should have some good photos for our refurb, to post.
btw, i need a port hole/port light, as one is missing. am planning to cover the opening in plexiglass until i find the real thing.
i had some trouble on the NIng site, asking for newporter 40 together. they said there was no such group. perhaps it's case sensitive, as i generally don't use caps.
i'll be going thru all the posts before long. thanks for doing all the work for us.
am joining the Newporter 40 owners group by sending check to seller, today!
based in LA harbor. will post some photos as time goes by.
Hi Bob, I'm unhappy that Etoile, Hull #10, needs help but delighted I made contact with you and introduced Greg. He is so much better than me at the computer and fixing Etoile. You invited me in October 2009 and now I am your friend.
Cheers, Marion
I am, with Friends. the new owner of the Newporter 40 " Solace" before
cruising in the Carriibian; I know little about the Boat and Solace she
was made in 1969 where ? I need information, and in the following days
I will publish some phothos.Solaceis now in Marina di Pisa Italy.
Nice to meet you in the air.
yea it was a nice day on the morgan. I lived here as a kid grew up in dinner key on a 46 Wharram Cat named Akaroa. anyway I found my way back after 18 years and I now I have two sailboats and am currently working on a Newporter 40. restoration from the ground up
High Priestess
Hull Number 24
Built in 1956 at Ackerman Boatworks
Lying: Berkeley Marina
I've lived aboard for six years and sailed from Portland, OR to Newport Beach. Lived on the hook for 3.5 years in Santa Barbara as well. I've been in Berkeley now for about 7 months.
Former names of the boat:
Pyewacket
Black Saint
Phoenecian
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:
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.
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.
