When I thought about the 1" radius that high up the mast I found I liked the big radius 'cause it seems it may make the mast look round at the top, well, round with four flats. But however done, I think the large round over needs to taper to any small round over used around the top of the head. My Dad always said there are three ways to do anything, the right way, the wrong way, and the Navy way. I add one more: your way. Which way is right? The one you like. Don't be afraid to experiment, especially in areas that do not infringe on safety.

Yeah, but sometimes I'm slow in picking up that hand! This is really my idea of how to get the best out of the work done. As built at the shipyard, the one inch radius round over goes from the foot to eight feet below the top of the mast, and from that point to the top the round over tapers from one inch to maybe 3/16th an inch. But I must say, Bob gets an A+ for his work here.

Captain Clyde suggested extending the roundover up to the base of the lobes, for a look more in keeping with tradition. Of course he has been holding my hand through the whole process.

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.
