a beautiful boat should sail forever.

I am almost finished with the step. It is epoxied and bolted to the floors, through the apron. My carriage bolt layout plan worked perfectly (amazing, lucky) . Still need to trim bolts and refinish.
The new plywood floor/low bulkhead across frame 10 will tie the bulkheads together and transfer the mast loads better, as well as support the frames. It also, as shown by the level, provide support for the foc'sle sole. The main cabin sole will go under it, on top of floor 10 like original.
You might notice the floor 9 (only forward iron bar floor - but there are five in the engine compartment) has a new wooden floor forward of it. This is to support the aft end of the fuel and water tanks. The next photo shows how the aft end of the tanks are supported.

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  

newporter.ning.com

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.
