The BASELINE is a line parallel to the base of the scarf jig. I did mine 6" up and it worked fine. The purpose of the baseline is to make sure that the base of the jig is parallel to the stave that is being scarfed because the new stave will have been cut with the jig base parallel to it. Remember, you are in the curved section of the mast, so if you just clamp the scarf jig on you will end up not getting a 1 to12 scarf. The jig is clamped in the back, so just take some door shims and slide them in between the jig and the mast from the front until the baseline reads the same at the front and back. The baselines on each side should also be the same. Once set up clamp across the sides at the front of the jig.

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.
