We listed Leprechaun (Hull 70) on Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace on Saturday afternoon and she sold Monday morning for a full price offer! Thank you Jesus! It was all Him. We had 14 interested people checking out the boat, when I arrived down there Monday, there were 2 people, both wanting to buy her!
The new owner had never been on anything larger than a dinghy and paid me cash and right afterwards left the dock just him and his dog to take her south from Morro Bay, to LA harbor…

I thought the Yanmar was leaking oil, and I was mistaken, it doesn't appear to be, it was low on oil when I took it over from my son, but the oil is full…

My son Joshua, passed Leprechaun on to us, he has 2 young kids that keep him too busy to maintain her. We will be selling our current Newporter "Grace".
Joshua offered Leprechaun to us and she is so much further along than Grace that we couldn't say no. She has a much newer Yanmar diesel, aluminum masts, nice sails, the hull and house have been completely re-glassed over, all new electric........
The story with the boat is that back in the early 2000's she was inherited along…

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. She is priced to sell and comes with an as-new inflatable dingy, outboard, second set of sails and loads of gear.
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.

Welcome to the forum, Greg! Can't wait to see Red Witch come back to life. $2500 for a Newporter that's not sinking is a steal - I'd have gobbled her up in an instant, too!

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.
