The Masts are down! Napa Valley Marina - Napa California. I made it up the Napa river without running aground riding a 5 knot flood tide. The masts, booms, and bowsprit are now sitting in the yard. Removing them was easy enough since they had a manbasket to remove the triadic stay. It is a simple matter of removing all the turnbuckles and plucking them from the boat with a crane.

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.
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.
