Celebrate, we scored a slip for Pink Cloud in Hono !
new%20slip.jpg Last week we scored slip F-37 in Ala Wai harbor, Honolulu. Its a state run 660 slip marina (only game in town really).
So after a bit less than 3 years our wait is over, we now have this beautiful 55' slip ( see pic) for our Pink Cloud. All we need is the boat here (and pay the slip fees till i get Pink Cloud here)
I take her to Mexico next month…

Main sail boom track
I had this happen off morro bay when coming down to LA.
Pink has aluminum spars (so i guess its not at all an original rigging configuration). Anyway there is a lenght of track at the outboard end of our alum boom. With a block that is adjustable on the track that hold my loose foot main . Allows for some out haul adjustment ( not that i think the heavy girl needs much adjustment like that). Well the track was screwed to the boom . Maybe… Continue

Wtb, tow behind generator
After much thought we have decided to go this route in combo with solar for off shore. ( instead of a 60" spinning prop blade that would live in an area i like to walk )
My autopilot requires battery as does nav equipment, not to mention the freezer and vacuflush , not to mention beer cooler.
Thanks for any leads.

couple of questions
Pretty excited ! After several months of working and saving pennies Im about ready to spend it all on Pink Cloud. I will be living in Napa enjoying the sights and folks of the Napa River while I do the bottom and get a fresh survey ( we are out of the water since I purchased in Jan 2012). Questions. The keel shows bit of rust at the very bottom near the rudder ( I will try attach a photo) question is, has anyone chased down this surface rust and any insight to share? #2 Anyone bought new…

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.
