We TALK about the Newporter at Newporter 40 Together, another Newporter site. We consider N40T, as we call it, to be the site for all Newporter owners to go to, and join, as a gathering place to learn about some interesting happenings in the World of Newporters

This is a place for all Lovers of Newporters and those who
may have just acquired an interest. This forty foot ketch is from the mind of
C. E. "Ack" Ackerman. He built a Murray Peterson designed 42 foot
schooner, named her "Island Girl," then sailed the south seas for a
couple of years or so. During this time he designed his dreamboat on which he
wanted to "retire" and continue his sailing. Before he got his boat
built he sold three, and thus began the Legend of the Newporter. Come aboard
and find information on this beautiful vessel, learn something about its
construction, ask questions, dream your dreams, and enjoy these fine boats in
your mind if not under your feet.
It is hoped that you enjoy your time in the
Yard. Updates will be made on a non-scheduled basis to add to what we now have here, to add new areas of construction, and to include answers to incoming questions that are of a general interest. All questions will be answered via email replies to those who ask the questions, whether they are of a general interest or apply only to the needs of the questioner.
Feel free to make copies of anything you find in the Yard. You can then print it for a handy source of study to help you in your endeavors or just do you studying on the computer. There's no sense in us going to the effort to build the Yard and then limit its use. So use to the full anything you see here and if what your need is not to be found, ask questions and we'll see what we can do to help you.

Click "Newporter 40 Together" to go to another site for Newporters. N40T is a
forum where you can read most of it without joining. Or, you can join to post articles and pictures, comment on other articles and ask questions.
I urge you to join if you will be going back to it, because you will want to
join some of the discussions. I like N40T and almost always start there every time I start my computer.
