Newport Neptune Gloucester 16 Sailboats

There are some minor differences in th Newport 16 and Lockley Newport 16. The Newport weighs 750 lbs vs the 900 on the Lockley Newport thus a 103.5 dPn vs 106. Also the Lockley Newport(Gloucester 16) in that 900 lbs has a 200 lb keel plus 150 lbs of internal ballast for a total of 350 lbs. The Newport 16 has 250 lbs ballast (don't know if that is all in a keel). The Neptune 16 has an aluminum and lead eclased in glass keel with most of the weight in the lead at the bottom. I think the Gloucester has a cast iron keel. While all that weight makes the boats stable the shape of the keel is not efficient and without a big genoa or drifter the keel causes the boats to stall in light air.

I'm thinking once again about buying one of the three (or four if you count the Neptune 16, Lockley Newport 16, Newport 16 and Gloucester 16. Advantage to Gloucester in the cabin with a cutout for a portapottie vs. a hole in the V-berth on the Newport , Neptune and Lockley Newport that could hold a bucket. Advantage Newport for speed. Advantage post 1987 Gloucester for opening ports and glass covered keel winch vs wood thwart with winch hanging under it. Advantage Neptune for a sliding hatch (slides back into the cockpit area) vs the other boats with hinges on forward end of hatch. Advantage Neptune for a little more headroom in cabin with doghouse configuration.

Of course I have eleven boats I have to part with before (or maybe during) my acquisiton of one of these. I just started a new Yahoo group for these boats to hopefully meet others that are also interested in these little beauties. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/newport16neptune16Gloucester16LockleyNewport16sailing Burt

September 2016

I bought a Newport 16 sailboat in February of 1971.   I had fallen in love with sailing when I was in college.   A friend had a sailboat on the bay in Erie.   He asked me if I wanted to go out with him one summer evening and I said yes.   After spending a magical evening silently sailing around the Presque Isle Bay, I was hooked.   I had to wait to get my own boat until after I graduated from college and had saved enough money for one.   I saw an ad in the Washington Post for a boat dealer in Deale, Maryland.   The ad was for a used Newport 16. I thought it might be a good boat for me as I didn’t know how to sail and the Newport 16 has a weighted (150 pounds) center board, making it a safe boat for a beginner.   The pictures below are of my boat at the Tri State Marine boatyard the day I bought it.  

My Newport 16 at the Tri State Marine Boatyard in Deale, Maryland.

As documented by others on the internet, the Newport 16 was only made for a few years before its name was changed to the Baymaster 16.   I’m pretty sure my boat was built in 1970.   I’m quite certain I found a hull number on the underside of starboard cockpit bench during a repair, but it must be further in than I’m willing to go at this stage of life as I couldn’t find it.   A fact sheet for the Newport 16 is available here and one for the Baymaster 16 is here .   On the second page of the Newport 16 fact sheet are my calculations of what the boat I bought cost new ($2,233).   I’m pretty sure I paid $2,100 for the boat, trailer, and outboard motor. Getting a motor (a McMar Commando 500, 5 hp , air cooled, two-stroke unit) with the boat wasn’t much of a deal as it proved to be very unreliable.   I eventually left it at home and bought a second paddle for times of little wind.

Modifications

The original owner had made some modifications to the boat rigging including the addition of a swivel tackle for the main sheet that was mounted on the center board winch support instead of on the side of the cockpit.   An owner’s manual for the Newport 16 is available at Andrew Linn’s web page ( http://www.andrewlinn.com/sailboats/newport/manual/manual.htm ). I didn’t get a manual with my boat which is too bad as I had to puzzle through a lot the setup.   The instructions for rigging the main sheet are shown below.  

The cleat for the main sheet is on the side of port cockpit, which is not the most convenient placement.   The original owner mounted the swivel tackle block and cleat on top of the centerboard winch support and put another block on the boom directly over the tackle block.   Not knowing how they rigged the main sheet, I tried using one of the original cleats on the transom seen in the picture above.   This didn’t work out to well as it made the position of the main asymmetrical.   I first tried moving the swivel block to the transom which made it too difficult to release quickly and finally settled on adding two new blocks on the transom, moving the swivel tackle block back to the centerboard winch support, and running the main sheet in a triangle at the transom and then forward to the swivel tackle block.   The figure below shows how the main sheet is now rigged.

The next thing I changed wasn’t so much a modification as an adjustment.   I found that instead of heading into the wind when I left the tiller alone, the boat would actually fall off and pick up speed.   I investigated the problem and found that changing the tilt of the mast should help make the boat more neutral.   I moved the back stays of the mast downward to tilt the mast towards the stern which improved the balance.   In light air, the boat still drifts off instead of going into irons but it is definitely better than when I first started sailing.

The item that has received the most attention over the years is the winch for the weighted centerboard and its support structure.   The instructions and figure below are from the manual for the Newport 16.   Note the caution about keeping fingers and small children away from the winch mechanism.   This is good but insufficient advice as the centerboard weight 150 pounds and the winch has a relatively short handle so that it will clear the sides and bottom of the cockpit.   There is a lever on the winch that allows it to turn freely in one position and raises the centerboard in the other.   Lowering the centerboard requires placing the lever in the free while maintaining control of the crank.   During an early outing, my wife lost her grip on the centerboard winch crank handle and the centerboard went into a free fall until it hit the boot for the centerboard.   The crank handle contacted her hand in the process, making for a very painful sail that day.   In addition, the centerboard hit the fiberglass boot with such force that it cracked the hull in that area.   As our sail progressed, the boat took on enough water that it simply would not sail closer to the wind than a broad reach.   This made returning to the dock impossible and the outboard motor would not start.   I had to flag down a power boat and ask for a tow which they reluctantly provided as they couldn’t understand why we could simply sail the boat back to the dock.   I repaired the damaged hull with fiberglass cloth and resin before our next outing.   Fortunately, the damage was at the bottom of the boot and easily accessed.  

The other difficulty with the centerboard winch mechanism is the fact that the angle of the wire cable changes as the board is raised or lowered.   The boat came with a brass fitting for the centerboard cable to pass through but it quickly became distorted and had to be removed.   Without the brass fitting, the cable would come in contact with the hull as it was raised or lowered, which in turn, caused the wire cable to fray or, worse, get stuck in the fiberglass.   So, in addition to needing to be careful not to let the crank handle slip, you also had to watch that you didn’t come in contact with the cable, as the frayed strands would cut you.   Eventually, the fraying got so bad I decided to replace the cable.   This was not a simple job but I don’t remember the specifics of how I accomplished it.   I replaced it with wire cable that had a plastic coating which I hoped would help with the fraying.   I also put in a new brass fitting but neither helped.   The other issue I had with the centerboard winch design was the fact that the pass through allowed a lot of water into the cockpit.   I used to put a cork in the fitting once the centerboard was lowered.   About five years ago, I decided to try and redo the whole winch mechanism.   I bought a new winch (Fulton brake winch) that had an internal brake mechanism that would allow the centerboard to be lowered without the risk of it free falling.   I opened up the hole in the deck so that the cable could pass through without coming in contact with the fiberglass.   As seen in the picture below, I mounted the winch vertically and opened up the pass through in the hull to allow the cable to be unobstructed.   I put plastic sweeps on each side of the hull pass through to keep the water out.   The main sheet swivel tackle is mounted on top of the winch support.   The location of the winch is less than ideal, as it is where I like to sit while sailing, but the ability to lower the centerboard without fear of losing a finger is a vast improvement over the original design.   I will most likely enclose the winch as I have discovered that my grandson is fascinated by the gears.

The new winch for the weighted centerboard has an internal clutch that allows the centerboard to be lowered without fear of losing control of the winch handle.

On the water

The following photographs cover the areas where I typically sail, Pohick Bay in Northern Virginia and Kerr Lake on the North Carolina - Virginia border.   They range from some of my earliest sails in 1971 to my most recent in August of 2016.  

Photograph c. 1971 published in the Potomac News.   On the boat with me are my wife, Mary-Alice, and friend, Rich Kirchoffer .   Photograph taken at Pohick Bay State Park.

A good day’s sail is from Pohick Bay to Mount Vernon which about five miles one way and might take two to three hours with favorable winds.

Photographs of the boat in Erie, Pennsylvania, July 1971.   We sailed in Presque Isle Bay but during the day, not at night.

Leaving our campsite at County Line Park, Kerr Lake, North Carolina.   Most likely in the spring of 1976. On the bow with paddle is Dan Spohn .   His daughter, Diana, and my daughter, Meghan, are on my side of the cockpit.   My wife, Mary-Alice, has her back to the camera.

Sailing on the Potomac River, c 2005 with my son, Tyler, and Nico.

At the dock near Palmer Point State Park, Virginia, August 2016.

One of my favorite views: the Newport’s sails close hauled in a decent wind.

Newport 16 or Renken 18

• Thread starter Paul
• Start date May 16, 2004
• Forums for All Owners
• Trailer Sailors

I'm looking for my first sailboat for my family and I. I have never sailed and have a family of four. I have these two boats that I have narrowed my selection to. I want a boat that is roomy enough for my family, easy to trailer, and yet still have fun on. Anyone have any suggestions or information on either one of these boats?  

neptune 16 I had a Neptune 16 for my first sailboat(neptune 16 and newport 16 same boat I believe),Luved the boat, sailed well, and was forgiving of my mistakes for a small sailboat. Not a lot of cabin room but overnited in it a couple of times with wife and kids (wife wasn't happy but kids luved it) Have no knowledge of your other choice. But I know the neptune was very well built...best of luck and happy sails

Renken I was looking for an open 16 footer to introduce my daughters to sailing when I ran across a Renken 18 for sale - it had been donated to a church. It taught me a lot in the 6 years I owned it, and though it was a long way from a state-of-the-art design, it suited my needs at the time. A very safe and stable sailer, its rig is simple and easy to set up - which also means that it doesn't have the tweaks that a more performance oriented boat would have. It was originally built as a "Tangerine 18" in the late 70s, then Renken bought the mold(s) and made them in '83, only to stop production because they cost too much to build. I did about 400 sails on mine and sold it for almost what I had in it, after pushing it as far as I could (rigged it for spinnaker, etc.) Because it has a stub keel it will make a goodly amount of leeway upwind, and thus is not much good for racing, but if you don't mind that drawback it is a fine boat, well built and simple. I would be happy to comment further backchannel. Check out geocities.com/renkensailboats/ for more info.

Newport 16 The Newport has a very large cockpit, easy and fast to rig, very easy and stable to sail. Cabin is too small for family overnight, but great boat for daysailing with lots of storage room in the cabin.

Gloucester 16

Gloucester 16 is a 15 ′ 7 ″ / 4.8 m monohull sailboat designed by C. William Lapworth and built by Lockley Newport Boats between 1986 and 1989.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Originally the NEWPORT 16.(1965) A fixed keel version was also available with a draft of 2.5’.
