The Newporter is a 40.0ft masthead ketch designed by Ackerman and built in wood since 1955.
The Newporter is a heavy sailboat which is under powered. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has a good righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is good. There is a good water supply range.
