Thanks to all of you who responded to my request for Newport 16 info. One of
the ones I was looking at sent me a factory picture and data sheet. I could
copy and mail or fax if anyone wanted same. Respond to Gunwales@aol.com

For info

LOA 15'7'
LWL 14'
Beam 6'3"
Draft 9" - 3'9"
Keel 200#
Main 90 sq ft
Jib 47 sq ft
Gen 150%
Disp 650#

Lars and one of the Newport sellers agree on about 1100# on the trailer.

Seems to be between the P15 and the Siren 17. The rest of the descrip is
obvious fluff. Roomy, seaworthy, sitting headroom and builtin bucket head. I
need to see and try to evaluate.

P15<Newport16<Siren17<P19... (We could start a full line dealership! I
would add the Stuart/O'Day Mariner 19 just above the P19 in size, weight and
features.)

I still apprec. comments on these comparisons but consider sending directly
to me so we don't wear out the Potter welcome mat.
