Hi Josh, I really like sailing my Newport--well-built, points well, classic (and classy) look. Hope you like yours as well. And welcome to the board--might be nice to tell us where you sail. . . .

Welcome aboard Cruisers Forum Josh! Where do you sail? Maybe when you get time you can visit your profile page and fill in a little detail.

I haven't been on the Newport 28 but hope to do so someday.

Enjoy the forums!

I noticed there is a very clean Newport 28 for sale at Panama City, FL. The add says she has had the same owners from day one, you may want to check her at New and Used Yachts for Sale - YachtWorld.com

Aloha Josh,
Welcome aboard! Good to have you here. Congratulations on yor new boat.
I looked at a Newport 30 many years ago and was amazed at all the interior space.
Kind regards,
Johnl

softair,

Do you remember which boat in Panama City? I only see one and it doesnt say anything about one owner.

My wife and I live in Ft Walton Beach, FL and plan to sail around the gulf coast.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes,

Josh
