The Newport 214 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Harry R. Sindle as a pocket cruiser and Midget Ocean Racing Club (MORC) racer and first built in 1975.[1][2][3]
The Newport 214 is a development of the 1972 Newport 212.[1]
The design was built by Newport Boats in Newport, California, United States, from 1975 to 1976, but it is now out of production.[1][4]
Design
The Newport 214 is a recreational sailboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable centerboard. It displaces 1,900 lb (862 kg) and carries 458 lb (208 kg) of ballast. It has foam flotation for positive buoyancy.[1][3]
The boat has a draft of 5.00 ft (1.52 m) with the centerboard extended and 9 in (23 cm) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1]
The boat is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1][3]
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a straight settee to starboard in the main cabin and a drop-down table that forms a berth on the port side. The head is located under the bow "V"-berth. Cabin headroom is 48 in (122 cm).[3]
The design has a hull speed of 5.8 kn (10.7 km/h).[3]
