Our group has enjoyed sailing "Mostly Harmless" for the last three years. Our routine is for each partner to take one week with one day every fourth weekend for "maintenance day" and/or group sail. We pay in a fixed amount monthly to amortize the maintenance and cover fixed costs. Fuel bucks are thrown in the on-board kitty. In practice, we generally find we can use her any time you wish as long as you get the agreement of the partner whose week it is.

Accommodations
Starting most forward there is a V berth with separate head and shower unit to port with storage starboard. Next aft is the main salon with an U-shaped settee on the port side, a table table which may be lowered to make a large centered double berth. Under the after part of the settee is the engine compartment which is slightly off the centerline with excellent access to all sides. Opposite the dining area and on the starboard side is the straight galley with stove, ice box and counter surface. The sink with foot pump projects into the salon at the nav station. At the base of the companionway on the starboard side is the navigation station with a large, forward-facing chart table and seat, electrical panel, and instruments. Aft of the companionway on both sides are identical quarter berths. As the engine is amidships, under and aft of the companionway space is huge storage space. There is plentiful natural light and excellent ventilation from the many hatches and opening side ports which were custom to this Newport.

Remarks

C&C pioneered the racer/cruiser in their design of the Newport 41. Featuring a sea-kindly hull built of fiberglass before today's eggshell designs, this boat is stable and sure on the water. We bought "Mostly Harmless" because she sails well. Unlike some boats, she is not designed as a floating party palace, but is built to be a seaworthy and fast sailor. Her lines are lovely and we get a number of complements as we sail the bay.

We have refinished the cabin sole, made all new cushions and just completed all new standing rigging and most running rigging. Her last haul out was in 2004 and she showed no serious signs of bottom trouble. Our most recent survey is from 2002 which, along with the maintenance schedule, will be available to you.
