Northern Bay Designer?

[benenglish76]

Can anyone tell me the designer for each hull? (28, 36, 38) Im under the impression it is a different designer for each model?

 

[F/V First Team]

Northern Bay 28 - Calvin Beal - Little Girl is the name of the original boat
Northern Bay 36 - Spencer Lincoln - corrected by Campebello Island
Northern Bay 38 - shares lines and influences with our 42 and a scaled up 36 - plug built in Holland, mold built in Holland, hull cast and brought over, used as a plug and then finished off into a boat.

Fact.

Spencer Lincoln on the 36
I think the 28 is a beal design?
John Hutchins on the 38

38 and 36 are almost the same boat

No they aren't. Big differences between the two.

 

[benenglish76]

just curious, now with the 36, what do you mean by corrected?

 

[F/V First Team]

Corrected, some lines didn't look right so they made them work.

Whatever they did seems to have worked, none of his other hulls go as good.
Case in point, the next hull he designed fell the wrong way in a turn.

I agree. Big difference between the 2. I think they should have added more beam to the design. It probably wouldn't have been as fast if they did that but it goes pretty good for a 38.

besides the higher sheer and the larger prop pocket and flatening out the stearn where it was extended what big differences are there?

Mine and Ronnies were out side by side 2 years ago and you could see a big difference.

PS I saw you old boat out today,nice rig.

 

[tunaorlater]

What's the big difference? Thanks, that's a good running boat I wish I still had that power!

 

[Blacktide]

The keel was bigger and of course the beam.

 

[F/V First Team]

The turn of the bilge, the rake of the bow, the amount of flare, the entry, the belly, keel. It's not just stretching the boat to make it longer, wider and deeper. Two totally different hull shapes.

Even the tumble home is different, but then again it's hard to have two asses look exactly the same.

If you are insinuating they took a NB36 and added 2 feet off the stern and raised the shire you have examined them well.

The length is different
the beam is different
the draft is different
as you say the sheer is higher
the sheer is different
the turn of the bilge is different The tumble home is different
the transom is different
the bow is different
the forefoot is different
the plane is different the keel is different
the skeg is different
A lot of these differences made for a slower 38' boat than the 36 but you have to remember the 38 is a bigger boat and it does real well for speed to HP.

They both can be made in the same color. the both are called Northern Bay they can have the same windows engine and trans. I guess a lot of things are different but a lot of thing could be the same too

 

[Hammer Slammer]

It was my understanding that the 36' was drawn by Spencer but john adjusted above the water line to make it fit a top that he already had... hence the difference in sheer then most Spencer Lincoln design boats??

 

[F/V First Team]

There are many tales and rumors. Some of us were there from the beginning.

Just sayin'.

"it's hard to have two asses look exactly the same"

LOTS & LOTS of research needs to be dedicated to that study !

This thread is, in a microcosm, what makes this board so awesome. In my opinion, at least.

Please carry on.

I agree with a lot of what you say, I have never noticed the different turn of the bilge? Also the 38 is a faster boat in my experience with the same hp. Simply because of the larger keel giving room for more water getting to the wheel.

Is that right?
