Spring launch

[F/V First Team]

Dropped Albatross in yesterday, in the rain, did a little bit of careening today to get the spots from the pads hooking up various systems.

Ten years old and still turning heads.

Very Nice, that boat used to be in Shinnecock.

What a ball buster it was getting that tower back on. Guess I should have had more than 3 guys.

 

[Raider Ronnie]

Nice looking boat, what is it ?

 

[F/V First Team]

Northern Bay 36 launched back in 2002

Talk to me about that tower! How much does it weigh and how doe sit affect boat speed and sea keeping abilities.

Its more or less what I am thinking for my NB 36...

 

[F/V First Team]

All I wanted to lift by myself up on top of the roof so probably around 250 lbs all said and done, that's with seat.

Was a good ride last time I was up top. Northern Bay has a nice ride anyways so it really doesn't affect it that much. Now if it was a 25 foot tower... might be completely different.

 

[backman]

250#! What is it made of, lead ?

 

[F/V First Team]

It's a big tower. Seat is made out of starboard so I'm thinking that is where the majority of the weight comes from.

Robust stuff.

Travis,

Does the original owner still own it or was it sold? The original owner was docked next to me for two years in Shinnecock.

 

[F/V First Team]

Still the original owner, just needed some work done to her.
