Classic Boat Restoration Specialists


Our Mission
Northern Yacht Restoration, a DBA of Lackey Sailing, LLC, is dedicated to the preservation of classic sailboats and powerboats through restoration, rebuilding, unique projects, and thorough documentation with a steady Internet presence.  One boat at a time, we strive to raise the bar in quality and return a neglected classic to Bristol condition--at surprisingly reasonable cost.  Let us show you how.

We are actively seeking new and exciting projects for the future, and would enjoy talking with you about your own project and repair needs.


What We Do
Northern Yacht is located in Whitefield, ME.  The shop, built in 2005, contains two separate work bays for up to 40' boats, as well as a separate woodshop.  NYR performs structural repairs, systems installations, and finish work, including:

  • Full Fiberglass and Structural Repair Capabilities
  • Deck Recoring
  • Systems Installations--Fuel, Water, Sanitation, Electrical, Navigation
  • Repowering--Gas or Diesel
  • Linear Polyurethane Paint Finishes--Awlgrip® & AlexSeal®
  • Woodwork, Interiors, Varnish, and Exterior Finishes

We specialize in full restorations of older fiberglass sailboats, from stem to stern, but are perhaps better known for our unique and stunning conversion projects in which we create what are essentially all-new boats with new designs, beginning with an older, classic hull from a worn-out boat of generations past.

Signature Conversion Projects

These are the projects that set NYR apart.  Are you interested in something truly unique and individual?  Let's talk!

During 2007-2008, we rebuilt an aging Shields class 30' sloop to convert her from her racing roots to a gentleman's weekender in the spirit of the so-called "Knockabout Sloops" that were popular in the mid 20th century.

Recently completed, the finished product seems destined to turn heads wherever she goes.

In 2005, we completed our first large conversion project, turning a derelict 1960 Pearson Triton into an open-cockpit daysailer.
