Welcome!
Lackey Sailing, LLC is the parent company for Tim Lackey's boat repair and restoration operation, Northern Yacht Restoration.  In addition, this site serves as a sort of home base for Tim's various projects and undertakings.

Lackey Sailing
Formed in 2004, Lackey Sailing is dedicated to the preservation of the so-called "plastic classic" boats--fiberglass sailboats from the 1960s and 1970s.  Through Northern Yacht Restoration, Tim aims to provide high-quality restoration and refitting work for one classic boat at a time.

With an increasing disparity between the boats of yesterday and the more modern designs of today, more and more sailors are turning to the older designs, favored for their simplicity, subjectively better appearance, and the overall goodness of the designs and construction thereof. 

However, many of these older boats have fallen into various stages of disrepair and, while worthy of extended life, are clearly in need of structural repairs, upgrades in equipment, and the benefits of newer technology since the boat originally went to market.

Quality Work and Helpful Advice
That's where Lackey Sailing comes in, offering advice, information, and only the highest quality restoration services to the owner who can appreciate the benefits of saving an older boat from the boneyard.

If you're intrigued, please call or email Tim directly for more information, or to talk about your project.
