Welcome to Lackey
Sailing
Tim Lackey formed Lackey Sailing, LLC in 2004 to focus on
the
preservation and improvement of so-called "plastic classic"
boats--fiberglass sailboats from the 1960s and 1970s. 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.

 Signature
Conversion
Projects
Something that sets Lackey Sailing apart from the crowd are
our unique conversion projects--taking a worn-out classic
hull and rebuilding it in a new vision for the decades
ahead. One such project
was the 2005 conversion of a worn 1960 Pearson
Triton into this stunning open daysailor, which has garnered
excellent reviews from the public.

daysailor.

In a similar vein, be sure
to check out our recently-completed conversion and rebuilding work on
the 1967 Shields class Bolero.

Bolero.
Following a
successful cross-country road delivery, Bolero
was launched in the Pacific Northwest in late
September, 2008. Word has it that she is
drawing onlookers wherever she goes. |
The Shop
In 2006, Lackey Sailing and Northern Yacht Restoration
relocated to a new facility in Whitefield, Maine. From
our new world headquarters, we hope to bring you many more
interesting projects in the years to come.
