Windsong
 Most of the work completed by Lackey Sailing involves
repairs to or restoration of existing vessels, but with our
exciting
Daysailor Project, we
cornered an interesting new niche
The Daysailor, a 28' custom
design based on one of designer Carl Alberg's finest hulls,
is a premium vessel of unique concept. Constructed
around a fine vintage fiberglass hull, the new decks and
interior feature classic styling cues, abundant solid
mahogany trim, and a huge 12-foot cockpit for pure sailing
enjoyment.

construction of this interesting boat.

Lackey Sailing built this boat
on speculation over a 2-year period, culminating in her launching in August
2005 and sale to a discriminating buyer in October of that
year.
This boat garnered significant
interest and positive reviews, proving that it often pays to
look past the immediately-obvious condition of an old boat
and visualize the possibilities.
Bolero
 In
a similar vein, during the winter of 2007-2008 Lackey
Sailing/Northern Yacht Restoration was awarded the chance to
create an interesting Shields class conversion project.
The owner requested that we modify the deck and create a
small cuddy cabin in the tradition of the "Knockabout Sloop"
genre of the 1950s and 1960s, with the Dark Harbor 20
providing the most notable conceptual traits.
Initial reviews of the
appearance and quality of the work invested in Bolero
were extremely favorable, and the owner reports that she
sails beautifully.

Perhaps we might
talk about that old design you've had your eye on, and
consider what she could become.
