New Construction at Lackey Sailing, LLC
Most of the work completed by Lackey Sailing involves repairs to or restoration of existing vessels, but with our exciting Daysailor Project, we have entered the realm of new construction.

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.  Powerfully driven by tri-radial Dacron sails from Hallett Sails, the boat also features inboard diesel power for ease of docking and convenience.

Lackey Sailing built this boat over a 2-year period, culminating in her launching in August 2005.  After successful sea trials, the boat returned to the shop for completion of a minor punch list, before being placed under contract in October 2005; the sale was final effective January 2006. 

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

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.  As of this writing, the project is well underway, with completion scheduled for early summer 2008.
