Classic Boat Restoration Specialists

Our Mission
At Northern Yacht, our goal is 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 and return a neglected classic to Bristol condition.  We are actively seeking new and exciting projects for the future, and would enjoy talking with you about your own project and repair needs.

Northern Yacht is located in Whitefield, ME.  The new 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:

Our Signature Project

Between 2003 and 2005, we conceived and built a custom 28' daysailer, beginning with a derelict 1960 Pearson Triton hull.  We think you'll agree that the result, seen here under sail during the summer of 2006, is a stunning and unique boat, new but drawing from a variety of classic themes.

It seems that even fiberglass boats, when properly executed, can garner the interest of diehard wooden boat aficionados.  Follow this link to read some comments about the boat from the WoodenBoat forum in February, 2007--high praise indeed!
