Past Projects at Northern Yacht Restoration

Below please find a sampling of some of the work completed by Tim Lackey and Northern Yacht Restoration over the past several years.

The Daysailor Project
A signature conversion project! Beginning with a derelict sailboat, I removed her deck and interior and rebuilt her from scratch, including a new wood-framed deck, Herreshoff-style interior, and all-new systems, rigging, and canvas. She was launched for sea trials on August 26, 2005.

Please visit our detailed construction website for this boat at this link. Following completion and sea trials, I sold the boat in October, 2005; she is sailing the Maine coast with her new owner.

1963 Pearson Triton Glissando
Comprehensive rebuild and complete refitting, including new rigging, interior, engine, mechanical systems, cosmetics, and significant structural repairs. This is Tim's personal boat.

1959 24' Crosby Striper
Over the winter of 2005-2006, this venerable classic received a significant cosmetic upgrade, including new hull and deck paint, re-waterproofing the cabin trunk with Dynel set in epoxy, and replacement and refinishing of her existing mahogany trim.

In addition, we removed the original Gray Marine V-8 engine and installed a new Volve Penta 4.3l fuel-injected V-6 in its stead. In conjunction with the repower, we replaced the engine controls and overhauled the electrical system.

1960 Pearson Triton
From December, 2006 to April, 2007, we completed Phase I of a major 2-part project on Kaholee. Phase I centered around repairing and repainting the decks, rebuilding and refinishing the interior, and several related projects; Phase II centered around installing all new systems (electrical, plumbing, sanitation, and mechanical), along with final trim and detail work. The final phase, now complete, saw trial launching, rigging, and completion of sailing hardware installation, with a final highway delivery to Maryland.

Pearson Triton #680 Jenny
In September 2008, I applied hull and deck paint to this 1966 Triton; the owner had taken care of most of the prep work and priming. In addition, I fabricated and installed a new teak toerail and rubrail for the boat.

1963 Pearson Triton Glissando
In December 2008, I applied new Alexseal to the topsides of my personal boat, refreshing an Awlgrip finish that I'd first applied in 2000. Since the boat was already in good shape, this transformation was rather subtle; she didn't look different, just better.

1985 Contessa 26 (JJ Taylor) Equinox
During the winter of 2008-2009, we completed a major refit of this venerable design, from exterior cosmetics to new engine to interior upgrades to new water and electrical systems.
