I finished this Lillestone First Mate sailboat in 2023. It is in superb condition but I find myself too old to enjoy sailing it. The construction is fiberglass over 6mm marine plywood. The mast and boom are Sitka spruce. Both were built using the “birds mouth” construction technique yielding a mast with a hollow center. The seats and trim are mahogany.

The price includes a trailer (aluminum and new in 2023), a dolly for storing it inside, a full cover, a small trolling motor, and battery.  I would like to find a new owner that appreciates wooden boats and will take proper care of it.  This is more important to me than what I sell it for.

Here is a link to a Small Boats Monthly article about this design of sailboat.  Lillestone is a fairly famous Australian designer of small wooden boats.
