A well-maintained wooden sailboat can last anywhere from 30 to 50 years, or even longer, depending on several factors. The longevity of a wooden sailboat primarily depends on the quality of the wood, the craftsmanship, and how well the boat is cared for over time.

Regular maintenance, such as repainting, varnishing, and protecting the wood from water damage and rot, is essential for extending its lifespan.

Boats made with high-quality, rot-resistant wood like teak or mahogany, and those stored properly when not in use, tend to last significantly longer.

With proper care, a wooden sailboat can provide decades of reliable service on the water!
