About Manufacture En Famille Mille Sabords
Ahoy, young shipbuilders!
Mille Sabords is a hands-on wooden sailboat kit for children, offering the chance to craft a sleek, sturdy vessel ready to sail across pools, lakes, and open water. With its solid pine hull and real spinnaker sail, this kit introduces young makers to the art of shipbuilding, encouraging patience, precision, and pride in creating something truly special.
As they build, children will explore real woodworking techniques — from carving and sanding to using a marking gauge and shaping their own sail. Inspired by traditional French boatbuilding, Mille Sabords (“A Thousand Portholes”) combines creativity, history, and practical skill, offering a rewarding project that floats and inspires adventure.
