If you're after a boat that you can get in and sail away from it all - well, that's a bit beyond the capabilities of my little desktop 3D printer!

But if you're after a "desktop toy", maybe I can help you out - the attached photo is an early "calibration test" model, to check the accuracy and alignment of the printer - the sails are so thin that they're translucent.

(And if you really want it made of wood - well, you can even get plastic filament stock that is filled with wood, metal or stone, to give a non-plastic look to your finished parts:

- I haven't tried any of these speciality filaments yet - all of my models are vivid day-glo colours so far.)
