MacNaughton Associates, Inc - We believe Lichen to be a particularly well cared for example of the 25' Amphibicon Class. These boats were the first and still one of the best trailerable boats. Many experiments have been made with larger or smaller trailerable sailboats with different features but these are still among the very best that have ever been done. They are fine modest shoal draft keel centerboard family cruising yachts for four people. They are not offshore cruisers because of their shoal draft. Accepting this the designers arranged the cabin so that full headroom was easily available and the companionway was arranged for very easy cabin entry and exit. The cockpit is quite deep. This gives everything a great feeling of comfort and easy living. The same characteristics would not be suitable at sea. Since she won't go to sea the use of these attributes makes the boat much more comfortable and liveable than most trailerable boats which often try to copy larger offshore designs rather than maximizing their real capabilities. This helps explain the enormous appeal these boats have. They are often kept a great many years in one family and are viewed with great affection. The design is by E. Farnham Butler & Cyrus Hamlin. Lichen has had 5 of her 7 keelbolts recently replaced and has had a lot of cosmetic work done. Those wanting more information on the Amphibicon and other Controversy designs by Mount Desert Yacht Yard should get a copy of the article "The Light Displacement Controversy", which was in WoodenBoat Magazine a few years back and is available as a reprint in the publishing section of this web site.

What exactly is 1stAboard.com?

1stAboard was created in an effort to provide the best possible price to vehicle transport customers by creating a service which allows multiple auto and boat transporters to compete for loads in a single location. When you post a vehicle for transport, depending on the location, time frame, type of vehicle, and other circumstances, your load will accommodate one carrier's current runs better than another. 

For example, if you want your vehicle hauled from Chicago to Miami, there might be a transporter on the board looking to fill a carrier which needs one more car. This company will offer you a lower price to get your vehicle. Or you may post a boat for transport from Florida to Maine. There might be a boat hauler on the board who needs to get back to dispatch, loaded or not, so they will offer a lower rate to secure your load. 

There are many factors when determining the price of relocating a vehicle, by having a group of transporters with various circumstance bidding for your quote, there is a greater chance of receiving the best price possible.
