Galilee 15
Description
The Galilee 15 is a compact, trailerable daysailer designed by Steven J. DiLeo and built by Tiberias Marine (also known as Galilee Boatworks) in Maryland starting in 1980, with production continuing into the mid-1980s before the yard ceased operations. This fiberglass monohull, inspired by traditional lines for aesthetic appeal and stability, was crafted as an affordable entry-level boat for beginners and families, emphasizing ease of launch, responsive handling, and portability—ideal for small lakes, bays, or coastal day sails. Roughly 50–100 units were produced,

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite. The information on this site is not guaranteed to be accurate.
