What about Noah's Ark? The first boat ever built and she's mono. Maybe it didn't have a Sail, but it didn't have an engine either, just relying on tide a wind to move.
Of course, ya just gotta have faith it existed :-)
But then there were the Vikings. What about the ships some dude made mirrors to try and burn them to the water line. Those examples are far older than 300yrs.
