The secret is harpoons.
Go get a second boar of any size, lure it to wherever you have the 2-star pig. Tame it next door. Once tame breed pigs till you have 3 2-star piglets. Recommend you do this in a raised-earth pen with a roof and a second raised earth wall 6m or so away around it to protect the boars. After you have this second boar, go tame a boar of any size at your home base as well, and for preference protect it similarly.
Make a stack of stamina potions.
When you have 2 adult 2-stars kill the non-2-star adult, breed another 2-star piglet, then move 1 2-star adult to the shore. Drop your longship in, harpoon the boar at medium range (you'll need the length of the leash later)
Get on the boat (just yourself, and not the boar), and sail away, towing the pig behind you. If you arent within aggro range of land when you're down to about 30% stamina stop the boat. Watch which way the boar tries to swim and paddle the boat BACKWARDS in the same direction just enough that the boar isnt pulling on the harpoon. When its not pulling you will regen stamina. Once your stamina is full, or full enough, continue sailing towards your base. If you are within aggro range of land (islands too near to each other, near a swamp (which have a larger aggro range), or in a river etc) then keep going and use a stamina potion at 10% stamina. Do NOT stop in those areas- something WILL come and try to kill your boar. Once youre back at your base drag your boar to the one you tamed locally and breed your bacon till you go blind. :)
Do NOT try to get the boar on the boat, harpooned or not- wave action and stuff will likely cause it to explode for... reasons... before you get it home.
