Detailed below are a series of suppliers, associations, shops etc that may be of help to you with either getting started of sorting out your existing boat. Many are specifically aimed at IOM designs and suppliers. We are in not saying these are the best, but they mostly are organisations, businesses etc that some of our members have used and were happy with. There will be many more that we have missed of and may be excellent.

Helpful hints, photos etc on "Building a Model Yacht", by people who have built their own boat, either in wood or glass fibre and epoxy resin or both:

How to build your own IOM by Simon Robinson site still in construction - but it shows both building in GRP and in Wood:

Shows building a wooden plug and taking a wrap around fibreglass plug from that. The pictures shown are not an IOM, but the principle is the same:
