Hello,

Would anyone kindly list all the materials needed to build a 1meter,

So far I have:

Balsa wood
Ply wood

Many 'meter hulls are constructed from balsa and then strenghtened with fiberglass/resin. Aluminum is normally used for the main mast, but hardwood can be used for it and the booms. A lead keel bulb (either homemade or purchased) will be needed as well, and these materials can be found on the AMYA website's supplier's listings.

Thank you for the reply

I'm going to make this yacht a custom design and test it out.
Stay tunned for my progress.

Tom.
