A great resource...

Jamestown Distributors is really an amazing store as they pretty much have it all and actually know the gear and boatbuilding supplies they sell. Fact is when we were building our various cruising boats in France we ordered all of our fastenings (bronze ring nails), hinges and quite a few tools from them and always got great service...

They also have a great boat building blog in the JD Workshop Weblog which is a excellent place to learn new boat building tricks and methods. They currently are rebuilding an old Mako center console but a lot of the content is just as relevant to rebuilding a classic plastic sailboat as well... Good stuff!
