A couple of boat plans I had purchased over the years (but never used)
suggested going to a farm irigation supply company for the aluminum
tubeing for mast/boom. Should be much cheaper.
If it's an 8' - 9' boat, you might even be able to use a tent pole, closet
bar, or some such
For the rudder and centerboard, they don't have to be fancy, just 1/2" or
5/8" marine ply with plain urethane paint or varnish will last years if
stored out of the water. An old ash baseball bat can be a good wood source
for a tiller.
