In these times we can use the Internet to order items online and therefore a list of suppliers of materials and components used in the construction of my canoe may be useful to those wanting to build their own. This is particularly applicable to UK residents.
Some firms have not yet acquired Web sites, but their addresses and telephone numbers could be helpful; therefore I have inlcuded them also.
