	A cheaper option is just to buy sheets of magnetic foil and cut out your own. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01BWXZW10/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 £2.99 each.

	Sure you can go cheap, and you can make adjustable booms with drawing pins pointing up from the bottom and cut-off cable ties, If you're into cottage crafts. I daresay, to please iGRF you could make them out of wood ,<g> Get the ones with adjustable booms, not the ones with the stencil/cut-out booms: its a PIA flipping them over when you're demonstrating tacks and gybes; and boom position relative to boat is often relevant to protest situations.

	Dutch Match & Team racing association is probably the best source at the moment. https://dmtra.nl/shop Really nice models, with slightly proud little round magnets. Makes them really easy to twiddle on a whiteboard, and move about. I'm not sure if Noel Allen in Aus is still making his models - the four colour ones with movable booms.
