Answer 1

Go to an art's and Craft shop. Buy a block of Balsa wood, you can easily cut the profiles then shape them with sand paper.  It would be easier if you do a waterline model.  That's just the part above the waterline.  It means you don't have to do the keel and it will sit flat nicely on a wood base.  You'll also be able to buy thin dowel material to use for mast and spars.

Good Luck!
