It would be beneficial if the students could have contact with any maritime museum, model boat clubs, businesses or industries in your area that could demonstrate basic blueprint guidelines, or any patent lawyer or office. If you do not have access to such resources then the internet will be your greatest resource to provide background knowledge.
