Mirror Dinghy Sailing

The Mirror is the World's most popular double handed sailing dinghy, low in price, light, seaworthy and easy to sail, the Mirror quickly achieved its objectives. Probably responsible for introducing more people to the delights of sailing than any other design, some have even gone on to win Olympic medals, the latest being Paul Goodison taking Gold in China. The Mirror is a real proper little boat, with its deep 'sit-in' cockpit, that inspires confidence for sailors of all ages and abilities, easy to sail but a challenge to sail well.

Close Shore Racing on Day Four

Close Shore Racing on Day Three

Spectators witnessed some exciting close to shore racing in a strengthening  south easter on day four of the Mirror World Championships.  After a general recall on the first race on the sausage course, we moved to the trapezoidal course which provided some very exciting racing for both competitors on the water and spectators on shore.

Congratulations to the Vivier brothers on the best combined performance of the day and to Just Jinger, Michiel Rust & Oliver Gosnell on being the most improved boat on the day.  The Robinsons still lead the regatta, in Mirrorjuana, followed by the UK boats, Peanut & Ship Happens.
