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.

First Days Racing at the Mirror Worlds

Written on .

With no racing on day one of the regatta due to a strong westerly, both competitors and race officials were eager to get on the water and an early start was called.  Unfortunately, due to the light conditions in the morning, the first race only got away at lunch time, but thanks to a well run afternoons racing, we managed to get in four races.

At the end of the first days racing, Michaela & Ryan Robinson (SA) lead the pack followed by Eleanor Keers & Isobel Pugh (GBR) and Douglas & Charlotte Raftesath (AUS).
