There was a great article about this in the 12th October's Daily Mirror newspaper (published in the UK) and on the Daily Mirror Website .

Winder Boats have kindly agreed to suppy a minimum of 3 Charter boats for the 2017 GUL Mirror Worlds & UK Nationals. They will be Winder's Championship Specification boats with RYA measurement certificates. Details in this letter from Winder Boats, the one charter fee covers both UK Nationals & Worlds. I understand (March 2017) that all three boats have now been taken. Winder won't build any more unless they can sell some of the Charter Boats to new owners (i.e. for delivery after the Worlds). To discuss/arrange Winder Charter boats, please contact Winder Boats directly.
