Boat Review

The Mirror was named after the Daily Mirror newspaper. It is promoted as an affordable boat and is small, light, easy to sail and transport. It is made from a novel construction of marine plywood sheets held together with copper stitching and fibreglass tape. Buoyancy is provided by integral chambers rather than by bags. It is robust, versatile and easily maintained and repaired. All these features make the Mirror a first class choice for children or teenagers learning to sail for the first time. The Mirror will never be the fastest boat on the water, or the most elegant, but it holds a special place in the affections of a large number of dinghy sailors. Due to its stability it is the perfect family boat for all ages and abilities.
