The Mirror dinghy is a British sailing icon and continues to evolve, keeping up with modern sailing technology and requirements. The Mirror Book teaches you how to sail and race in these specialist Dinghies and how to get the best out of them. Traditionally famous for its red sails and gaff rig, the Class Association has recently agreed to allow Bermudan rigs and a centre main sheet - both popular moves. The boat is ideal as a cruiser, a boat to learn on or to race in and is admired throughout the UK. It can also be rowed or fitted with an outboard engine and can accommodate four or five people although it is normally sailed by two avid enthusiasts.
