Remarks
Conceived as an affordable sailing dinghy for the masses (over 70,000 of them it turned out!) to build at home and popularised and promoted by The Mirror newspaper (and hence the name), the Mirror Class Sailing Dinghy remains a great choice for those new to sailing, and also those who are just looking to have fun on the water! This example is in full working order and being sold complete with a two year old road trailer which can also be used for launching, but it is acknowledged that she leeks quite badly around the centreboard case. She can be used now as is, but she would benefit from a bit of TLC and refitting - an ideal winter project! Owned by the vendor for three years, "Sharky" is now surplus to requirements and looking for a good new home.
2020/21 Broads Authority toll paid.
