It's been a brilliant boat show 2026 on the Mirror / Winder stand this year! Happy 50th to Winder Boats and big thanks for sharing the stand with us and to everyone that helped.
Lots of people have stopped by to say 'hello' and It's been great meeting so many people of old and new, hearing their cherished stories of the Mirror Dinghy. Great to hear lots wanting to get back into the fleet, or new families/sailors wanting to join.
With the class going from strength to strength, and whilst second-hand boats were being snapped up instantly, the winter has seen the highest number of new boats being built for many years which has in turn helped to put more quality second-hand boats back into the market.
To support this increase in demand, and as the class builds toward the 2027 World Championship in the UK (Poole), we have an expanded calendar for 2026, that includes a circuit for the 1st time in many years. We also have club fleets growing around the country, with Plymouth and Poole joining the traditional hotbeds of Mirror sailing, such as Netley, Itchenor, Bassenthwaite, Derwent Reservoir, Restronguet and Brightlingsea.
Ben McGrane, Hyde Sails One Design Sales Manager and UK Mirror National Champion will be giving a tuning talk on the Mirror Class Assocation stand, D30, on Saturday 21st February starting at 2PM followed by Q&A at 14:30 and will be on the stand until 4PM.
The inaugural Mirror Class Spring Championships will be held at the stunning Bassenthwaite Sailing Club.
A world class family weekend with legendary hospitality.
The Notice Of Race (NOR) for the Mirror Spring Championships at Bassethwaite SC has been published and can be downloaded via the link.
The entry system is now open (including camping spaces).
