This boat is available, free to a good home

I have a wooden Mirror Dinghy, 29760, that requires significant restoration. It is in a poor sate of repair, I am sorry to say. I really don't know whether it can be restored to good order or not, but I am reluctant to put it in a skip until I am sure that it's condition is irretrievable. I am looking to either give it to anyone that might make good use of it (they would have to collect it) or if it is really beyond salvage then pay the council to take it away. The sails have disintegrated so do need replaced.

I have a note of the sail number. The mast, centreboard and rudder are OK so even if the dinghy itself is not useful those few items might help restore another Mirror of similar vintage. 

If there is someone who thinks they might be prepared to take this on then I will send some more photos in the first instance and they can come and have a look by arrangement with me.

The dinghy is on what was once a road-worthy trailer but this too has deteriorated. It can likely also be restored but can't be relied upon to take the dinghy away at this point.

Rare opportunity to buy a really early Mk 1 interior Mirror. I am selling it as it is not being used which I think is a tragedy. It is a great opportunity for someone to own a little bit of history.

• Mirror no. 45 for sale. 
• It was built in 1963 (I have the paperwork)
• Ian's wife's uncle owned, sailed and maintained it to a high level for something like the next fifty years.
• Ian became custodian about seven years ago, it hasn't been used for six years.
• It has been stored in my garage the whole time.
• I have had it painted and varnished and had some minor work done on it.
• It is in excellent condition and is (to my knowledge) in fully operational condition.
• Original Measurement certificate
• Wooden original (?)  Gunter mast, gaff & boom
• Road trailer
