The Scottish Mirror Championship as part of the Northern traveller series was held for the first time since 2014 over the weekend of 22nd and 23rd of June on the Forth at Dalgety Bay Sailing Club.
21 eager Mirror sailors from across Scotland and further afield arrived at Dalgety Bay on Saturday morning to a gentle breeze, sun and warmth. The majority of the fleet were parents sailing with their young children as crews. The youngest of which was 4 and some who had never raced or been afloat for more than 30 minutes at a time. Some sailors remembered sailing Mirrors against other members of the fleet in their younger days. The boats also varied from the latest Winder boats to some boats which were probably older than the sailors.
16 boats from six different clubs competed in the Mirror Southerns at Itchenor SC.
4 short races were sailed in a light and shifty south-westerly breeze in a building ebbing tide.
Chris and Alex Balding (Island Barn Reservoir SC) emerged champions winining races 1 and 3, one point ahead of National Champions Chris and Daisy Fuller (Hayling Island SC) who won the last race. Third place went to Paul and Harrison Smalley (Chew Valley Lake SC).
One of our MCA Demonstraion Boats - 70648, a white Winder Mk3 with a Z-Spars mast, fly away pole & suit of (well used) North Sails is available for charter for the UK National Championships, 11th to 14th August at Poole YC.
