Where to begin?! What a long weekend! 53 boats at a Mirror Nationals, the first time since ages that there were more boats at the Nationals than the annual pilgrimage to the beach at Abersoch Mirror Week, really underlining the class resurgence in recent years.
A list of names reading more and more like a who's who of UK dinghy sailing with more than the odd World/European/National Championship littered amongst them, but this was all about the next generation - either sailing with their parents, siblings or friends, doing their first ever mirror event, or visiting from Australia - and having, without doubt, the most competitive fun you can have in sailing right now.
A reminder that the AGM of the Mirror Class Association will take place on Friday 29th August at 10:00 (i.e. before sailing) at Netley Sailing Club. With the warning signal scheduled at 13:25 Netley SC anticipate they will be releasing boats from the beach between 12:30 and 13:00

Poole Harbour, as always, delivered glamorous conditions of full sunshine and warm easterly winds for the twenty Mirrors competing in the Poole Yacht Club Mirror Open over the weekend of 12-13 July.
The club has achieved a rapid resurgence of its Mirror class this year expanding from two to sixteen boats in less than six months, with no sign of this explosion slowing down! Eight home boats made it out to contest the open and they were joined by twelve top visiting teams making for a fun and competitive event on and off the water.

Sad news from the Gebhard family, Jackie has finally lost her battle with cancer. Not lost, but gone before.
The Mirror Class sends best wishes to all the Gebhard family. Jackie, Dave and family have had such a long history in Mirrors.
