About Mirrors
|
The Mirror is a small sailing dinghy (10 foot 10 inches) which is perfect for parents and kids to sail together, or kids to learn to sail.
First designed in 1962, the Mirror has had a complete makeover and is now a dynamic fibreglass boat with a distinctive red main and jib, and spinnaker. It is raced competitively at club, state, national and world levels. In NSW Mirror fleets sail from Balmoral Sailing Club, Hunters Hill Sailing Club and Woollahra Sailing Club. All are open to new members with club boats are available for newcomers to use. Popular Links: |

Also a shout out to our sponsor, Bing Lee, which has been a wonderful supporter of Mirror sailing in NSW for many years.

2013-14 Bill Jaffray Award
A big congratulations and thank you to Stan Bland, who was awarded the 2013-14 Bill Jaffray Award for outstanding service to the class. The award is for his outstanding efforts in establishing and building the Mirror class at Woollahra Sailing Club over the last five years. From a basis of three old timber hulls Stan has begged, borrowed and bought almost every available timber hull he could find, many from Sydney clubs, but some from as far away as Queensland and Victoria. He has personally restored, repaired and rebuilt at least 12 of those hulls in order to provide a good low cost entry for juniors and family crews to learn to sail and start racing. Thanks to Stan we now have a strong and vibrant Mirror fleet at Woollahra Sailing Club, which continues to grow. |
