Roll Call addition and Update

Forums:

Sail number 70069 now has a name and is called Mjölnir

I also now own 69972 which is called Sundance.

I hope you realize that Mjölnir is a very popular icon of the far-right and neonazi scene in mainland Europe, especially in Germany.
No that I object to Nordic mythology.
I've updated the roll call accordingly,
cheers,

Gernot, Please update the roll call with this new information for my Mirror 20647.
Thank you,
R.Taber

HULL NO: 20647
BOAT NAME:
COUNTRY: USA
HELM/OWNER: Rock Taber
CREW: Catherine Taber
CLUB/TOWN: Atlanta, Georgia USA.
REMARKS/COMMENTS: This past August (2020) I acquired Mirror #20647 which was built in 1969.
Still in good sailing condition hull 20647 was originally named 'C-Lark', and was built by a Mr. Jack W. Clark of Mansfield, Ohio USA in 1969. 'C-Lark' was sailed/raced on Charles Mill Lake with Mohican Sailing Club in Mansfield where Clark was member of the US Mirror Class Association and Commodore of Fleet No 6 of Mohican Sailing Club. Mr. Clark is listed as taking 2nd place in 1977 for Fleet 6. 20647 was subsequently sailed by son Chad Clark also of Mansfield OH and was raced in the Mirror Nationals, Wood Hole, Mass. USA 20-23 June, 1985. From existing records I seem to be her 4th owner/caretaker.

Hello Rock,
I certainly shall update the entries for your boat. That's an impressive history. Not many people who sail older dinghies which they have bought have such detailed data!
Thanks for the information.
Gernot H.

Our Mirror is 59659, named 'Terrapin'. has not been on the water since 1998. But maybe next year (2021)

Welcome to the forum!

I'd be happy to add "Terrapin". Would you send me the details, please? You can click on my nickname here and use the contact function if you prefer. Remember that we are an international organisation ...
Cheers,

Boat name: Jumbuck
Sail no: 2736
Owner: Martin McLean
Location: Brisbane Australia
Club: Darling Point Sailing Squadron
Story: The original owner was Bob Bryant who built Jumbuck in 1965 in Brisbane. My father Ian McLean bought this boat in 1967 and I learned to sail aged ten crewing for my Dad. He was the founding President of the Mirror Class Association of Queensland in 1970. We won the state titles together around 1971. The third owner was Joe Bargewell who sailed at Lake Samsonvale near Brisbane. John Morrison bought Jumbuck from Joe in the 80’s and restored her beautifully, replacing a lot of rotting timbers. This boat is “better than new” thanks to John’s incredible custodianship. John passed Jumbuck back to me in June 2021. I plan to have lots of fun sailing on Moreton Bay, to introduce my grandchildren to sailing, and perhaps even to sail in interstate regattas.

Welcome (back) to the Mirrorists fraternity!
As I've said before, it's fascinating that so many vintage boats are being restored, maintained and sailed!
Probably getting the grandchildren accustomed to a small boat first is preferable to starting on a big one and then "downsizing". My own kids never had problems with the Mirror, but our grandson, now 7, has reservations because he started out on our daysailer and even developed a panic period three years ago when the boat heeled a bit more strongly in gusty weather.
Have fun and send us some pictures!
Cheers,
Gernot H.
