New edition of Mirror roll call is on-line now.
If you asked to have your boat on it, have a look, please, and let me know if I've overlooked your data or made a mistake.
We've passed the 600 mark now !

Cheers,

Hello Gernot,

You could add old Daydream if you like

Sail No. 47719
Name - Daydream
Country - GBR
Owner - Cliff Martin
Comment - Expedition boat, used in and around the Solent.

It's only a battered old Mirror dinghy and as far as the big picture goes not very significant.

Cliff: I thought you were in for yonks, not aware that I hadn't got your boat on the list.
No Mirror is insignificant to this forum and if one does finally go on its last sail, we can put up a virtual tombstone in the "Obituaries" section.
There are boats like Duncan Gibs's (The MIghty Pippin) which are all spit and polish, some which are a bit tatty but sailed fairly regularly (like mine) and others which are battle-scarred and look terrible but are used to varying degrees, from often to not at all. There is a video on YouTube of someone in the USA (Florida, I believe) sailing a Mirror that I wouldn't even dare to take out on our local lake.
Have a pleasant Sunday !
Cheers,
Gernot

Welcome Tom,
I've put your boat in the file but due to a backlog of entries still to be collected elsewhere, I've not made the PDF version yet, so it may be a while before the new version goes online. I hope the girls like it. Choose a fine, warm day with some breeze. Nothing puts kids off boating more than being wet, cold, miserable and/or just plain old bored!
Cheers
Gernot

Hello Peter,
Your boats are in! They'll appear the next time I make a PDF and upload it to the site.
I noticed that there was one boat sailing for France at the last World Championships. The crew was not your family, however. You're not the only Mirror in FR, as you can see from the roll call. Wasn't there even a World Champion from France at one time?
Cheers,
Gernot H.
