Lovely boat that hadn’t been sailed since late 80s but well looked after and renovated by last owners
Owner warren golden
Sailed at Sesca Suffolk GBR

Also used to own 47981 but unfortunately due to Ill fitting cover that hull has now been scraped due to rot

Thank you for the info. I've earmarked it for the next edit round.
Are there boat names attached to the numbers?
I'd love to read some experience stories about teaching the children. Our Mirror (62816 - "Puffin") has been with the family since the mid-1980s and the kids just liked messing around in her. However a sailing certificate is required in Berlin and none of the three children could be bothered to learn all the rules and take the test. Strangely enough, anyone over 16 is allowed to drive a motor boat with up to 15hp without needing a licence of any kind. I'm now trying to coax the grandchildren ....

Hi gernot
The boats haven’t names although my boys may well look to name her one day. She is now laid up for winter waiting for the spring to get back on the water. Hopefully they will continue to enjoy sailing as I did and a mirror is the perfect boat to learn in

It's good to hear of progress and we're looking forward to live reports.
Have a happy Christmas and all the best for 2025 - fair winds and kind seas!
Gernot.
