It's time for the
International Mirror Class World Championship 2025
Point Yacht Club, Durban, South Africa
Worlds Event: 14 - 19 April 2025…

There is a Facebook page for the event, https://www.facebook.com/groups/552308374819680 .
Some spectacular photos of the African championships are already online at https://www.facebook.com/VLCsailing/photos .

I hope that there will be a great turnout and that all competitors will enjoy the sailing.

There seems to be some confusion as to whether the club, the association or whoever runs the official event site. I have found this for all of us who are not Meta/Facebook addicts.
https://mirrorworldssouthafrica25.weebly.com/worlds-championship.html shows a gallery (accessed by scrolling down through all the other data), and some results tables. Not up to date at time of writing and the Facebook group shows pictures of the prizegiving ceremonies but I couldn't find a final results table .
Hope all have had a happy Easter!

After reporting my problems as described above to the club members mentioned on the site, I received several e-mails with select photos and an html file with the results table (provisional because of an unsettled protest), which is also now up to date on the site with even more pictures so that people outside of the social platforms world can see the fun and excitement that was had.
Here are the provisional results of the Mirror Dinghy World Championships 2025 .

My thanks go to Sophie Thomas ...
