	Mirror (dinghy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mirror was from the start promoted as an affordable boat, and it has probably done more than any other design to make dinghy sailing in the UK a sport available to anyone.
		The Mirror is light and stable enough to be sailed safely by two young teenagers; it is a little cramped for two adults.
		The Mirror will never be the fastest boat on the water, or the most elegant, but it holds a special place in the affections of a large number of dinghy sailors.

		The Mirror Dinghy originated in England in 1963, after the Daily Mirror newspaper conducted a competition for the design of a sailing craft that would be popular for use by all ages, easy to build and easy to transport.
		The mirror is an easy boat to sail but a hard boat to race meaning that this single boat can carry a sailor from the very early stages in learning to a very high standard of racing.
		Because the Mirror involves many families groups the atmosphere is highly competitive on the water but friendly and helpful on land.

		The Mirror is an ideal family boat because of its stability and ease of handling but it can be very exciting to race, especially with its spinnaker up.
		A lot of the adults start their racing in a Mirror, and then move on to the club's main class, the Enterprise, for more challenging and exciting racing with more boats and competition.
		If the Mirror is used (or has been used) in big regattas or when it is important to get all the power possible, the fairleads may be found, or can be moved to the buoyancy tanks.

		Dinghies of those days were lapstrake or carvel-built and were heavy, leaky and difficult to maintain (aside from using the less efficient gaff or gunter rigs).
		Members of south coast dinghy clubs together with Fairey Marine engineers tried to develop a 15' dinghy, one that could withstand the strong winds and steep seas experienced in the English Channel, and was light-weight, rugged and stable with a planing hull.
