I put an ad in the paper - "if you've got an old mirror dinghy in the shed and want it to go to a good home, give me a call".
A lovely gent by the name of David responded. Yes he had an old mirror that he had built in the 70s and didn't have the time to restore or sail it. It was a beautifully crafted amateur-built Mirror - far nicer than most.
The restoration was pretty simple:
remove all fittings
reglue the gunwhales
new bow braces
strip off the old paint and varnish
epoxy all gaps/holes/major joins
revarnish (4 coats)
repaint (3 coats)
re-bed all fitings with sikaflex 291
replace running rigging with 3mm spectra, 4mm prestretch and 8mm nylon braid
source a nice set of Steve Walker sails
go sailing!
Here's the video of the maiden voyage - she's a beauty!!!!
