TRIDENT-UK MIRROR WEEKENDER DINGHY

The Mirror Dinghy is one of the most popular small dinghies in the world.

It has been available in low maintenance GRP for 20 plus years and the latest Mk3 version has a super smooth simplified look and feel to it. It’s built with foam reinforced with glass fibres and Epoxy resin using the latest building techniques.

The Mirror Weekender is such a versatile craft, It can be Sailed or Rowed and is equally well behaved at all as well as being light and easy to transport
It is beautifully balanced and responsive as a sailing boat
It cuts and glides through the water as a rowing boat with a comfortable and large carrying capacity.

It is very easy to rig, launch and recover, and because it is very light in comparison to its size, it is easily car toppable or towed on any light weight trailer.

Sailing
The combination of the versatile rig and displacement hull offers a wonderfully balanced and responsive sailing dinghy, perfect for those looking for fun, and effortless sailing in a variety of wind conditions.
It’s an ideal choice for adults or children sailing together as it’s wide waterline beam, coupled with its generous freeboard makes the boat forgiving to crew weight distribution.
The rig is extremely simple and the boat can be ready to sail in minutes. The 2 piece mast gives excellent performance as a Bermudan rig but can still be stowed inside the boat making storage, trailing and car topping simpler. As a Bermudan rig the option of slab reefing the main becomes much simpler and the boat can be sailed with mainsail alone without the need for the jib.

Rowing
Fitted with metal rowlocks and sockets and using 6’6” wooden oars the Mirror rows like a classic with enough freeboard to feel like you are in a boat and keep the worst of waves and the elements away. The hard chined hull with relatively flatter aft section offers excellent stability and grip in the water this grip in noticeable compared to other craft when using in cross winds.
We’d recommend using a cap for the daggerboard case to keep your seat and the cockpit drier. The rowlock sockets are fitted below the gunwale height to keep the gunwale comfortable to sit on if and when sailing.
