Mirror Dinghy Kit. All wooden parts and fastenings required to build the hull. We also recommend buying a build and coating kit which includes all the fillers, resins and paints that you need to build and paint the boat.

We have 3 build and coating packs for you to choose from;

Standard Build and Coating Pack - This pack uses all single pack coatings and fillers, with polyester resin. Old mirrors will all of being built with these type of paints and glues. This is the most popular option.

Hi Richard Sounds like you built your boat in the late 60's? The Mirror has been responsible for a number of lifetime sailors, let me know when you are ready to build another one Regards David

Hi Geoff I have emailed you Regards David

Hi James The building guide is £28.25 and you can order over the phone or I can send you a quote which you can accept online (the product isn't on the website) If you ordered a kit we would then take the £28.25 off the kit price That said we are in the process of rewriting the the instructions and the UK Mirror Sailing website has some instructions you can view on their website Regards David

Hi Brian Yes we do but don't have a part called Mirror fittings The basic fittings pack has:- Transom rudder fittings Rigging anchor plates Eyes for mainsheet and kicker Mainsheet block and shackle Jib cleats and fairleads Daggerboard elastic I hope that helps Regards David

Hi Martin The best way to find carriage costs is add items to your cart, then view cart and you should see a shipping calculator (may need to scroll down a little) which requires basic info and will give you the available options Regards David

Hi Nelson I don't know sorry, I can imagine it's quicker than a similar sized inflatable as the Mirror will be stiffer and with it's slight V shaped hull will help it get on the plane quicker and give some directional stability Regards David

Hi Rob I have not performed this job so it's difficult to give you a firm answer, I expect the panels will be difficult to bend as they are when making the boat but this will be harder. We could supply 4mm panels which won't be class legal (if that is a worry for you?) but they will be easier to work with and structurally won't make much if any difference as the panels are not walked on and are bent so will be stiffer because of this. You will need some sort of butt straps at the aft end and then I'd probably shape battens along the side panels and bow to epoxy and screw to I hope that is some help Regards David

Hi Graham I think we could supply a gaff rig, I'd have to check, what I do know is it will make the kit more expensive, we can't promise the gaff is straight or that it will stay straight, this is partly the reason why they are no longer used, the Bermudan rig is much nicer to live and sail with. Our two piece Bermudan mast also stows in the boat like the gaff rig. The forward mast position has been discontinued for about 20 years as it made little difference when sailing, I believe this was due to the improvements to fittings, ropes, sails and the addition of toe straps meant the boat was either easily handled with 2 sails and/or the mast could be raked forward from the aft position to balance the helm. Again we could probably include the parts needed to do this but it would make the kit non standard. Let me know your thoughts Regards David

Hi Helder Yes I am sure we can organise that for you and if you give us an address we will look into organising a quotation Regards David

Hi, We don't advertise the gaff any more as it is so difficult to get wood that length that is stable enough for that use. The last time we sourced a gaff it was £400 and we would have to re quote if you are interested. The 2 piece mast is a far improved system where a top section slides and bolts into a lower section and they have a track for the sail. There is no lifting and lowering a heavy spar with the sail, the sail shape is consistent, much less upkeep and still the spars will stow in the boat Regards David

Hi Roberto Top grade 5mm Gaboon marine ply Regards David
