With the class going from strength to strength, and whilst second-hand boats were being snapped up instantly, the winter has seen the highest number of new boats being built for many years which has in turn helped to put more quality second-hand boats back into the market.
To support this increase in demand, and as the class builds toward the 2027 World Championship in the UK (Poole), we have an expanded calendar for 2026, that includes a circuit for the 1st time in many years. We also have club fleets growing around the country, with Plymouth and Poole joining the traditional hotbeds of Mirror sailing, such as Netley, Itchenor, Bassenthwaite, Derwent Reservoir, Restronguet and Brightlingsea.
The major events are:
The circuit will consist of 8 events with 4 event results to count, with the Nationals counting for double points. The Mirror team (Helm/Crew) with the best result to count over the 4 events will be crowned series winner. To encourage younger crews to start helming, the team may swap round for different events and still qualify.
The qualifying events are the following Championships: Spring, Westerns, Southerns, Northerns, Nationals, Welsh, Easterns and Inlands. To add extra incentive (if any is needed) Hyde Sails have kindly agreed to provide spot prizes and the chance to win a spinnaker if you enter one or more events - the more you enter the higher your chances of winning.
In addition regional open meetings are being added to the calendar including:
Poole YC (Venue for the 2027 World Championship)
Looe SC (A world class family venue in its own right)
Hollingworth Lake SC
Hunts SC (including a training day)
