What year is this model?

Just bought the same one and this video was very helpful. Thanks.

Looks well thought out! Thank you for sharing-also, good choice on the new cushion fabric.

Nice...😎

I enjoy using small motors, dose your Yamaha have the means to use an external fuel tank? Gracias for the video.

Hey - I saw this disappear from boatsonline -- does that mean you sold it ? or abandoned selling it?

NO mention of heads facilties

As soon I turn the choke off, the engine shuts. Half way is ok, but not fully closed. Cleaned the carburetor, but the problem still exists. Thanks

That guy at 0:30 seems really cool!

Got this as an auxiliary

Very nicely done :)

hello, can you navigate the long voyages with this sailboat?

Explain the water pump and filter. Sound cut out.

My number one gripe that I just can't get over every single time I see this boat is, black... really? Who thought black and white was a good choice?

What size fridge do you have in there ?

Bought ours new in 1998.. wonderful rig.. hauled it from Alberta to and sailed the PNW and and many lakes between and the GREAT Lakes and the Welland Canal.. Now we have a Catalina 380 as well in Gibsons BC Shes been almost everywhere man

I'm kind of looking at one of these units in a Marine Surplus Store (the unit I'm looking at also has a small oven). Hi reliable are they, what are they worth ($US)?

y really loved that boat is really perfect

any thought about the 26X vs the 26M??

thanks a lot for the tutorial. very very helpful

These things wont die! I have the same 🤟

Very nice. Thanks for sharing. I used to own a Mirror Dinghy.

Thanks for taking the time to give us all a good looksee. You keep it nice. I've got a 2001 here in Virginia in the USA, but it's nowhere near as clean and shipshape. You mention having a Danforth anchor in that tiny locker up on the bow. I'd like to have seen that. I can only wonder what size might even fit in there, unless you modded the locker somehow. I've got a Fortress FX-11, but hold it underway in an 8 inch (about 20 cm) PVC pipe held vertically onto one of those starboard bow railings with three big stainless hose clamps. I think I may have that same bow roller. Anyhow, take care and thanks again! I'm gonna go check out your other offerings now.

Nice video - but what does she sail like - ? I know it’s a compromise- and always there is a trade off ?

This boat is ideal for shallow bays

I have one of these. It is brilliant on the boat. Does anyone know if the burners or just the tray on the base can be replaced?

Year of manufacture please ?

Gday how much for the motor

How much would a 1998 26X be worth?

Nice boat

Awesome boat, I love the shallow draft

thank you!

Very nice! Thumbs up from Ireland ! :)

I have a 1966 mirror to repair with my Dad. It's currently a rear mainsheet and uses a gaff rig. Will i be able to add a centre main on it?

just got one of these things , couldnt see from your video what you were doing with the dials, you open one and let some liquid runn out then close it, light the liquid, then what .... ?

Have the same outboard, what edge is your one?

how much time i need to let the choke knob open before closing it ?

woah, your jib is way too high...

Brilliant job. Ive done the same with my Dads old Mirror. That boat is from 1975 and now afloat again.

Looks just like my Mariner.

how do your jib sheets work? is there a camcleat on the rails mounted on the gunwales, or something more central? Very smart Mirror, keep up the good work....

Hi Ric, nice job. I'm doing something similar here in Adelaide - I bought an old OLD mirror for $150 and I'm 'resuscitating' it (not a full restoration). If you trip over a spare mainsail in your travels please let me know, the one I have has been butchered by a previous owner so I'm on the scrounge. Cheers mate, Bruce. There's a thread about it on the WoodenBoat magazine forum but youtube won't let me post a link

Hi Keith, Where I repaired or built new pieces I epoxied the joins. After that just a good sanding and then two coats of undercoat and two coats of topcoat on the whole boat. Because the boat isn't designed to sit in the water for long periods of time creating a waterproof seal of all the timber using epoxy isn't required. Paint is enough. Cheers

yes I love to sail my mirror it gets me away from the wife makes me free

do you put epoxy on the old wood 1st then norglass over the top . then do you put just one cote on or 2 or 3 on please

Very nice mate...we got the Mirror out again this season. So much fun with the kids! Maybe see you on the water sometime. Cheers, AMac

paint job looks class

For the next chapter in Wombat's career, see the video response. A few more scratch on the hull from arguing with rocks but otherwise in a fine shape.

Great video, I just bought a mirror which needs a tidy up. Great to recognise the Albert Park too and some Australian mirror sailing. What a great boat for your kids to learn on and get them involved!

I have the same engine, my brother said to me i cant use the engine untill i learn how to use it properly. This video was really helpful hope i can start it! :)
