I absolutely love the sailing videos - what grand adventures! I see your Mirror Adventures sailing BC #2 and #3 - is there a #1? Have you checked out the Dinghy Cruising Association?
Glad you like these - they are great memories for me. There is a #1 I'm going to try to link to it here. Posted by my sister but made by me. th-cam.com/video/vNDdkEIOnls/w-d-xo.html
What a great video :) a wonderful story. Did you have the fabric covers made for your Mirrors? I’d be keen to learn more about how they fit. What a great idea for cruising!
Thanks. The covers were made - coated canvas with a drawstring around the edges. I’m not sure if you can buy them - UK has loads of mirrors so maybe there. We call them dodgers - I borrowed mine from a friend.
@@likemagic12 Thank you so much. I’m in Australia so I will try to make one! How far back did they come, do you remember, and how did they attach around the gunwale? Elastic? Hooks? Thankyou, I really appreciate your help!
@@afloatinawoodenboat No, no frame - just tied to mast and a drawstring around the outside which was somewhat fitted. They work really well for keeping wave splash out, plus you can tuck gear between it and the deck. I wish I still had one.
Those dodgers over the deck are a life saver. They maximize storage space and keep a lot of water out of the boats. They are hand made from a coated canvas. Only one other little video published here th-cam.com/video/vNDdkEIOnls/w-d-xo.html
a good little video, nicely shot and edited... but the music got a bit grinding after the first time, at the start and at the end would have been plenty, other wise well done
good videos have you any more to look at at they are so good and the music . so good i have a mirror now just been painting it today . as its been standing for 3 years outside
rino from australia.I just bought my self a mirror sailing dinghy in perfect condition last week ,and this video has inspired me heaps , I keep watching every other day . great video gals
Must try the voice-over thing on my own vids. You make very effective use of it here. Thanks for sharing. It has to be pretty good to keep my attention for 9:33!
I like that perimeter skirt wrapped over the bow and sides. I thought about something like that but had never seen one. Thank you for sharing your adventure!
What an adventure. I dream of doing this but we just don't have the stretches of water (and weather) in the UK for example Portland in the UK is a boat graveyard with a bank adjacent called the Shambles which is an ancient name meaning Slaughterhouse! If you like Mirror adventures ppl, read The Unlikely Voyage of Jack De Crow about a man who sailed from Wales to the Black sea in a Mirror! I'm going to watch more of your vids. Keep them coming please.
Lovely video, thank you, I really enjoyed it. We sail an Avon Scow, 11 feet long, same as your Mirror. I was also impressed with the fore deck cover, which looks great for travelling - all the best - yes, it is wonderful to have a sister x

@@likemagic12 did they have a frame like other spray dodgers on larger boats, or just tied to mast?

@@likemagic12 do you still have your Mirror?
Great adventure. Anyone who has had a Mirror will know how well these little boats sail.
Looks great. But, with my pedant's hat on...knots, NOT knots per hour! A knot is a nautical mile per hour. That apart, well done!
Hahah no need to infect all of us with your ear worms!!
More people need to do this kind of sailing. People seem to think dinghies are for racing and keelboats are for cruising. That shouldn't be!
Are #1 and 2 hiding somewhere? I am especially curious about the tarp system over the front deck.

From Costa Rica central america. Awe so video and pretty nice pocket cruisers. Did you build them?
a good little video, nicely shot and edited... but the music got a bit grinding after the first time, at the start and at the end would have been plenty, other wise well done
i cant remember the words to that song, can you.
@@MrWhothefoxthat that's lucky
Awesome video! Thank you for sharing.
Earl Portland, take a look on google for the book 'The Unlikely Voyage of Jack de Crow', that's Mirror cruising taken to extremes!
this is the first I have heard of Mirror Dinghies and now its all I want to learn about.
good videos have you any more to look at at they are so good and the music . so good i have a mirror now just been painting it today . as its been standing for 3 years outside
I really love that style of camping! FUN! :+)
Beautiful Jewels of The Wild... ! Happy Sails to YOU both. <3 xo

Good to be able to see this, as your other videos have been blocked in Germany due to the music copyrights argument between GEMA and TH-cam :.-{(

Very well done video, like something I would see on the Outside channel. Also, noticed your cool dodgers too. Might be a business there ;-)
