+Paul Stevens Thank you so much Paul. We really enjoyed the short visit, which really made our day. What a fantastic sail going back, with a free wind F4 occasionally 5.
Another great video, I think a very skillful sailor would be a more accurate description. Mirrors are the best fun for there size and being small they get used often.
Hi, love all the films you’ve made. Have you ever capsized with all that gear in your mirror? Or with the right amount of canvas, do you find her very stable?
Thanks for the comments Rhys. I have never (quite) capsized. I have a mast head auto buoyancy bag to prevent inversion. Everything is supposed to be tied down. The Mirror is very stable if you put lots of heavy stuff in it. But be careful putting your weight completely over the gunwale edge and be very careful on the foredeck. Sitting and lying on the side deck is fine. Also it is very stable if you sit on the floor when sailing. D
+robehickmann Well, hoping to do everything! UK West Country, Isles of Scilly, Scotland - Mull. But of course, the weather is king. Gaff rig is going great guns. Good sailing to everyone this year.
Hey there great to see you in Eling Sailing club. Welcome back anytime. Regards Paul Stevens

My god, you are clearly quite mental! Great sailing, be careful.

+Mirror Cruising Cool, are you planning on sailing out to the Isles of Scilly, or getting a ferry and sailing around them?

+Mirror Cruising That's understandable. How did you learn to sail?
I took two days training on a Wayfarer, but it was quite intimidating, so I bought a Mirror and taught myself.
