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!
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
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
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
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.
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. ruclips.net/video/vNDdkEIOnls/видео.html
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!
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 ruclips.net/video/vNDdkEIOnls/видео.html
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
Great adventure. Anyone who has had a Mirror will know how well these little boats sail.

Super, good to see Mirrors still going. A great video.

yes, it is wonderful to have a sister x
You and your sister are an inspiration to take on adventures. Thank you for this video :)
Awesome...video was great, narration excellent...loved the scenery and the humour! Sail on sisters!
Awesome video! Thank you for sharing.
`great video! I can appreciate the time you have put into this! The sailing looks awsome too! Good on you!

Wonderful, very inspiring to give it a try!
this is the first I have heard of Mirror Dinghies and now its all I want to learn about.
I really love that style of camping! FUN! :+)
Beautiful Jewels of The Wild... ! Happy Sails to YOU both.
that was delightful. please post more of these splendid adventures
Super video, sailing and surrounding look great! Many thanks for sharing your adventures...
Very good effort and very inspiring
fantastic - very inspiring. Thanks for sharing
I love it. Wish I was there. Please do more.
Very well done video, like something I would see on the Outside channel. Also, noticed your cool dodgers too. Might be a business there ;-)
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!
I love this video!
Awesome adventure!
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.

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!
Nice vid.
OBJECTIONABLE SONG!
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 RUclips :.-{(
Earl Portland, take a look on google for the book 'The Unlikely Voyage of Jack de Crow', that's Mirror cruising taken to extremes!

@@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 clip. Nice lucky luck music 😉
Are #1 and 2 hiding somewhere? I am especially curious about the tarp system over the front deck.
