FAQs
Where can I get a Mirror Dinghy in the USA?
If you want a new boat you will either need to buy a kit from MSD and build one yourself, or import a ready built one from another country such as the UK.
If you are looking for a secondhand boat, be advised that there aren't many of them in the USA. However, there are usually a few boats for sale on our
Swap Shop page and you may get lucky with classifed adverts in boating magazines or local papers.
Alternatively you can visit the
Mirrors For Sale page of the Ontario Mirror Dinghy Association.
Are plans available to build a Mirror?
At present no plans are available. There is however growing support for them to be made available, so this may happen in the future.
Do you organize racing events?
We are still a fledgling association with members scattered thinly across the USA. For this reason racing events have not proved practical so far however we're hoping some fun racing will be a possibility as membership grows.
How do I join?
Contact us and join the Yahoo Group! There are no dues and no committee as yet - this is very much an association in it's most literal sense. We're a group of enthusiasts.
How do I get involved?
Just ask! We're glad to hear from anyone who is interested in these great little boats and delighted if people want to volunteer to become a USMCA representitive in their area.
