Tell Tales
 
There are many fantastic stories of daring and imaginative feats and adventures that have used Mirror Dinghies - here are some of the best we've found on the web.

Minnie Moltok - A story from Denmark

 

"Respect for the boom is an admirable quality in the serious sailor"

 

An inspiring story of a 100km voyage around the island of Mors. Many thanks to www.woodenboatnet.nz.

 

On putting this page together we were much saddened to learn of the passing of Tony Bennett, the writer of this fabulous piece. Our condolences go out to his family. 

 

 

 

Sailing BC's Inside Passage

 

Another inspirational piece, this time a YouTube video. Sisters sail BC's wild Inside Passage from Prince Rupert to Klemtu in 11 foot Mirror Dinghies.

 

 

 

 

 

The Unlikely Voyage of Jack De Crow

 

"A couple of quiet week's sailing on the river Severn was the intention... A year later I had reached Romania and was still going"

 

One of the best known written accounts of an epic voyage undertaken in the humble Mirror Dinghy. If you've not yet read this book then you owe it to yourself - and your family - to order it today and add a new favourite to your bookshelf.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Grand Feats of Sailing

 

On an admittedly smaller scale than the Tales featured thus far, Mark and Shawn's sailing exploits are detailed here in all their comic glory. Read as they cheat death, discover Donner isn't just a type of kebab and enjoy yet another cold one in sunny California...
