Mirror cruise from Chichester to Langstone

A Winter day sail in a Mirror Dinghy from Itchenor, in Chichester Harbour, to Langstone Harbour Entrance, and return with night falling.

I've only recently got back into dinghy sailing with my Mirror. I keep thinking about getting a bigger boat. Then I watch your videos and realise that the Mirror is more than sufficient for the task. You are an inspiration.

Woh!

The video shows a gybe at about 1min in and also at 2m.50 in. This method is reliable in strong winds. No rushing involved.

Mirror Cruising I’ve adopted your gybe method David, works well and no stress.

What are your thoughts on an Electric motor? I found the gas engine smelly.

[@msf60khz]

In heavy conditions you need lots of power for a long time. Nothing will beat the energy stored in a gallon of petrol.

Another good film, David, but I'm not getting any sound.

[@msf60khz]

Thank you. No sound until 23 seconds in. D
