Mirror Sailing Adventure - BC Coast #3

[@yamascott]

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!

[@geoffburrill9850]

Great adventure. Anyone who has had a Mirror will know how well these little boats sail.

[@chreselen]

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

[@warehambears13]

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

[@MsKarenJean]

Awesome...video was great, narration excellent...loved the scenery and the humour! Sail on sisters!

[@kayakmaneuan]

[@nhnorthwest]

Wonderful, very inspiring to give it a try!

[@nbrandt8]

Very well done video, like something I would see on the Outside channel. Also, noticed your cool dodgers too. Might be a business there ;-)

[@charlesbartlett1837]

Very good effort and very inspiring

[@rangamorlin]

I love it. Wish I was there. Please do more.

[@bikemessenger7]

this is the first I have heard of Mirror Dinghies and now its all I want to learn about.

[@martyjames6204]

fantastic - very inspiring. Thanks for sharing

[@davemakesawave]

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.

[@greysilverback3924]

Awesome adventure!

[@CJSHM]

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!

[@theblandys]

I love this video!

[@briggspayer42]

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?

[@likemagic12]

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. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rH-nlZ57frShotU

[@adolfoarrieta5178]

From Costa Rica central america. Awe so video and pretty nice pocket cruisers. Did you build them?

[@martinseagate1115]

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

[@MrWhothefoxthat]

i cant remember the words to that song, can you.

[@BillOdyssey]

@@MrWhothefoxthat that's lucky

[@afloatinawoodenboat]

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!

[@likemagic12]

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.

[@afloatinawoodenboat]

@@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]

@@likemagic12 did they have a frame like other spray dodgers on larger boats, or just tied to mast?

[@likemagic12]

@@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.

[@afloatinawoodenboat]

@@likemagic12 do you still have your Mirror?

[@wulkie]

Great clip. Nice lucky luck music 😉

[@loki1066]

Nice vid. OBJECTIONABLE SONG!

[@richardd3663]

Earl Portland, take a look on google for the book 'The Unlikely Voyage of Jack de Crow', that's Mirror cruising taken to extremes!

[@Ger1ger]

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 KZbin :.-{(

[@woolstonian]

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!

[@winterroadspokenword4681]

Hahah no need to infect all of us with your ear worms!!

[@bironbrunelle5186]

Are #1 and 2 hiding somewhere? I am especially curious about the tarp system over the front deck.

[@likemagic12]

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 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rH-nlZ57frShotU

[@allanrobins1564]

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!

[@DavidJones-ow9gt]

great

[@PYE172]
