It is now possible to pay your UK Mirror Class Association membership by Direct Debit or Recurring card payment. As normal, it lasts a year, but will automatically renew, and take a payment, every year until you cancel. Payment options are Direct Debit or Recurring card payment. Payment processor is Stripe.
Recurring card payments are pretty well instant to set up and for payment to occur. Direct Debits with UK banks (e.g. Halifax) take about 8 calendar days to set up and for the first payment to reach Stripe. During this time your membership will show with status 'pending' on the website. When payment is made the status will change to 'active'. When it renews, a year later, payments arrive a little quicker (e.g. 4 calendar days).

We already have a fantastic schedule for 2026!
If you are planning a local Mirror open - do let us know.
Hyde Sails have had an fantastic period of performance in the Mirror since introducing new designs in 2021, we have continued to develop these sails each year to keep our product at the front of the fleet, our sails were used by the winners of the 2023 & 2025 World Championships and it is fantastic to see so many of the international fleet now using our sails around the world. This year we have released the new B5 designs, while the same as the B4 in shape, numerous adjustments have been made to the construction to produce our smoothest Mirror sails to date, as used by Ben McGrane to win the 2025 UK National Championships.
Despite the biblical forecast as Storm Amy rolled inexorably across the country on Saturday, 26 Mirrors weren't deterred from entering their Inland Championship on 4th & 5th October at Chew Valley Lake Sailing Club.
This was a combined event with the Firefly class, who by all accounts descended upon the bar once the race team wisely cancelled racing on the Saturday. Four races were scheduled for the following day.
Sunday dawned still breezy but, with big dark isolated clouds rolling across the lake, occasionally the wind would drop to almost flat calm before the next squall line came in at 25kts. This combined with the restricted water (a result of the tide being out at Chew since August) forced the two fleets onto the same triangle sausage course and made consistency hard to find for all competitors. Fireflys being slightly bigger and slightly faster than mirrors can make very effective wind blockers!
