For the Mirror Worlds 2023, Sligo YC will be unable to accommodate any camping around the club due to the number of competitors, boats, marquee and on site Restaurant and health & safety issues.

So they have negotiated a special rate at The Greenlands Caravan & Camping site which is just a 2 minute walk from the club and provide all the facilities electric , showers and laundry.

The camp site opens up for booking at the beginning of January and they tend to fill up almost immediately and especially in peak times. They are very kindly holding 8 tents & 8 campervan/caravan spots for us until the end of the year. They will accommodate more if they know before the end of the year.

The International Mirror Class Association and Sligo Yacht Club, who are hosting the 2023 Mirror Worlds from July 22nd-30th, need some idea of the likely number of boats participating, so they can scope the event. If you are interested in taking part, UK based sailors are asked to contact This email address is being protected from spambots.

A schedule, based on the 2021 event that got cancelled due to Covid, is here.

Following a meeting between the International Mirror Class Association executive and the wonderful organising committee at Sligo YC it was decided that with the uncertainty caused by COVID it was necessary to postpone the next World Tiles due to be held this year. In the hope of providing some certainty with the new proposed dates, the executive and Sligo have agreed on July 22-30 2023. South Africa have agreed to defer the following World title until 2025.

World Sailing has been asked for approval.

The executive would again like to thank Sligo YC for their gracious assistance and co-operation in this difficult decision. The hope is that member nations will be able to use the extra time to rebuild fleets and expertise that have been severely impacted by the pandemic.
