This boat is now for sale for £?

I am the current owner of M301. My dad bought the boat in the 1960’s and taught himself to sail and then pressganged me into crew. I sailed it competitively when I was in my early teens and used sparingly  later in my life camping holidays and taking my kids out for a sail or to.  ( I also own a scorpion 663 which was used a bit more than the mirror). It did used to have a mirror class mesument cert as we raced it in national and regional champs.

I haven’t used the mirror now for over 5 yrs and it needs a new home. I am looking at passing the boat onto a new owner who would appreciate the boat. It does require a bit more tlc as some of the plywood is a bit on the suspect side and would be ideal as a renovation to teach kids how to repair / maintain old boats.

  • 1963 hull, this is a Mk 1 interior Mirror from the first year of production.
  • It has the original rig etc etc and had loads of tlc in the past.
  • Alloy Gunter mast
