We have a set of building instructions kindly provided by (sadly now defunct) kit manufacturer Mirror Sailing Development in Canada. They are not perfect, but have been updated to cover the use of epoxy for resin and additives as an adhesive and fillets, so that makes them the best currently available.
In addition to the published instructions, there are some websites, videos etc. created by people who have built Mirrors and these are useful as they often have good tips and ideas.
- Andy Macintyr - Mirror 70021 "Prime Time"
- Phil Rust - Mirror 70362 "Utter Chaos"
- 63rd Windsor Scout Group (Canada) Mirror 62646 "No Regrets"
- Owen (a video on YouTube) - Mirror 70523
We also have scans of the pages and photographic plates of the original Bell Woodworking Mirror Class Dinghy Building Instructions. Please bear in mind that these were intended for use with polyester resin and Aerolite 306 glue.
Please also see our example fit outs (choice of fittings and where they go) and advise on fitting out a hull.
