It's been a brilliant boat show 2026 on the Mirror / Winder stand this year! Happy 50th to Winder Boats and big thanks for sharing the stand with us and to everyone that helped.
Lots of people have stopped by to say 'hello' and It's been great meeting so many people of old and new, hearing their cherished stories of the Mirror Dinghy. Great to hear lots wanting to get back into the fleet, or new families/sailors wanting to join.
This year the Mirror Class Association had stand L10 at the dinghy show and, thanks to TridentUK & Ginger Boats, were able to exhibit the new TridentUK epoxy/foam sandwich Mirror. As ever the stand was reasonably busy with many old friends of the class, and some new faces, stopping by for a chat. Thanks to Steve Bland from Poole YC & Chris Balding from Island Barn SC for helping with the stand on Saturday & Sunday respectively.
Thanks to Harken and Hyde Sails, this year there will be a Winder Mirror on the Harken stand, E10.

Thanks to Harken and P&B, this year there was a Winder Mirror on the Harken stand. There was also a 50 year old Mirror, 'Oranges' adapted with a pop-up tent for sleeping, on the Dinghy Cruising Association stand.
The RYA Suzuki Dinghy Show 2020, in association with Yachts and Yachting, is held at the magnificent Alexandra Palace in London over the weekend of 29th February & 1st March. This year, thanks to P&B and Harken, there will be a 2019 Winder Mirror, fitted out by P&B for 2015 National Champion Dave Wade with all the latest systems and upgrades on the Harken stand, B50.
