Mirror 16

Its design was based upon the easy–to–construct stitch and glue principle introduced by Barry Bucknell for the Mirror 11 dinghy.

The concept was a relatively light dinghy with a large sail area that could easily be reefed.

[1][2] There were no plans and boats were built from kits provided by Bell Woodworking Company, the parts being made from templates.

Bell Woodworking Company no longer exists and the templates have been lost.

The hull, made from 5mm plywood, was adequate but not strong enough to take punishment such as grounding on hard surfaces.
