Free mirror dinghy project
JoelP - 25/3/21 at 09:21 AM

Got a mirror dinghy that I want rid of. Save it from the bin. The hull is basically sound, just needs painting. Compete with mast, boom, sail, rudder, oars rigging etc.

Collect Leeds.

Surprised you can't sell that, their lovely little things.

Blimey, we had a mirror dingy when I was at school.
That was a very long time ago.

It probably would sell, but I got it free and just want shut asap. The missus is moaning about my clutter everywhere!

Snapper, I still have one or two of those whiskies left from years ago!

I built a Mirror from plans in 1976, aged 16, and gave it away years later, i also built an Otter (i think)

Typical 200miles+
I have been after one for a while now

Boats seem to be selling well at the moment.

Seems like some who have saved, not going on holidays need somthing to do.

Yeah, that's a shame. But you're right, there's lots of people who haven't really been harmed by the pandemic, and just have their holiday money to spend.

Have you got a local Scouts Or Guides group near by

Might make a good project for some of our young.

Not a road trailer, but it certainly did have some wheels when I got it! Hopefully not been stolen...

Bump. It'll get the jigsaw next weekend.
