Cruising
Mirrors are suitable for cruising in coastal waters - one has even been sailed and rowed singlehanded from Ellesmere (near Liverpool) to the Black Sea. Because there are so many of them around, it is fairly easy to find others to sail with. In bad weather, Mirrors remain well behaved and have inspired confidence in many young sailors. Their seaworthiness is excellent for their size.
Mirror No 1 may be seen at the National Maritime Museum Cornwall.

Famous quotes containing the word cruising:
“I’ve given parties that have made Indian rajahs green with envy. I’ve had prima donnas break $10,000 engagements to come to my smallest dinners. When you were still playing button back in Ohio, I entertained on a cruising trip that was so much fun that I had to sink my yacht to make my guests go home.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
