That's only the flyaway system, admittedly most of the top boats have it for the cool factor, tisn't really necessary though.
Splosh, the old style fibreglass ones may look ok but they're not as strong/stiff as wooden ones. Can't say the same for the new Mk 4 though, those are a completely different construction. But you can't say that a plastic/glass boat looks nicer than a well looked after wooden boat! Most of the top boats are wooden too. They also last/stay stiffer longer. |

Very good piece on rigging the pole on the class website: http://www.ukmirrorsailing.com/Technical/FlyAwaySpinny/FlyAw aySpinny.htm My 6 year old can manage the kite on a gentle day, and my 9 year old loves it when it's blowing old boots. |

sort. and please nobody have go at me for saying skiff) or in my case: topper - vortex  was quite a big jump.

The fibreglass ones do look very nice, i couldn't stand a wooden one tho. Most young 'uns around here go for the cadet tho, dunno why, horrible little things. |

Actuakky the spinnaker is nearly as big as the main, (shouldn't be admitting that!) and is quite a handful in a blow... specially for young 'uns

our club was given a relatively new mirror to use for training after holding the nationals at our club this year. they look really nice boats. i just personally wouldnt like to sail one as the look quite small. it does really well on handicap in light winds though.....

they are commonly known as teatowls only joking, its a reasonable size for the size of people who normally sail the boats |
