Can you imagine if the bottles were filled with coke? You poison the neighbourhood pouring it all down the drain. Unless you could find the giant bottle of rum to go with it, I suppose.

This needs a 60s style Giles cartoon, pie-eyed blokes in a shed being accosted by angry wife in curlers brandishing a rolling-pin, "but we're only half way thru stage-one, dearest"

Love to iGRF, and I actually here you. What the Farr 3.7 has is as close as I could get it. My issue is funding. Care to add into the pot to create such a product with associated collateral and marketing? I'll take you up on the offer.

Not just Mirrors, there were kits for building a Miracle (which we all know is iGRFs true sailing-object-of-desire) Phantoms and many others. Or with some more skills, build a GP14, Ent, Solo or many more
Not sure most have the tools and skills even for building a Mirror these days. Probably some 'elf-n' safety nonsense about using resin too. And of course the proven performance variances within a class enabled by the relatively large building tolerances necessitated by all this home building are proof as to why a polars-based dinghy rating system will not work

You probably could, but imagine the size of the bottles....possibly would be filled with beer, so either have a couple of weeks on the lash before building or find your local drunk to help you out

Everything I say is my opinion, honest

Why self build hull for a DIY boat? The easy thing is to bash out laminate hulls and supply them with all the other gubbins in kit form. There is a model boat class called the 'bottle boat'. I believe the hull is made of two coke bottles stuck together.....could there be a full sized equivalent?

The Mirror came with everything supplied, paint, glue, tape, instruction book. No DVD, as they hadn't been invented yet. There are still companies who do this, but not much for racing boats, as the market has shifted.

Can't see the box with the pictures but this is the result
http://www.littlejoesolutions.co.uk/hadron/ Comes out of iGRF's favourite class - the Merlin Rocket but cut down for Billy No Mates - otherwise known as singlehanders. |

That's it, Hadron, that should come in a box as well. With Pictures on the front.
