Mirror Open Meeting at Shustoke Sailing Club

by Brian Nicholson 11 Sep 2006 00:04 BST 10 September 2006

Visiting crews travelled from Windermere, Ripon, Blithfield and Hollingsworth to compete with the locals in the Warwickshire Mirror Open. Of the 16 boats competing, 10 were single-handers. The event was blessed with autumn sunshine and a light variable breeze. It was the first time Mirrors fitted with the new one-piece mast had competed at Shustoke.

The event is included in the Northwest Travellers single-hander series, though only one sailor present was collecting points for this.
