Review Quotes: "excellent pictures and diagrams allied to the easy-to-read text." (Sailing Magazine) "Written for those starting out through to those striving to win a championship. Packed with practical advice and illustrated with step-by-step photographs." (All At Sea) "This book tells you everything you need to know about sailing the boat." (Yachts & Yachting) "Written for those starting out through to those striving to win a championship. Packed with practical advice and illustrated with step-by-step photographs." (All At Sea) "My father wasn't a sailor, but he said to me, 'If you can sail a Mirror fast, you can make any boat sail fast.' And it's fair to say I think he was right, and it stood me in good stead. It teaches you team work, it teaches you spinnaker work, you have to learn about controlling the rig and, because it's not an easily-driven hull, you have to learn a lot of good technique as well. I love the Mirror, and I always will." (Ian Walker, Volvo Ocean Race winning skipper, Double Olympic silver medallist)
