The Mirror is the World's most popular double-handed dinghy, with many starting their sailing careers in this diminutive red sailed boat, some even going onto to win Olympic medals.

The three-part compilation DVD, published by SailRacer, professionally filmed, printed and replicated, is a great souvenir for any Mirror fan.
