2007 Mirror Dinghy World Championships

Port Elizabeth is proud to host the Mirror Class Association World Championships in 2007! With over 30km of magnificent coastlines and spectacular seas, Port Elizabeth is definitely the ideal venue for this exciting competition. You are now in the Heart of the Sunshine Coast. All are welcome at the Algoa Bay Yacht Club and Algoa Bay. 

The Mirror is a highly successful pram dinghy. Interestingly, the Mirror was named after the Daily Mirror which was a UK newspaper with a largely working class readership. The Mirror was from the start promoted as an affordable boat. It was designed by Jack Holt and TV do-it-yourself expert Barry Bucknell in 1962. The Mirror has done more than any other design to make dinghy sailing a sport available to anyone. Mirrors are used throughout the world including Australia, Ireland, Sweden, Canada, the Netherlands, New Zealand and of course South Africa.

South African Sailing, together with the South African Mirror Class Association, will see sailors from around the world enjoying a fantastic Championship in one of the most beautiful parts of the world. Bring that picnic basket and enjoy a fantastic and fun day’s events in glorious settings.
