Launching a reluctant mirror dingy

[jigmesam]

Into the wind, boys, into the incoming waves

I LIKE THAT IT LOOKS SO LITE . TOO MUCH WIND ....CAREFUL BOAT MIGHT FLY AWAY.

WOW! I'm scared to get a dinghy now!

LOL. Well spotted!  also if you listen carefully at the beginning of the video you can defiantely hear an outboard motor but I can't see it.

@SH4DYBR4DY Shouldn't make too much of a difference. Boat will still sail well.

[SH4DYBR4DY]

@zkenzo i know, but if the boom is swinging down the middle of the boat at head to wind durin launching or recovery itthe kicker will catch on the board, which could damage it.which is why the front edge has a cut-off corner

[sebbbo77]

Too rough !!

[SH4DYBR4DY]

@sebbbo77 not at all! ive sailed mirrors in worse

Well done! Strewth, all your hard work could have come to nothing then suddenly you are away. Is Osborne Bay on the Isle of Wight?
