Rigging Your Mirror

Rigging a Mirror (or any boat) for the first time can be daunting, whether you are an experienced sailor or not.  Each class has it's own tricks and each individual boat will have its own idiosyncracies.  

This page is designed to help you through rigging your Mirror, from putting it together for the first time, to buying new running rigging to setting up fancier features such as a "self-launching" spinnaker pole.

It is a work in progress and new information will be added over time!
