MIRROR NATIONALS 2007 AT BRIGHTLINGSEA SPONSORED BY ENGLISH BRAIDS

The UK’s leading manufacturer and supplier of specialist ropes and braided cords English Braids, was the headline sponsor of the Mirror Nationals 2007, held at Brightlingsea in Essex between 25th and 28th August 2007.

The Mirror is a fantastic boat to learn to sail in, first as a beginner and then sharpening one’s racing skills in a world class fleet. The Class Association organises many training events for all levels, so it was no surprise that the two days of training organised before the Nationals proved very popular with thirty boats attending, led by RYA National Squad Coach Peter Aitken, assisted by locals Craig Bond and Dave Saker. As has been the pattern this summer the weather for the training was typically wet and often windy, nevertheless the sixty sailors came away improving their sailing and learning a bit more about racing at Brightlingsea.
