This is a youtube video which shows you how to rig a Mirror dinghy and then some pretty exciting sailing on a small lake in England. The Mirror these two are sailing is not made of wood and the mast is little different but you can see that sailing a Mirror can be pretty exciting. Don't worry....you won't have to sail like these two.....yet !
