There are now more than 23300 registered boats.

History of Etchells, specifications, photos, videos, builders, race schedules and results, tuning advice, projects, and boats for sale.

Sailing takes many forms; you can cruise, race or simply potter around in all kinds of boats, on the sea or inland water. It is one of the very few sports in which able-bodied sailors and disabled sailors can participate on equal terms.

The Dragon is one of the most beautiful and prestigious keelboat classes in the world and with more than 1400 boats racing worldwide it is also one of the largest. Designed in 1929 the Dragon quickly became a leading international class and remains a world leader today.

The Finn has the best pedigree of all single-handed dinghy's having been selected to compete in every Olympic Games since 1952

Gradulate Class Association

Originally designed by Jack Holt in 1949, the GP14 dinghy is easily recognised by the distinctive bell on the mainsail. This is thought to be either a reference to the legendary bells of Aberdyfi, North Wales, where Jack Holt is alleged to have designed the GP14 dinghy or, perhaps more likely, it relates to the original manufacturer Bell Woodworking.

Probably responsible for introducing more people to the delights of sailing than any other design, some have even gone onto win Olympic medals, the latest being Paul Goodison taking Gold in China.

Mirror Sailing Scotland (MSS) is a branch of the UK Mirror Class Association. Our aim is to re-invigorate interest in Mirror dinghy sailing in Scotland, which has been in decline in recent years. We are continuing to develop this website, adding articles of interest and news about sailing events around Scotland.
