construction drawing mirror dingy

I will build a mirror dingy from scratch. I wonder if anyone has or know where I can get a construction drawing of the boat?

I think you will find it impossible to obtain a construction drawing of a Mirror.The boats were supplied by Bell woodworking as complete boats of kits only.The kits were supplied with a building manual but not with a construction drawing.There may be a more recently appointed kit producer,since Bell woodworking went out of business some years ago.I would suggest you try a search for the class association,as they may be the best source of information.

I was in a similar predicament as you are in now. I searched everywhere for the mirror construction plans but I didn't find any. I think you have to buy the kit from accredited manufacturers. But since I couldn't afford one I decided to build one from scratch using the ISAF Rules on Measurement.

I know it will never have a certificate but I've been able to sail with my own boat and that's what's important.
here are some pictures of my new boat

Raggi,

I was puzzled when you attached a picture of my D4. Then i realized I didn't set the permission on my photos of the "mirror" properly so you didn't see them. Sorry about that. Please try again.

Here's another link to see the Mulan, still unpainted, being tested on the lake in the annual Round the Volcano Regatta.

Sorry about that Eric, I thought the link was wrong, and that the other boat was the one you where talking about...
Good looking boats!
