Nice to see a Mirror 16 again. My old schools Sailing club brought a Kit and we put it together under supervision in wood work classes. The boat was used for training but some how when ever we wanted to race it the P.E. staff had it. Fast, fun, self draining, a nice flat floored camping dinghy with the overboom tent.
Those were the days.

Ps good handicap racer in the right conditions ( shedloads of sail area)

Both will likely be in need of restoration by now but the boat will be the cheaper option.
