| Notes |
The
pairing of Holt with Barry Bucknall (TV DiY expert) to design the
Mirror for the Daily Mirror in 1962 caused sailing to expand at an
enormous rate. The Mirror was designed for home building, using
mass produced plywood panels, and simple "stitch & glue"
construction. From 2006 the Mirror can have a bermuda rig with an aluminium mast and boom (see picture above right). |
