Mirror Dinghy

The Mirror is a two-person training and family dinghy designed by Jack Holt and the television presenter Barry Bucknell in 1962, 3.30 m (10 ft 10 in) long, originally built from stitch-and-glue plywood for home construction and promoted by the UK Daily Mirror newspaper, which gave it its name and red sails. It uses a gunter rig, daggerboard, mainsail, jib, and spinnaker and is a strict one-design with World Sailing International Class status. Over 70,000 have been built. It is not an Olympic class.
