Questions answered in Mirror manuals
What are the two main rig types for a Mirror dinghy?
The two main rig types are the Gunter rig, with a short wooden gaff and boom, and the Bermuda rig, with a longer alloy mast and boom.
How do you attach the shrouds and forestay?
For a Gunter rig, loop the shrouds over the top of the mast and attach the forestay over the top of the mast. For a Bermuda rig, slot them into the “T” terminal holes or attach them to the shroud tags with clevis pins and rings.
