The LYSANDER trailer-sailer was designed specifically for home construction by the amateur using marine ply panels laid on frames. The standard boat is 17′(5.18m) long though many ‘stretched’ 19′ (5.8m) versions have been built. The original design was gunter rigged to facilitate trailing but over the years Bermudan, cutter, gaff and even junk rig variants have been used. Some later boats were built of fiberglass (by Febris Marine UK). Plans for the home builder are still available through the class association.
Some versions have a daggerboard instead of a centerboard.
Thanks to CP 14 owner Rick M. for providing corrected information.

The MIRROR was designed for home building, using the sheet plywood. “stitch & glue” method. The concept was initiated by BBC TV DIY expert, Barry Bucknell who built his own boat upon which Jack Holt based the final hull design. The name and the red sails were the idea of the sponsor of the project, ‘The Daily Mirror’ newspaper. (The front page of the Mirror was always printed in red.)
One of the most popular sailing dinghies in the UK, also has a presence in Australia.
A fiberglass MkIII version (2007) has a re-designed layout(by Phil Morrison)and Bermudian/Marconi sloop rig.
