I recognised the Soar immediately. I live in Lincolnshire but I have spent quite a bit of time on the Soar in my outboard powered inflatable and in /on various kayaks. There's a guy in the Dinghy Cruising Association who sails there using a slipway near the Plough. I might try it some time. Looks tranquil.
It is HIS sailing dinghy, he can do whatever he wants with it. TBH what his doing looks quite plesant and enjoyable to my eye. it dosen't have to be 20knots and surrounded by 50 other boats/yachts - but if thats fun for YOU then good for you as well.
Do you know, I live in Nottingham, bought a Mirror not long ago, and because I want to do some river sailing and I am very novice (just passed RYA lvl 2 last summer but not really sailed since), I just googled "sailing a dinghy with just a jib" and found this vid. How about that :) . I reckon I can do that lolol. What bit of the Soar is that?
Its a nice boat. The Mirror is ideal for all sorts of purposes, racing, cruising, mucking about, rowing, training, camping and passage making.
