SEPTEMBER 2008: Mirror Dinghy Class Results 2008
Z Spars origionally made its name producing world beating dinghy spars. More recently, the company has focussed on spars for larger vessels, but we still know how to make a successful dinghy mast! The Mirror Dinghy is a good example. Here are some of the successes in 2008.

Congratulations to the following Mirror sailors, all using Z Spar masts.
