Poole Yacht Club Mirror
PYC Mirrors are a growing group of young sailors, of all abilities who want to learn the skills needed in a double-handed boat and have fun.
We meet on a Wednesday evening and are lucky to have spare boats so come along and have a sail.
If you have a Mirror and would like to get involved please contact Steve Bland (who will arrange a boat safety check) or if you haven't got a boat just come at 5.30 on a Wednesday and join in. Helpers are always very welcome, especially if you have a PB2 or are a dinghy sailor.
