More like 70,000 have been built than the 1M suggeted (See the Mirror assocition site for sail numbers).

Also, no one really sails the Mirror without a jib and the mast in the foremost position - it is difficult to tack with this set up. In fact it is easy to single hand with main jib and a spinaker as well.

Then add this to the article. Don't make a separate stub on the talk page! Grutness...wha? 00:56, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Whoever changed the GBR team to UK team does not know what they ar talking about. There is no UK team, it is a GBR team comprised of sailors from Great Britain (i.e. England, Scotland and Wales). Sailors based in Northern Ireland sail with the Irish team. The UK team has been changed back to GBR! Houlihan 20:52, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Mirrorlogo.gif

Image:Mirrorlogo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
