So how rare is Mirror 152? Are there many around of this vintage?

At least two by the look of things .

Nice article on the differences between boats at http://www.weatherheads.co.uk/Mirror_388/Mirror388.html

I'm ashamed to say that I didn't complete the renovation of 388, I sold it instead in peices.
There's mirror 152 on this website - so its not that uncommon; There again, it only takes a short period of neglect for an old wooden boat to get written off. I'm hoping that somebody who would appreciate Mirror 154 for what it is will take it on and look after it for what it is. Being 46 years old having the original lace up parts has to be something special.
