Miracle restoration

I packed my Miracle away in 2010 and proceded to strip the remains of the varnish and paint off. She then spent the whoel of 2011 in th egarage doing nothing as we had an extension built to the house. Well i have finnally finished the work ont he house so have gotten around to finishing the miracle off and she is now reay to take to the water once more.

Apart from wasting bandwidth with those hi res files, you've committed another crime against humanity wasting hours prolonging the existence of another relic, honestly I do despair...

Miracles, they belong with OK's, Solos, Streakers, Mirrors, GP14's and all that other 50's dross in some special place, out of public gaze, where not entirely sane folk might pay to go and watch how bad things were once upon a time. Some Centre for the Visually Retarded Dinghy Associates And as for those who fit them with carbon bits and make special sails to make them go nearly as fast as half the speed of a modern boat yet still win because of a ludicrous handicap.. Well what can I say?

Thanks for the plug grumpf. Owen what he means is the Classic and Vintage Racing Dinghy Association. You will be made very welcome at any of the the cvrda events.

I remember a Miracle (don't recall the number) going very fast through a campsite near Bassenthwaite. Arrived in the evening and didn't have tome to rig but left the boat without tying it down. A huge gale blew up overnight and the hull cartwheeled over the field into a drystone wall. Being wood, it was repairable, not like these fragile GRP things you see littering dinghy pens nowadays.
