Well here
After having seen Noelle's Blog I found a short article about South end boats in the Wexford Echo from June 19 2010 www.wexfordecho.ie/news/story/?trs=mhgbeyauid&caf=news
So the group have built Mirror dinghies and Cots never heard of those before so I looked into the Cot species of boat and found there are loads of variants around the place depending on the type of waterways in the region and their purpose, having paddled the Slaney from the mouth of Wexford Harbour to Enniscorthy I have seen lots of derelict Cots on the banks and in the reeds and cant help wonder at the waste.... So the Mirror Dinghy named after the newspaper a working class boat is how it is described designed by a Television D.I.Y. expert in 1962! Barry Bucknell and Jack Holt, relatively cheap and supposedly easy to build at home.
D.I.Y Tv in the 60s! got to google that.
Any way check out this link and I will be back later.
