The Mirage 27 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass. It has a masthead sloop rig, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder and a fixed fin keel. [3] [4]

The boat is a derivative of the Perry-designed Mirage 26, modified with a reverse transom and a spade-type rudder. This design replaced the Mirage 26 in the company line. [1] [7] [8]

The design has a length overall of 27.92 ft (8.5 m), a waterline length of 21.67 ft (6.6 m), displaces 5,200 lb (2,359 kg) and carries 2,200 lb (998 kg) of ballast. The boat has a draft of 4.33 ft (1.32 m) with the standard keel. The boat has a hull speed of 6.24 kn (11.56 km/h). [1] [8]

Operational history

In a review Michael McGoldrick wrote, "these are good looking boats with a sensible and comfortable interior. The Mirage 26 was the first of these two models to be built. It had a quasi transom mounted rudder (there is small cutout in the transom to accommodate the rudder). Because of its longer waterline, the Mirage 27 is the faster of the two boats." [8]
