MIRAGE 275

About the MIRAGE 275

Wing keel version: Draft: 3.50' / 1.07m

Designed by Philip Harle and built by Mirage Yachts (CAN) in 1986, the Mirage 275 is a compact coastal cruiser with a production count that remains unverified in available records. This single-year production run resulted in a specific vintage of boat characterized by its 27.5 ft LOA and 6800.0 lb displacement.

Best for:

This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a manageable 27.5 ft footprint and moderate performance, as indicated by its 14.94 SA/D ratio. It is well-suited for those seeking a classic 1980s design with a masthead sloop rig, provided they are comfortable with the maintenance requirements of older fiberglass construction.

Bluewater capability:

With a capsize ratio of 2.08 and a comfort ratio of 20.86, the Mirage 275 is primarily designed for coastal cruising rather than extended bluewater passages. Its 6800.0 lb displacement and fin keel provide adequate stability for protected waters but lack the heavy displacement typically preferred for serious offshore voyaging.

Comparables:

Comparable boats include the Catalina 27 and O'Day 27, which share similar length overall and coastal cruising roles from the same era. These vessels offer similar displacement and beam characteristics, making them direct competitors for buyers seeking a 27-foot trailerable or coastal cruiser.
