berths in two cabins, a spacious toilet with hot and cold
water, shower and a choice of sea or flushing chemical
toilet, galley with large refrigerator, oven and two
burner cooker with grill, the Mirage has everything
needed for comfortable life afloat.
The detailed specification of the boat is listed below.
•
Construction and Hull Form
The deep 'V' section of the forward part of the hull is fared into a
keel terminating about 5 ft. forward of the transom. This deep V
gives the h!J1Ia.soft entrY,.into choppy head seas, and the k.eel
improves directional stability at low speeds as well as redUCing
crosswind drift when manoeuvring in confined spaces. The aft
end of the hull is of a rounded section to obtain maximum
bouyancy and uplift with minimum wetted area - thus giving
easyand economical planing performance.
All glass fibre throughout the boat is laid up by hand, doubled
on the chinesand in all high stress areasand incorporating woven
and unidirectional rovings where appropriate. No fillers are used;
hull and deck are bolted and bonded together with hull and
waterline colour bandsmoulded in.
