There are loads of these Mirage 28 yachts for sale. At
Apolloduck* alone, there are a dozen at the time of uploading this short
article.
Designed by David Feltham, the Mirage 28 is a solid, well
constructed Thames Marine production boat. A masthead GRP twin keel sloop, she
is like a much larger version of Thames Marine’s first successful yacht, the
Snapdragon 23**, and of course, her accommodation is more commodious. With
standing headroom throughout, and five berths, a full galley complete with
stove, and a separate toilet, she is very comfortable. The heads compartment is
accessible, both from the forward cabin and the saloon. There’s a quarter berth
for the skipper and a ‘v’ berth for the kids or guests up forward.
All in all,
she looks like an able coastal cruiser that could also be competitive in club
handicap racing. If the going gets tough her inboard diesel will help reassure
her crew they will make it back home by Sunday night, so as to be able to start
work on Monday morning.
