The Mirage 27 (Perry) is a Canadian sailboat, designed by American Robert Perry and first built in 1982. The design is out of production.[1] [2]
The boat was built by Mirage Yachts in Canada. It is not related to the Mirage 27 designed by Peter Schmidt, another design built by Mirage under the same name.[1] [3] [4] [5] [6]
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 27.921NaN1, a waterline length of 21.671NaN1, displaces 52000NaN0 and carries 22000NaN0 of ballast. The boat has a draft of 4.33feet with the standard keel. The boat has a hull speed of 6.242NaN2.[1] [8]
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]
