About the Mirage 29

With limited documentation available, the Mirage 29 represents one of the more elusive designs in the 29-foot sailboat category. This scarcity of information suggests either a limited production run or a boat that didn't achieve widespread market penetration during its manufacturing period. Based on its length designation, this sailboat would have been positioned in the popular small cruiser segment, likely designed for coastal sailing and weekend adventures. Boats of this size typically offer an appealing balance between manageable single-handed sailing capability and enough interior space for comfortable short-term cruising with a small crew. The Mirage name in sailing often suggests designs focused on performance and contemporary styling for their era. Without detailed specifications to reference, potential buyers should approach this model with careful attention to individual boat condition and survey results, as parts availability and technical support may be limited. For sailors drawn to unique or uncommon designs, the Mirage 29 might offer the appeal of owning something distinctive on the water. However, the limited available information makes thorough pre-purchase research particularly important, including consultation with marine surveyors familiar with lesser-known production sailboats from this size range.

Ballast/Displacement Ballast to Displacement ratio shows what percentage of the boat's total weight is ballast. Higher values generally mean better initial stability and stiffer sail carrying.
30–35% — Typical cruiser35–45% — Stiff performance boatOver 45% — Racing oriented
33.82
Displacement/Length Displacement to Length ratio measures how heavy a boat is relative to its waterline length. Lower values mean a lighter, faster boat.
Under 100 — Ultralight racer100–200 — Light cruiser/racer200–300 — Moderate cruiser300–400 — Heavy cruiserOver 400 — Very heavy
