The Mirage 27 is a series of Canadian sailboats, that was first built in 1975. The design is out of production.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

The boat series was built by Mirage Yachts in Canada. It consists of two unrelated designs that were both built by Mirage under the same name.[1][2][4][5]

Design

The Mirage 27 designs are both small recreational keelboats, built predominantly of fiberglass. They have masthead sloop rigs, internally-mounted spade-type rudders and fixed fin keels.[1][2]
