mirage 275 sailboat

The Mirage 275 is a 27.5ft masthead sloop designed by Philip Harle and built in fiberglass by Mirage Yachts Ltd (CAN) since 1986.

The Mirage 275 is a moderate weight sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.

Congratulations ! Good Choice ! Mirage is a well-made CANADIAN boat. Produced in the eighties. Have a reputation for high-quality fibreglass and a decent turn of speed, although not in the J-Boat category. As far as transport goes - check out http://www.boatforsale.net/class/default.asp Before you do anything with the rigging, get a Loos gauge. There are two sizes. You might be able to get away with the smaller one - it's about 10 bucks cheaper. Find out what size the rigging wire on your shrouds (the cables on the sides of the boat that go to the mast) are. If the clerk in the store tells you you don't need one unless you are racing - tell him I said he's an idiot. (just kidding - tell him you want one anyway) Read the little booklet that comes with it and follow the instructions when you are re-rigging the boat. Before you take anything apart - take pictures and label it. You don't need to undo the fastenings at the top of the mast. Just undo all of the fittings at the deck and then wrap your stays and shrouds around the mast. Be sure to inspect to top of the mast to make sure everything is working (lights, antenna, etc. and make sure that nothing is siezed/broken/corroding before you put it back up.) When you have the boat moved and re-rigged, come back and ask some more questions. Good Luck - you're going to really enjoy your boat.  

Hi bushrat. I'm wet behind the ears here myself, but from what I've seen so far, this is a great place to be! I sail Lake Ontario - shall I Google Killarney, or can you give me a more adjective-laden description of the area?  

Hi AI, Killarney is at the east gateway to the "North Shore" of Georgian Bay. It's a boating paradise with wind swept pine and pink granite shores with the white quartz ridges of the Lacloche mountains as a backdrop! Oh and the islands. I heard there were 48,000 of them somewhere!  

Sailorman thanks for the tips. I think I'm going to get some help from Killarney Marine and Rigging for the mast as I have zero experience. Just wondering what I should be checking for. My biggest issue is that I am relying on a Marina in Annapolis MD to take things apart. Hopefully it isn't left in a rats nest of gear. Gary, I hope Dave at Bothwell can do the trucking for me. I had arranged it all only to find out that the marinas travel lift was down when the truck was in the area. Dave was gracious about it and all my conversations with him tell me he is the right guy for the job.  

Yes Dave is he, brought a 30 footer from Boston for me. Super service and price. Gary  

Gary you know the fish and chips are good when flights come in to get it. You can't get any better. Usually the fish isn't frozen as they own their own boat. If you ever go in early spring its the great when the whitefish comes out of the cold water. I crave it as soon as the ice is out. They sell it to the locals fresh. Cut it up in big chunks, salt pepper and onion, throw it in the pot thats it, parrrfect!  

We have a Mirage 275 on Long Island sound (NY side). It's a great boat, but there weren't too many made - fewer than 30 I think. There's a great Mirage group on Yahoo where you can find lots of information on Mirage boats in general, and some details on the 275.  

My first boat was a Mirage 5.5. I found it to be a well built, sturdy little craft with a decent turn of speed.

Mirage 27 (Perry)

Mirage 27 (Perry) is a 27 ′ 11 ″ / 8.5 m monohull sailboat designed by Robert Perry and built by Mirage Yachts Ltd starting in 1982.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

I've been planning on getting a bigger boat. I was wondering if any one had any information about the Mirage 275. Also, i was wondering if anyone could tell me their opinions about the boat. Thanks.- James  

[email protected]

i have owned both a mirage 25 and a mirage 27. while i had them, i always coveted a 275. liked the boat lines better especially the transom. great boat, stiff boat, forgiving boat....can't go wrong in my book.

You will learn about the different epochs of the city from the foundation in 1147 till Soviet times of 20 th  century.

Moscow River

Moskva river has the form of a snake and is the main waterway of Moscow, consisting of a cascade of reservoirs. Within the city, Moskva river is 80 km long, 120 m - 200 m wide and up to 14 m deep. The narrowest part of the river is the Kremlin area in the city center, and the most extensive is around the Luzhniki Stadium in the south. 

Bridges in Moscow

Undoubtedly, bridges and embankments are among the most scenic spots and main attractions of Moscow. Plus, they are so romantic.

• Bolshoy Kamenny Bridge –  Great Stone Bridge –  is the main bridge of Moscow . The first stone bridge was constructed here in the 17th century.
• Patriarshy Bridge  is one of the youngest pedestrian bridges, built in 2004. The bridge connects the iconic Christ the Saviour Cathedral with funky Bersenevskaya embankment, extremely popular place among locals for its trendy art galleries, cafes and panoramic views. Patriarshy Bridge used to be a shooting location for ex-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's New Year speech to the nation.
• Borodinsky Bridge,  erected in honor of the 100th anniversary of the glorious victory in the Battle of Borodino (which every Russian kid knows about), a fierce legendary battle during the Russo-French war of 1812.
• Bagration Bridge  one of the  pedestrian bridges with most picturesque views of the Moskva River with its numerous upper-level observation platforms. The bridge was erected to celebrate the 850th anniversary of Moscow city in 1997.
• Krymsky Bridge  used to be in Top 5 Europe’s longest bridges some 100 years ago. The bridge got its name after the ancient Krymsky ford which Crimean Tartars used to invade Moscow in the 16 th  century.

Embankments of Moscow

Moscow river boats 37 embankments, the most popular being Kremlevskaya, Sofiyskaya, Pushkinskaya, Vorobyovskaya and Kolomenskaya.

You can get the most spectacular views of the Kremlin from  Kremlevskaya and Sofiyskaya embankments.

• Pushkinkaya embankment  is the most romantic in Moscow. It meanders along Gorky Park and Neskuchnyi garden and is rich for all kinds of entertainment as well as cozy nooks, including Olivkovy beach, the famous Zeleny theater as well as a pier for river cruisers.
• Vorobyevskaya embankment  is part of Sparrow Hills nature reserve. This place opens a beautiful panorama of the river and city from the observation deck and is considered to be the place for taking serious decisions in life.
• Embankment in Kolomenskoye  Museum-Reserve has a special charm due to its peculiar geographical relief. The boat trip around Kolomenskoye would be the most peaceful in your life.
• Taras Shevchenko embankment  is popular among photographers for its modern Moscow City skyscrapers. Highly recommended for your night boat trip.
• Embankments of Moscow are the pride of the capital. A distinctive feature of each of the promenades is its architecture and beautiful views. In addition, almost all the embankments of Moscow have a rich history and a lot of notable buildings.

Different epochs

Taking a walk along the Moskva River by boat, you will witness the architecture of Moscow from different eras and styles. Archaeological studies indicate that already in the XI century there stood a fortified settlement on Borovitsky hill, which is now called the Kremlin. Little fortress could not accommodate all the residents of the rapidly growing city, and the Grand Duke ordered the construction of a new Kremlin, larger than the former.

Boat trip around Kolomenskoe Park

Moscow river boat trip starts from the pier Klenovy (Maple) Boulevard and provides reat views of Nicholas Perervinsky monastery.

Nicholas Perervinsky monastery was founded at the time of the Battle of Kulikov (1380). The monastery, got its name from the surrounding area – “Pererva”, which can be translated like “tear off” and because of the location –  here it abruptly changed its course, turning to Kolomna, standing on the opposite bank.

Nowadays Kolomenskoye is State Art, Historical, Architectural and Natural Landscape Museum-Reserve, which doors are open to everyone who wants to get in touch with the ancient history of Russia.

Take a break from the big city hustle in the shady parks and gardens of the Kolomenskoe Museum-Reserve. Don’t miss a wonderful Church of the Ascension and Tsar Alexey’s Palace in Kolomenskoye!

Monasteries and temples

• Novospassky Monastery
• Founded in the 13th century on the site where now is located the Danilovsky monastery. After a few decades, in 1330, Ivan Kalita moved the monastery onto the Borovitskii hill of the Kremlin. However, in the 15th century, Spassky Monastery again moved, this time to a more spacious place on Krasnoholmskaya waterfront.
• Church of St. Nicholas in Zayaitskom
• Erected in the middle of the XVIII century in baroque style. The building survived after the 1812 fire, but the utensils were destoyed. Parishioners collected donations and restored the temple on their own. In Soviet times, it was closed and re-opened only in 1992.
• Cathedral of Christ the Savior
• The church was originally erected in honor of the victory over Napoleon and was being under construction for long 44 years. Notoriously demolished in 1937 to be a giant swimming pool under open sky. The current building was constructed in 1990s. It is the tallest and one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world.
• The temple was built in 1679-82, during the reign of Tsar Fedor Alekseevich, in late Muscovite Baroque style and can be characterized as bonfire temple. Each gable is a symbol of a heavenly fire.
• Novodevichy Convent
• The most famous concent and monastery in Moscow, presumably founded in 1524. Novodevichy’s status has always been high among other monasteries, it was in this monastery where the women of the royal blood, the wives of Tsars and local rulers of Moscow were kept in prison as nuns.
• St. Andrew’s church  (male acts as Compound Patriarch of Moscow)
• St. Andrew’s church stands right on the slopes of the Sparrow Hills, on the way down to the Moskva River, on the territory of the Nature Reserve “Sparrow Hills”. The monastery is small in size but is very cozy. It’s situated in a quiet courtyard surrounded by temples, fruit trees and flowers.

In the winter? You have no choice.

Radisson boats are the best, yes.

And only radissons operate in winter (because only they can break the ice on the river).
