The boat was built by Mirage Yachts in Canada, but it is now out of production. Only a small number were built.[1]

The Mirage 30 SX design is not related to the Mirage 30, but is instead a lightweight development of the Kirby 30, with a deeper elliptical shaped keel, a new rudder and a racing interior.[1]

Design

The Mirage 30 SX is a small racing keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop rig, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 5,900 lb (2,676 kg).[1][2]

The boat has a draft of 5.89 ft (1.80 m) with the standard keel. It is fitted with a Bukh DB 8 diesel engine.[1]

The boat has a PHRF racing average handicap of 114 with a high of 108 and low of 120. It has a hull speed of 6.58 kn (12.19 km/h).[2]

gollark: It should work. This is inexcusable. If this continues I may be forced to do a neck transplant.
