Mirage 30 / 32
Description
The Mirage 30/32 is a versatile Canadian cruiser-racer designed by renowned American naval architect Robert Perry and built by Mirage Yachts Ltd. (Pointe-Claire, Quebec) in limited numbers during the 1980s, with the "30/32" designation reflecting its on-deck length of 30 ft (9.14 m) versus an overall length of 32 ft (9.75 m) including bow and stern pulpits. This fiberglass masthead sloop features a moderate-displacement hull with a fixed fin keel and internally mounted spade rudder for balanced handling and upwind performance, accommodating 4–6 in a practical two-cabin layout including a V-berth forward, saloon settees, U-shaped galley, nav station, and enclosed head—ideal for weekend coastal sails, club racing (PHRF ~168), or light passages with a hull speed of 6.6 kn. Powered by a compact diesel inboard, it's noted for its roomy beam and quality construction, though owners recommend checking chainplates and deck hardware on these vintage examples; the design faced stiff competition from European imports, limiting production to fewer than 50 hulls total.
