Mirage 2700 (UK)

Mirage 2700 (UK) is a 25 ′ 5 ″ / 7.8 m monohull sailboat designed by Feltham/Thames Marine and built by Thames Marine starting in 1979.

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)

It is thought that the MIRAGE 2700 is based on the hull of the Feltham designed MIRAGE 28, but with a raised deck and truncated stern. Similar to the LEISURE 27SL. Available with a fin keel, draft: 1.44m / 5ft

Broker's Comments

In her day the Mirage 2700 was considered to be a spacious and well behaved fast family cruiser and is a development of the well regarded Leisure 27SL. Whilst she is a roomy, sound and capable vessel, with the ability to take the ground and more than capable of cross channnel passagemaking, she will also give her owner some reasonable club racing. This yacht would now benefit from a timely, but probably largely cosmetic, refit. Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.

Broker's Comments

The Mirage 2700 is a sturdy bilge keeler with 6 foot head room and a deep cockpit.

The boat benefits from a well maintained engine and relatively modern navigational aids. There is a tiller assist style auto pilot and stack-pack with lazy jacks, all contributing to a simple and safe set-up.

Sails and running rigging are in a used but usable state. The topside and deck appear in a good state of repair.

The galley has a newly installed cooker/oven unit and plenty of storage space.

A practical, sub 30 footer, capable of drying and ideally set for simple, enjoyable coastal cruising.

Leisure Owners Association

Dedicated to supporting owners of Leisure yachts around the world

Leisure 27 SL

The Leisure 27SL is actually a Mirage 270, built by Thames Marine and marketed by Boating Scene of Basildon, Essex under the Leisure name in 1989. The Leisure Owners Association has no record of the number built and a number of customers bought their boats to fit out for DIY finishing.

Leisure 27 S L Sailing

Leisure 27SL Sailing

The majority were twin keel. The Leisure 27SL is rigged as a masthead sloop, with an aluminium mast and boom. Standing rigging is conventional stainless steel wire, whilst the running rigging is Terylene rope. The yachts are often fitted with head-sail reefing systems. Sheet and halyard winches are fitted, with the latter on the coach roof. The main-sheet traveller is mounted on the bridge deck and so runs across the companionway entrance. Interestingly, the Mirage 270/Leisure 27SL mainsail is 155 ft 2 , but the mainsail on the original Cobramold Leisure 27 is just 128 ft 2 .

The supplied plough anchor is normally stowed on the fore-deck. A boarding ladder is fitted to the transom and most boats are fitted with the optional stainless steel handrail on the coach roof to permit safe working around the mast.

The standard engine is a Volvo 2001 9.5 hp diesel with an option for a Volvo Penta 2002 18 hp, fitted to a shaft drive with a fixed propeller. Two batteries are normally fitted, charging from the engine alternator.

Accommodation

The standard is six berths in two cabins, with approximately 6 ft headroom. Only the interior design differs from the Mirage 270, which proved to be a roomy, well-balanced sailing yacht, despite having a waterline of just 21 feet. She actually measures 25 ft 6 ins from stem to stern. The ’27’ figure came from including the transom-hanging rudder in the measurement.

The galley is normally fitted with a gas cooker supplied by a gas bottle contained in a self-draining locker at the aft end of the cockpit. The fresh water supply is taken by pumps to the galley sink and a small basin in the separate toilet compartment where a marine toilet is fitted.

Well-known member.

Hi All I'm quite enjoying being boatless and reading ads for Magna's replacement. Cobras, Sabres, Snapdragons, Sadlers etc. As you may guess, it's a 26/30 bilge keel yacht, mutli-cylinder engine, we seek, less (much?) than 10k. Mirage yachts appear in this slot and we have viewed some and been quite impressed. However, each owner believes theirs, 26/27/2700/28, is better than the others! So, any advice, insights? (I've been on owner's sites, still not sure.) Regards Nick  

Active member

Hi there from my experience the most difficult problem other than the normal issues affecting all GRP is the cored deck which can start to give serious money swallowing problems. Otherwise generally OK.Perhaps get this checked before making an offer. it is not difficult to test yourself initially, some PDF articles on cored decks on my website. A start! John Lilley  

Seajet

Cored decks are pretty standard, and any issues would be down to a particular boat. However I imagine the OP is just browsing / daydreaming if mentioning Snapdragons and Sadlers in the same sentence ! I helped a Mirage 28 out from under a concrete bridge after the October '87 Hurricane; the few yards to the beach was certainly her last trip, but I think she stood that test as well as any boat could have; with the mast long gone and big cracks in the hull, I was both surprised and impressed when the engine started. I met a couple in Jersey who came in after a long sail ( and I mean long, weeks at sea, I forget where from ) and been hit by lightning on the final leg into St Helier, instruments fried but the boat was OK. I think they're reasonable boats which do what they're intended for, neither over or under-built, quite reasonable performance for passage making if not setting the world on fire; not a bad boat if the price suits.

Class association is www.snapdragonmirage.org.uk . The tech officer is very helpful but only available by phone.  

Your not my ex are you? "However I imagine the OP is just browsing / daydreaming if mentioning Snapdragons and Sadlers in the same sentence !" A day-dreamer replies... I've viewed four, from Chi to Harlech, two more pending. I've already made a final offer on one which was politely declined, such is browsing. I included Snappies as they were on my list at the start. Research ongoing has shown them to be rather pedestrian, unlike our posts. Thanks for the other info- Nick  

Thanks all! I did know about the balsa cores, I posted about it some weeks back. Is the 27 made by a completely different business or is it a stable-mate of the 26/28? Again, thanks and keep it coming- Nick  

There's a 2700 owner posts on here, so maybe he'll be along to give his experiences. To me they seem well built. Very good accommodation for their size. You'd not take one out to race.  

Marsupial said: Have sailed the 28, 29 extensively back in the 80-90's and owned a 30CC. the 28 was replaced by the 29 and it was made and fitted out by Thames Marine, Boating Scene took over around 1986 ish renamed the 29 and called it a 30.5 - they counted the rudder in the length. My 30cc was 1982 and was a different boat. All had a voluminous hulls with good accommodation - the 26, 28 and 30cc were made for the Greek charter market. The 28 engine bay is small by 1980 standards and not many (if any) two cylinder engines fit re-engining can be a issue if you want more power. The 29 and 2700 was much improved, had a bigger cockpit, full standing headroom, bigger engine compartment, fatter arse, but was made for private owners so had a higher spec. Very strong hulls able to take the ground. Hit a harbour wall with one and they will give you a bill for damaging the wall. Possibly the best sailing bilge/twin keeler at the time. The 2700 is a small version of the 29 Condition is everything with these boats get a good one and you wont be disappointed. Click to expand...

Broker's Comments

Boatshed Lancashire are delighted to offer this very popular and capable bilge keel Mirage 2700. The boat sails really well and has even won some local club races. She has been well maintained and is presently out of the water on her launching trolley which is included in the price.

She had a good survey in February 2016 and has had around £1000 spent on her since then and there are also 3 spare sails.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

mirage 2700 yacht

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

mirage 2700 yacht

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

mirage 2700 yacht

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

mirage 2700 yacht

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

mirage 2700 yacht

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

mirage 2700 yacht

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

mirage 2700 yacht

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.

The round trip journey takes two and a half hours and floats past all the big sights like the White House, Novodevichy monastery and the Kremlin. There’s a large open air observation deck up top, while the main body of the ship houses a restaurant with a dance floor for a romantic post dinner dance. For a particularly romantic experience take one of the evening boats and admire the bright lights of the city skyline at night.

The most relaxing and picturesque tour that Moscow can offer: a great way to see the city center and its main attractions. This is a perfect alternative to exploring the city by car, if you only have time to do sightseeing during weekday rush hours.

Your English-speaking guide is eager to share every bit of their knowledge about the surrounding landscape, the architecture and historical details.

We conduct Moscow river tour on Radisson Flotilla boats all year around!  It’s warm inside during winter months, while there’s air conditioning during hot summer days. You may also treat yourself to drinks, lunch or dinner on board (drinks and food are not included in tour price).
