Broker's Comments

The Mirage 28 is a family cruiser designed and built by Thames Marine.
This is the bilge keel version which has the advantage of being able to dry out on sandy beaches or harbours plus she is able to use those cheaper drying moorings.
She is fitted out to a high standard and has been well maintained and looked after by her owner and appears to be in good condition for her age.
She is easy to sail with all lines being lead back to the cockpit. She is a well behaved vessel and capable in adverse conditions.
The interior has a good standard of woodwork with a pleasing finish. She sleeps 5 , 2 in the forward cabin which can convert from 2 singles into a double and there are 3 single berths in the main saloon. She has a reasonable sized galley and even has space for a nav station.
This is a good sized family boat at an attractive price.
