Operational history
In a review Michael McGoldrick wrote, "these are good looking boats with a sensible and comfortable interior.  The Mirage 26 was the first of these two models to be built.  It had a quasi transom mounted rudder (there is small cutout in the transom to accommodate the rudder).  Because of its longer waterline, the Mirage 27 is the faster of the two boats."
