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][4]
Production
The boat was built by Mirage Yachts in Canada, but it is now out of production. Only a small number were built.[1][4][5]
