Mirage
Designed by Richard Woods
An 11 m (36 ft) hard-chine open-deck cruising catamaran from Richard Woods of Woods Designs, developed from his Mira. Hulls in sheet plywood or GRP foam sandwich, with centreboards or optional low aspect ratio keels and a choice of rigs. Beam 5.95 m, about 3.1 tonnes empty, 55.9 sq m of sail, 2 m headroom in the hulls. The layout lets a couple live entirely in one hull and leave the other for guests. One crossed from Panama to the UK in 2010.
The page shows a builder turning a hull over single-handed. Woods's minimum is 2,300 hours to a basic fit out ready to paint for someone who knows the work, so a first-timer should budget 3,000 to 4,500. Real hours from logged builds are below.
What building a Mirage actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
