My 1983 M33 Hull 77 has a cored hull below the waterline, not solid at least under the V-berth. I had no signs of water infiltration below the waterline.
One annoying issue is that the shaft is 7/8 inch, which I am told is too small for a 33-foot sailboat. Also, I’ve broken the propeller strut twice in 12 years. It too is undersized.
Last winter, I took his 42-year-old boat to the Bahamas from Canada and back. She performed fabulously.
Hi,
What is the core in the hull below the waterline and where? Balsa ?
My understanding is that these sailboats were not cored.
Do you know whether Mirage changed its production method at a point in time?
Cheers
I own a Mirage 35. The M33 and the M35 are nearly identical except for the reverse transom. The picture of the boat under sail in the article is a Mirage 35.
