1980 Fairline Mirage 29, CHF 19.800,-

Classic cruiser with soul: honest engineering that works reliably

Fresh from MFK inspection (Swiss official survey), exhaust service done and an as-new gearbox.

This Fairline Mirage 29, built in 1980, is no show-off but an honest cruiser for lovers of classic boatbuilding. Anyone who has had enough of fragile electronics and digital gimmickry will find exactly what really matters here: solid mechanics, classic round gauges and a robust Mercruiser 5.7 LX V8 with 238 hp, just what you expect from a real V8.

The 8.75-metre-long and 3.09-metre-wide GRP hull is in remarkably well-kept condition. No osmosis problem, no backlog of repairs, simply an honest boat that has always been treated with care thanks to winter storage and regular boatyard maintenance. The sterndrive delivers good performance, while 510 litres of unleaded fuel in the tank allow for long trips. 708 engine hours attest to moderate use over the years.

Inside, the Fairline wins you over with a great sense of space and classic charm: two cabins, a heads compartment with WC, 191 cm of headroom and a cosily fitted seating area with oven, gas hob, refrigerator and heating make the boat ideal for extended weekends or relaxed holidays.

Also on board: shore power connection, battery charger, bow windlass, bilge pump, trim tabs, compass, depth sounder, davits, deck shower, bathing platform, bathing ladder, radio, CD player and much more. The 236-litre fresh-water tank and a 200-litre holding tank keep you self-sufficient while underway.

A boat for connoisseurs who know that a good vessel does not have to be new, only well looked after. Anyone who loves classics and can do without modern sources of trouble will appreciate this boat.
