The Mirage 5.5 represents a pivotal chapter in the history of Ken Fickett’s Gainesvillebased shipyard, serving as a highperformance entry point into the world of "microcruising." Designed during an era when the builder was deeply immersed in the racing circuit, the 5.5 was engineered to be a trailerable, versatile sailboat that bridged the gap between a pure daysailer and a pocket cruiser. While its name occasionally causes confusion with the International 5.5 Metre class, the Mirage 5.5 is a distinct design from Mirage Manufacturing, characterized by its light displacement and a focus on spirited performance that earned the brand its early reputation for speed.
