The Mirage 29 represents the final evolution of the successful cruising range produced by Thames Marine on Canvey Island. Introduced in the early 1980s as a successor to the highly popular Mirage 28, the 29 was designed by David Feltham to provide a more contemporary silhouette and improved interior volume while maintaining the brand's reputation for robust, accessible coastal cruising. Unlike the heavydisplacement, traditional lines of the builder's Snapdragon series, the Mirage 29 was aimed at the modern sailor of the era, offering a sleeker profile and a hull form that prioritized better upwind performance and responsiveness. As one of the last models released before Thames Marine ceased operations around 1981, the Mirage 29 remains a relatively rare but highly regarded sight in UK marinas, often viewed as the "refined" version of the ubiquitous Mirage 28.
