English
The Mirage 2700 is a spacious family cruiser with twin keels ideal for exploring creeks and estuaries or taking advantage of drying moorings. 'Fortuna' is a desirable late example that comes with a great inventory including Lewmar self-tailing sheet winches, ICOM DSC VHF radio, Raymarine autopilot and chart plotter, and LCD TV with DVD player. She is in need of some new headlinings and is priced to reflect this.
