Construction
The hull and deck are constructed of Isophthalic acid resin and tri-axial knitted fiberglass fabric. The skinning layer is 100% vinylester on the exterior and polyester on the interior. Above the waterline, the hulls and deck are cored with Corecell foam, except for hardware attachment points. All coring is vacuum-bagged to ensure 100% adhesion. Below the waterline, hulls are solid fiberglass. There are 2 forward watertight compartments, one inside each bow locker, as well as 4 watertight bulkheads, 2 forward, and 2 aft. Standard fin keels have a sacrificial section allowing for substantial damage to keels without affecting hull integrity.

We are Pam and Glenn from Atlanta, Georgia, the original owners of Mira. The seeds of our dream began long ago and led to us taking delivery of our new Antares from the 40 Grados Sur shipyard in Argentina in 2017. For 7 years, she has been our nautical home as we’ve traveled the world. As proud owners, we’ve meticulously cared for her and added many modern upgrades to make Mira a luxurious world cruiser. Now, after 32 countries and over 32,000 nautical miles on board, we’re on to new adventures. We hope you love your life aboard Mira as much as we have!
