Description

Mirko is a reverse lay-out wide beam designed for low maintenance, extended cruising and all-year round living, with high levels of insulation, double-glazed windows and multiple heating/energy options. All of the main features of the boat, the Barrus engine (only 650 hours!), the Rolls batteries, the Victron based electrical system have been chosen as the best examples of their type and designed for many, many years of trouble free cruising.

The hull and engine cabin is built from continuous steel plates 10/6/4 with a V-bottom for extra stability in the wind. The main-cabin is an innovative design with reinforced timber walls that maximise the interior living space, clad on the exterior with Western Red Cedar which is naturally weather-proof for up to 30 years, without the need for costly treatments or painting. The modern interior is fitted with bespoke furniture made from sustainably sourced or reclaimed mahogany, birch and pine with a solid oak floor throughout. External 5G aerial fitted. Blacked April 22. Full survey from October 2021 available.
