[1][4][5] The Mirage 35 differs from the very similar Miarge 33 only in fitting a reverse transom, which adds 2.00 ft (0.61 m) to the length overall, but does not affect the boat's other dimensions.

It has a masthead sloop rig, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder and a fixed fin keel.

The water line, sail area, beam, draft, and interior layout of these two boats is identical.

The main difference is that the Mirage 35 has a reverse transom, weighs a few hundred pounds more, and has an overall length that's two feet longer than the 33 foot model.

In their day, the beams of these boats would have been considered slightly wider than average, and this would have been especially true of the 33 foot model.
