The design has no bridgedeck saloon, but the accommodation in the hulls extends over the wing deck and is very roomy. The main saloon is 8 ft (2.4 m) wide and there are ample amenities for a couple to live aboard in one hull only, leaving the other hull for storage and guests. Mira can carry sufficient load for world cruising.
