- Proven world voyager. This Owner's version Mikado is special as she is ready to go around the world AGAIN. The owner has improved and updated her regularly to a point, in our opinion, that this is the best Mikado we have seen to date.The boat was built in 1983 but since then has been refitted in 1993 and 2004. It has energy efficient systems as well as practical installations and NO OSMOSIS! She is in super shape, with a big yacht feel but easy to manage for 2.
