Mikado Grande Croisieres 56


Featuring a NEW (Aug 2026) 150hp IVECO shaft drive diesel, this superbly built bluewater cruiser has just completed a major two year refurbishment and recently returned from a two month shakedown cruise from Brisbane to the Whitsundays and back. Nomad offers 2024 standing rigging, fully refurbished galley 2025, major electrical upgrade 2025/6, Radar 2025, new tender and outboard 2025, new rear deck cover with new covers and clears 2025 along with new antifoul August 2026. All on deck sails, main, mizzen cutter and headsail are all new in 2022.
But Nomad is so much more than just the sum of her parts. She's a sea kindly vessel easily sailed short handed thanks to her hydraulic furling sails, with both foremast and main mast in-mast furling, she motors comfortably at 9 knots and if the weather gets fruity there's a choice of rolling down the cockpit covers or retreating to the comfort of her interior helm. Behind the deck helm position is a superb dining / relaxation area featuring a removable drop-leaf timber and seating for 8 adults, all complimented by her spacious uncluttered teak laid decks. Accommodating eight adults comfortably with a large aft cabin and featuring an island double berth with ensuite, two forward cabins double berth cabins, one with an ensuite and two single bunk berths in the forepeak. This is a proven blue water sailing vessel having sailed much of Europe and the Pacific and purchased by the current owners in Asia and sailed to Australia. Having owned, lived aboard and sailed her for the past 8 years, her loving owners have spared no expense to keeping her in the best possible sailing condition and where needed replaced old for new. There is both an extensive maintenance log and many receipts. It's now time for them to move on to different adventures and as such are reluctant but motivated to sell her. Located at her berth at RQYS, Australiawide Boat Sales are proud to be able to arrange an inspection for interested buyers, simply contact our Manly Qld office to arrange a suitable day and time or to simply discuss this exceptional vessel.
