Across the Pond:
Krogen 44' Le Rêve Makes
Dream Crossing of Atlantic Ocean
In July 2004 Bill and Joanne van Lenthe left their home waters of Lake Huron aboard their Carver 530 Voyager to
begin the Great Loop. By the winter of 2005/2006, having made it to the Bahamas, they were truly hooked on the
cruising lifestyle and began talking about a boat capable of crossing the Atlantic to Holland where they were born.
They traded their Carver for Le rêve, a Krogen 44', and after getting to know her and making a few additions to her
systems, this past summer Bill and his crew of four including Clyde Honeycutt, Eugene Kohlmets, Mike Lankes and
Bern Norfolk, made the trip “across the pond.” Their trip of over 3500 miles across the open ocean thankfully was
somewhat uneventful. What follows is an interview with Bill by Kadey-Krogen’s Larry Polster regarding preparations,
route and what “The Big Ride” (as the Le rêve blog called the trip) was really like.
Larry: Most crossings involve a stop in
Bermuda so the longest leg of the crossing
would be the 1800 miles from Bermuda to the

Azores. Why did you opt to take the 2250 mile run
straight to the Azores?
Bill: First of all, most people doing this trip leave
from some point in Florida, and Bermuda would be
a natural choice. As we had the boat in New York
for the winter it would have added approximately
450 miles to the overall trip had we gone
to Bermuda first. Knowing we had the
range for a straight shot to the Azores,

Larry: What was your watch schedule and how
much traffic did you encounter?
Bill: We kept watches at all times. We had a
schedule drawn up of 8 periods in 24 hours: 0800
hr to 1200 hr/1200 hr to 1600 hr/ 1600 hr to 1900
hr/ 1900 hr to 2200 hr/ 2200 hr to 0100 hrs/ 0100
hr to 0300 hr/ 0300 hr to 0500 hr and 0500 hr to
0800hr. The night watches were kept shorter as
these are the most difficult.
We did see some traffic, however there were
days that we did not see anything on the AIS
(Automatic Identification System) screen. AIS
would show us any ship within a range of approximately 15 nm, as well as all pertinent information
such as course, speed, destination, closest point
of approach, time to approach, and the name of
the ship. Most of the traffic we’d see on AIS we
could not see with the naked eye, even though
sometimes they were within 4 to 5 nm away from
us. On a clear day you should easily be able to
see large ships as far away as 6 to 8 nm, perhaps
further than that.
As I mentioned the traffic was light to some
days nonexistent. This changed once we got
closer to the English Channel, a bottle neck of
ocean commerce to and from northern Europe.
A windmill keeps watch
on the Azores.
The North sea was very busy as well. In these areas one
would have to keep very diligent watch, and make
changes to our course in the appropriate time in order
to avoid a collision. One time when I was on watch we
were clearly on a collision course with a 945-foot cargo
ship. He was on my port side and according to the rules
of the sea had to give way to me. Common sense in the
boating world however says that the bigger you are the
more right of way you have, and you don’t argue your
right of way when the one approaching is close to 1000
feet in length! However in this case I could not turn to
port to avoid him due to other traffic in the area, so I
called him on the radio and asked him if he saw me, and
if he planned to cross in front of me or behind me. He
came back and said that he would alter course to
starboard and pass me on the stern. It was quite
interesting to see a 945-foot ship that had been coming
straight for me alter course; all of a sudden I saw his
port beam lights, and he crossed my path on the stern
by less than a quarter mile.
One other container ship crossed in front of us and he
was absolutely enormous (there was no concern of a
collision with this one). I called him on the VHF and
asked if he was the biggest container ship on the ocean.
He said that there was actually one that was bigger by
60 feet. His dimensions were 1100 feet long at 100,000
tons, and he carried 8500 20-foot containers when fully
loaded. It was enormous!!!
Other than having lots of traffic to look at in the
English Channel, we also enjoyed the best weather of
the entire trip. That deteriorated as we got closer to the
Dutch coast, and we entered IJmuiden with drizzle and
fog. Typical Dutch weather!!!!
Larry: I understand that you spent a good part of last
winter preparing Le rêve for the journey. What major
pieces of equipment did you add?
2
Bill: First thing needed was a “get home” engine. While
the John Deere is a great engine, with our chosen route
I had to decide between installing a gear box on the
main shaft and having a hydraulic motor driven by
either a larger generator or a separate engine, versus
installing a completely stand-alone system with its own
sail drive and prop. After talking to many people I
decided to go for the latter. If I had chosen the former,
and had a problem with either the main shaft, shaft
bearing or main prop, the gear box would not have
gotten me home.
So the decision was made to install a stand-alone
system. Now what engine and sail drive to get? As I
wanted to install a hydraulic pump to run the stabilizers
in case I needed to use the get home system, I needed
about a 2800 rpm engine. I also wanted a system that
would really push the boat in a seaway. So many get
home systems I see on cruising boats only allow 4 kts
in flat calm water. The final decision was for the Nanni
60 hp diesel. It runs at 2800 rpm and would allow for
about 6 kts in calm water. Nanni makes the engine for
the Kubota line of equipment (or the other way
around), and having had several Kubota tractors I think
they make an excellent product.
The AIS that I had on the boat was only a receiving
unit, and not a transmitting one (common for pleasure
crafts). However I wanted the big boys to see me so
they could at least try and avoid me rather than run
over me. So it was changed for a send and receive
unit. Also, we had a fixed helm seat installed for the
night watches. At least it kept us in place the odd
time we happened to doze off!!! Lastly, we had a
Spectra water maker installed which can produce
up to 400 gallons of fresh water in a 24-hour period.
Horta, Faial Island, Azores,

mountaintop
Larry: Was the trip what you expected?
Bill: The total duration of the trip was a little longer
than I had expected. I had calculated the time from
Atlantic Highlands to Horta to be a few days less
than two weeks. As it turned out it was a couple of
days more than two weeks. I believe this is due to
the weather we experienced. Usually in early June
the part of the Atlantic we crossed (south of 40
degrees lat.) is fairly calm with blue sunny skies. We
saw only a few such days. Most days were cloudy

foggy, and/or rainy, all accompanied
with a fair bit of wind. I had expected we
would have some seas with substantial
waves but certainly not as many days as
we experienced.
In spite of the mostly unfavorable
weather during the crossing I could not
have been more happy with the performance of the Kadey-Krogen. Clyde Honeycutt described it best when he said, “It is
quite interesting to see these large swells
towering above the stern of the boat. It
seems just as the following seas are about
to come into the cockpit, Le rêve with little
effort lifts her big broad butt over the
waves. She reminds me of the grace,
lightness of foot and elegance of watching a
self-assured heavy-set girl dance.” And I
have to agree.

Larry: Now that you are there, what are your plans?
Bill: Long range plans are that Joanne and I will stay
in Europe for the next few years. Perhaps two or
three. We plan to do the northern countries (Scandinavia) and eventually end up in the Mediterranean.
Perhaps via the Rijn and the Danube. For now we will
stay in Holland where there are endless possibilities
to cruise.
Larry: Would you do it again?
Bill: I still need to reflect on the trip as a whole. The
weather was certainly a bit rougher than anticipated
and it is a long time at sea, especially with crew that
you have never spent 24/7 with. It’s not that the trip
didn’t give me a wonderful feeling of accomplishment,
and it’s not that I did not have wonderful crew, but it
is a big ocean and a long time at sea. Then again, I
am now in the town of Hoorn, in my home country,
on my own boat and I got it there on her own bottom.
Maybe enough said.
IJmuiden, Holland, was the destination
of the last leg of the crossing.

From the
PILOTHOUSE
Dear Owners and Enthusiasts,
In the last issue of Waypoints we
announced the growth of Kadey-Krogen
Yachts with the opening our new Seattle
office. In this issue we are pleased to announce that
David Glasco
Stuart, FL
we have taken another step towards ensuring that we
continue to create the best yachts possible: We are
glad to welcome naval architect David Glasco to the
Kadey-Krogen team. David Glasco comes to KadeyKrogen by way of Valiant Yachts and most recently Tom
Fexas Yacht Design where he was project manager for
the new Krogen 55' Expedition trawler yacht. Dave joins
staff naval architect Jimmy Krogen at our headquarters
in Stuart, FL, rounding out what is arguably the most
qualified and capable design team in the trawler
yacht industry.
A Kansas native, Dave is a 1995 graduate of the prestigious Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering program at the University of Michigan. In addition to his
design credentials he brings hands-on construction
experience gained during an internship with Westport
Shipyard in Washington State. “A design approach to
building yachts, versus solely a manufacturing approach,
allows more satisfaction of client goals,” Dave explains.
“For instance, right now clients are concerned about the
cost of fuel. The ability to incorporate lighter superstructure materials available due to new technology is a
design-driven approach resulting in increased efficiency
yet does not compromise the superior ride, capability
and handling of a Kadey-Krogen.”
Dave augments Jimmy Krogen’s design skills with his
own years of custom design and build experience. He
brings a fresh perspective that will help us develop new
models as well as integrate developing methods into the
current product line to carry on our commitment to
quality, technology and engineering.
While Dave brings new energy as well as fresh ideas,
he and Jimmy together are interested in continual refinement of the basic design philosophy established by
5
founder James S. Krogen, so we can consistently
deliver our core values of Capability, Liveability,
Family and Value to each and every customer
and always strive to build an even better yacht.
In addition to welcoming Dave on board, we
want to extend our hearty congratulations to
Bill van Lenthe and the crew of the Krogen 44'
Le rêve who completed their Atlantic crossing
(l to r) Bill van Lenthe, Bern Norfolk, Clyde Honeycutt, Mike
Lankes, and Eugene Kolmetz
in July. While Atlantic crossings are more commonplace today than they were nearly 20 years
ago when the first Kadey-Krogen crossed the
Atlantic, what is remarkable about the Le rêve
journey is that she went 2250 nautical miles nonstop to Horta in the Azores and arrived there utilizing only 670 of her 850 gallons of fuel–and the
crew did it unaccompanied. She arrived with over
20 percent in reserve, despite encountering serious weather. By comparison, other recent, more
publicized journeys involved flotillas of similarly
sized vessels that carried 40% more fuel with
stops in Bermuda to ensure that the longest
passage was only 1800 miles.
Independent and efficient. That’s Bill van
Lenthe, his crew and the Krogen 44'.
Congratulations!
Fairwinds,

Krogen 55' Expedition
on Target for Winter Debut
Construction of the new Krogen 55' Expedition continues to move forward at a sure and steady pace with Hull #1 scheduled to
arrive by year end. The photographs of the current production stage show the quality of what is “under the covers” and behind the
scenes in the construction of a Kadey-Krogen.
In the last issue of Waypoints I wrote about how we laminate the hull of each and every Kadey-Krogen as a single
piece, as opposed to partially laminating two halves and
then joining them together during the construction process. Those of you that read that article will recall that
with the latter method (used by the majority of builders
because it is quicker and therefore cheaper) the hull
requires patching and fairing after being released from
the mold, especially at the stem, which over time wears
differently from the rest of the hull, causing discoloration.
Look at the photo of the red hull section illustrating the
two-piece method. Then look at the blue Krogen 55'
Kadey-Krogen hulls are built as one integral
unit and are laminated in the mold.
Expedition: Notice the uniformity in color at the stem, fresh
out of the mold, not waxed or even washed!
A lasting exterior is just one part of the overall value equation. Strength and quality of construction, while often hidden
and taken for granted, play a large part in the long-term value
of any yacht. In looking at the stringers and bulkhead photos,
you can see the eight massive longitudinal stringers and seven
structural bulkheads that provide stiffness and strength for the
hull of this world class Kadey-Krogen yacht. Also visible are
where the four water-tight doors will be separating the lazarette, engine room, machinery space, battery compartment
and the collision bulkhead.
The installation of premium machinery such as the John
Deere marine engines is also well underway. In the engine
installation photo you see the

beds that have already been through-bolted to the

aft end of the engine you see the transmission,

drive the stabilizers, hydraulic bow thruster and

Krogen 55' Expedition.
The interior layout of the 55' Expedition, with the
majority of the living area on one level, allows for a
large machinery space below decks separate from
the heat of the engine room. This space begins at
the second water-tight door from the back and ends
at another water-tight door near the bow. Over 15
feet in length, this space houses the main fuel
tanks, water tanks, filters for the engines and generator, fuel polishing system, stabilizers, chilled water
A/C compressors, fresh water pumps, hot water
tank, freezer, workbench and a sink. Yes, this
space has its own conditioning! And yes, it’s all
standard equipment!

Welcome, New Owners!
We are pleased to announce
the commissioning of several new Kadey-Krogens, and introduce their owners.
Haldine and Buck Baxter live in
Montgomery, AL, and home port for their
Krogen 44', Darling, will be in northwest
Alabama on the Tennessee River. The Baxters
previously owned a Grand Banks, and enjoyed
weekend cruising in trawlers and high performance boats. Now they look forward to
extended cruising, beginning with the Florida
and Alabama coasts and river system. They
plan to start the Great Loop in November,
dedicating at least a year to this adventure.
After the Loop they hope to spend time in the
Bahamas. When the Baxters began looking
for the right vessel for these planned travels,
a broker friend recommended Kadey-Krogen.
After a visit in Annapolis and a sea trial on
another new 44' they immediately placed their
order. “Kadey-Krogen Yachts is a first-class
company. It’s like no other boat company
we’ve ever dealt with.”
Ann and Dave Benfer have been sailors
for more than 40 years, and on a 38' ketch for
the last 18 years. They live in Wilmington, DE,
and homeport is Lankford Bay Marina just off
the Chester River on the western shore of the
Chesapeake. Their travels have taken them to
New England often, and to the Abacos for two
winters. “We’ve seen a lot of the Chesapeake,
but not all!” They are planning to visit the same
waters on their new Krogen 39', Journey, but for
longer periods of time and in more comfort.
Dave and Ann are impressed with the 39' layout
and amount of space, the salty look and the
full displacement hull. “The Kadey-Krogen crew
made this purchase such a positive experience.
We can’t say enough good things about how
they handled the entire transaction.”
The Benfers write, “What is a journey? A journey is not a trip. It is not a vacation. It’s a process of self-discovery. A journey shows us not
only the world, but how we fit in it.”
Dr. John and Peggy Ford of Damascus, MD,
commissioned their first Krogen 44', Feisty Lady,
back in 2006 with Hull #44007. They and son
Captain J.P. Ford now enjoy Hull #44020 out of
Annapolis. The latest Feisty Lady has a dedicated
guest stateroom as opposed to an office/den

arrangement, the dinghy is mounted athwartships,
the mast and boom are replaced with a hydraulic
davit, and there’s a larger window in the galley.
These upper deck changes opened up even more
space for the family to be together. J.P. has his
OUPV captain’s license and hopes to soon have
his Masters. The family plans to eventually winter
in Florida and enjoy the islands. “Mom says all of
the women in our family are feisty. They are!”

Happy Wife, Happy Life–Part Two
By Captain Kathleen Norfolk
see the boat is very helpful. Having the professional captain
show you how to dock, go over systems and explain the
process from beginning to end, touch every switch, learn
about every gauge and answer your questions is an excellent way to get a clear understanding about the operation
of your boat.
Another fear that someone less knowledgeable has is of
screwing up and being yelled at in front of everyone on the
dock, all the while doing the best that she can. A simple
preventative measure is to purchase a pair of full-duplex
headsets. Full-duplex means that you can both talk, and be
heard, at the same time. These headsets, many call them
“marriage savers,” enable you to talk calmly to each other
without the rest of the world knowing what is going on.
In addition to one-on-one training, there are many other
alternatives for education and empowerment. Trawler Fest
always has seminars for women only, running the gamut
from demystifying the diesel engine to hands on boat handling and navigation courses. These courses are another
way of getting more hands on expertise and are very confidence building.
Already have a boat? Hire a captain for a day or two, and
ask your female friends with boats to have a girls’ day on
water. There are classes at local community colleges, boat
organizations and Coast Guard auxiliaries, and many boating groups offer continuing classes. Boating has a community, tap into it. Boat shows have many booths with information. Knowledge overcomes the fear and so does practicing the feared action over and over until you feel you are
proficient in the task. It takes time, realistically. It takes
asking questions again and again until you finally have that
“Ah ha” moment and you really know you can do this.
How empowering is that! Cut yourself some slack here,
too. There will always be a continuing process of learning
new skills and bettering those skills.
While all this sounds great coming from me, it sounds
even better coming from an owner. So please read Meg
McLane’s article on the following page, and maybe the next
time I hear a female owner say that her 50 percent of the
boat is not for sale, it will be you!
In the last issue of Waypoints I wrote the
article “Happy Wife, Happy Life,” and stressed
that a couple contemplating going cruising should focus on
many things besides electronics, engines and gadgets, and
that it was most important to focus on lifestyle and to
remember that trawler cruising is not camping.
Accompanying the article was a great piece entitled
“Outfitting the Dream for Both of You” written by one of
our female owners, Karyn Rothstein.
In Part Two of Happy Wife, Happy Life, I want to share
with you a concern I repeatedly hear from women at boat
shows: “What if something happens to my husband while
we are out in the water?” Believe me, you are not the only
one who is thinking about that–so is your male partner.
Let me remind you that NO ONE was born knowing how
to drive the boat, or have knowledge about electronics,
diesel engines, electrical systems, docking, how to place
fenders, knot tying, line handling, chart plotting, weather,
etc. We all have to learn. Sometimes it is the fear of the
boat size, learning something new, looking stupid, having
to ask over and over again, and thinking “How can I
possibly learn all this new information?” that is so overwhelming. When a task is broken down into parts, it
becomes less intimidating.
Here is what our female owners tell me was most helpful
for their learning curve (and they all had different experience levels coming in): KICK YOUR HUSBAND OFF THE
BOAT FOR A DAY. Yes, you read that correctly. It’s no joke.
Far and away the most useful way to overcome fears is
to have your husband be off the boat for a day while you
spend it with a professional captain “teaching you the
ropes.” At Kadey-Krogen Yachts, part of the commissioning
process is time with a captain, and using some of that time
without the male owner being anywhere where he could

Some Sense from Sea Sense,
The Women’s Sailing and Powerboat School
By Meg McLane
I am not sure what is more presumptuous, writing this article or
assuming that I could learn in five
days with Captain Patti Moore of
Sea Sense, the women’s sailing and powerboat school, what my husband Jamie has
learned about the sea in the course of 60 years.
While we have operated many big sailboats on
charter, our Krogen 48' North Sea is the first
boat we’ve ever owned. But possessing a triple
Type A personality and an undaunted spirit,
when asked to write about our experiences of
having a female captain on board shortly after
we commissioned Wanderer’s Rest, I agreed.
When Jamie and I made the decision to buy
our 48' new home I knew that after eight years
of being a novice to sailing, most of which was
spent in the galley, I had a lot of “hands on
learning” to do starting with proper line handling. During the last two years I did the traditional ten-week program with the Coast Guard
Auxiliary as well as a six-week Navigation
course. Some might try this one course at a
time, but not me. I took them both on, while
handling a professional executive search career
and trying to put our home on the market. On
reflection, it is no surprise that my eyes looked
like a compass at the end of my Navigation
course. I did, however, pass Seamanship and it
still amazes me today that I could be licensed
in two states to lease a power boat based on
that ten-week course, having never touched a
power boat in my life.
Still intent in my quest to master a boat on
the seas, I had the good sense to find the captains at Sea Sense, Carol Cuddyer and Patti
Moore. I had taken Women’s Navigation and
then Boat Handling for Women on a 44' KadeyKrogen at a couple of Trawler Fests. Both of
these courses were fabulous and empowering
and for the first time I realized that I really
could learn how to operate a boat. The idea to
have Captain Patti Moore come aboard our
boat and help me get comfortable handling her
hit me at the end of the Boat Handling course.
Right about the same time, I learned from other
Krogen women owners that the male partner
tends to get more out of the traditional commissioning process. This is not intended to be
discriminatory, but there is a limited amount of
time available during commissioning and the
company’s objective is to ensure that at least
one member of the team is fully capable of
handling the boat before turning it over. In
most cases, given experience levels, that tends
to be the male partner.

“Our goals when
we brought
Captain Patti on
board were to
help me become
competent in boat
handling, line
handling, boat
mechanics, more
navigation and,
most importantly,
enhance communication between
Jamie and me.”
Our goals when we brought Captain Patti on
board were to help me become competent in
boat handling, line handling, boat mechanics,
more navigation and, most importantly, enhance
communication between Jamie and me. Now
that you all have stopped laughing, the only thing
I didn’t ask her for were tips on boat design and
architecture. I will tell you that Jamie and I
received more than we anticipated from
the experience.
Captain Patti stayed with us for four nights and
five days. It was not prudent to go out one day
due to bad weather, however it was not wasted
by any stretch of the imagination. We spent the
day in the engine room. It was great to have
someone help me learn what does what. It was
also comforting to have someone by my side as I
cleaned out the seawater strainers. Helpful hints
like having small containers ready for the nuts
and bolts may be commonplace for old-time boat
owners, but it would not have occurred to me.
Having someone help me label things that did
not already have labels, so that I didn’t have to
bring down the manual, made the engine room a
less scary place. Jamie and I are looking to
explore new places and expand our world. This is
my new home and I don’t want to live in a place
of anxiety.
We set off down the Indian River from Four
Fish Marina in Jensen Beach, FL. Sounds simple
enough, but not if you haven’t mastered line handling. Captain Patti has a neat trick for those of
us who do not have a lot of upper body strength.
Tuck the boat hook under your armpit to give
yourself leverage. I looked a lot less funny when I
was releasing lines using her technique than I did
before. The most critical thing she did was to
help Jamie and me with communication and
strategy. She walked us through strategies for
departure and docking, stressing the importance
of thinking and talking through these. I am visual
learner and reviewing this exercise with someone
else was very helpful.
Captain Patti’s work with me has given Jamie
the freedom of leaving the flybridge and pilothouse because I have the confidence of knowing
12
I can handle Wanderer’s Rest for long stretches. I don’t
panic in crowded waterways or while waiting for a
bridge to open. Captain Patti started at the most basic
for me. I now know how to identify the center arch in
the bridge (by the marine light hanging down) to be
able to position our boat gauged by how much fender
I see on each side of the arches. She helped me learn
how to get a feel for speed, find my “brakes” and get
comfortable with neutral. Somehow coming quietly
from Captain Patti rather than my husband was much
more palpable, even though Jamie is always very supportive and helpful. (We just both find that we are
always right.)
Captain Patti has enormous patience. She let me
practice power turns again and again as I learned how
the boat favors port, without using the bow thruster.
Captain Patti is a member of the “Old School” which
teaches you how to cherish the beauty and grace of
the Kadey-Krogen as she is designed, understanding
that if she is operated correctly she turns on a dime.
The Sea Sense captains believe that bow thrusters
are for those times when the winds and currents are
working against you, not for accomplishing regular
tight turns or for balancing your heading. “After all,”
Captain Patti said, “things like bow thrusters can fail
and do. And a Kadey-Krogen turns so beautifully all
on her own.”
Captain Patti has over thirty years of sailing and big
boat power experience. Having her aboard for several
days was like having a personal Chapman’s. She loves
teaching and sharing her knowledge and does it in a
way that is neither patronizing nor redundant. Both
Jamie and I learned from the experience. We had a
great overnight, testing most of Wanderer’s Rest new
equipment; some worked, some didn’t. But that is what
the commissioning process is all about. Captain Patti
shared her experience with us on safety, the Florida
waters (new to us), the Intracoastal Waterway (also new
to us), and boat mechanics. There was not a nautical
question off limits. She is a wonderful mentor and I
look forward to having her back on board.
The best part of this exercise was sharing what we
learned each night with our Krogen neighbors at Four
Fish Marina over cocktails. Between Captain Patti and
the generosity we experienced from the Krogen neighborhood at Four Fish, Jamie and I feel truly blessed.

Seattle Office Continues Expansion
As they say in business, “If you’re
not moving forward, you’re falling
behind.” Here at Kadey-Krogen Yachts,
proof of our taking this ideology seriously is
both in the yachts we build and in our commitment to facilities and staff. In the last issue of
Waypoints we announced the opening of our
new West Coast sales office in Seattle, and
hopefully everyone now knows about the new
Krogen 55' Expedition. Here’s more news
about our Seattle office.
It’s easy to see by reading boating and business magazines that Seattle is the boating epicenter for the west coasts of the United States
and Canada. I liken it to being the Fort
Lauderdale of the west. With this much impact
on the yachting community, it is vitally important that we at Kadey-Krogen Yachts extend our
core commitment to deliver Capability,
Liveability, Family and Value to the full degree,
minute and second! We always strive to establish and maintain lasting relationships with our
customers through superior service and support. It is this aspect of Kadey-Krogen Yachts
that truly separates us from the rest in the
industry. To help further these relationships we
have hired Paul Golubinski, who comes to us
from Passage Maker Yachts with years of
Kadey-Krogen experience.
Paul grew up in Michigan where his love for
the water started as a member of the Sea
Explorers on the Great Lakes. Wanting to be
close to the Pacific Ocean, he later moved to
California where he worked in a variety of
marine related jobs, from working on tugboats
to yacht delivery and sales. While on vacation in
the Pacific Northwest he fell in love with the
beauty of the area and took a position in sales
at Passage Maker Yachts. During his eight years
with PMY he developed his appreciation for the
quality of the Kadey-Krogen line and, like every
member of the Kadey-Krogen team, is committed to providing you the ultimate level of service and professionalism.
We would like to extend an invitation to you
to meet Paul, Kadey-Krogen President John
Gear and me at an Open House October 4-5 at
our Seattle office. If you haven’t seen a new
Kadey-Krogen lately, you haven’t seen a Krogen!
Allow us to give you a personal tour through
one of our yachts to show you what we mean
by that statement!
Last, but certainly not least, this is an open
invitation for all northwest Kadey-Krogen owners to feel free to take advantage of now having
a direct conduit to Kadey-Krogen Yachts. We
look forward to meeting all of you as well as
helping out in anyway possible. Send us
advance news, stories and photos of your
cruising adventures.
Happy Voyaging!

Second Annual Treasure the Chesapeake
By John and Barbara Holum
The scene: a 30-foot shallop equipped with provisions, tools, weapons and
men. The destination: the upper end of the Rappahannock in Virginia. The
reason: to explore this narrow, deep river. The crew: Captain John Smith
and 14 men.
Well, okay, this was not the present time, boat or crew, but it was the same
destination for a dozen adventurous Krogenites this past May aboard a fleet
of six Kadey-Krogens. Annually, Kadey-Krogen Yachts holds an owners’
event called Treasure the Chesapeake, an opportunity to explore an area of
the Bay that many may not have traveled and educate one another on its
history, environmental status, current impacts, and conservation measures.
This year we partnered with Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s John Page
Williams, and John and Barbara Holum of Krogen 58' Solveig IV, to follow
a portion of the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Water Trail.
Our purpose was to explore a river rarely traveled by trawlers and celebrate
Smith’s 400-year-old journey along the way. Enjoy!
–Casey Graves, Sales and Marketing Assistant
Solveig IV on the
Rappahannock River
in Virginia
From the logbook of Solveig IV:
Our latest diversion began to take shape in
January when Casey Graves called about the
possibility of our leading the second annual
Treasure the Chesapeake cruise, this one tracking Captain John Smith’s 1608 explorations. I
promptly called Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s
delightful Senior Naturalist John Page Williams,
who suggested concentrating on the
Rappahannock River.
What we didn’t figure on was this spring’s
exceptionally fierce winds. Although they usually diminished from late evening through early
mornings, those winds set the pattern for the
whole trip. All of which dampened the enthusiasm of
exactly...nobody. Boaters thrive on adversity, because
it gives them stories to tell.
We first gathered midday Sunday for a picnic lunch
at the Deltaville Marina. Deltaville Community
Association president Bob Walker (also of Chesapeake
Bay Magazine and Chesapeake Cruising Guide) welcomed
us. Then we piled in the back of his truck for a ride
down the road to see the Deltaville Maritime Museum,
where the locally built Captain John Smith shallop replica is on display. Afterwards we headed to Cocomos
for an appetizer spread that left most of us too full to
order dinner.
Monday morning we set off in, guess what? howling
winds for our trip out around Stingray Point (where
John Smith thought he was going to die from a barb
from a stingray he’d stabbed with his sword, but recovered and ate the beast for dinner) and turned up the
Rappahannock, the object of our journey. Lush green
banks, gradually angling closer. We reached our
anchorage space by around 4 P.M. Plenty of room.
Whitecaps, too, because the anchorage was on one of
the few wide, straight stretches up the river. Everyone
got their anchors dug in and their tenders launched
for the mile long ride in to Tappahannock. Chesapeake
Bay Foundation photographer and educator Bill
Portlock met us at renowned local eatery Lowery’s
with a slide show of some of his nature pictures that
left us all breathless. To top everything off, it was the
very first day that soft shell crabs were on Lowery’s
menu. More breathlessness.
Tuesday morning, more rain. I took our tender
around and fetched everyone to ride on Solveig IV.

The whole crowd was able to gather in the pilothouse
where John Page explained everything we were seeing
and all the experiences Captain Smith and his crew
had along the way. He also assigned us to guess the
waypoint for the spot Smith had been attacked by
Rappahannock Indians from the 150-foot high Fones
Cliffs, driving him across the river into a marsh where
more warriors waited in ambush. He assessed our collective guess as being pretty good.
As we approached our landing site at Leedstown we
were distracted from John Page’s narrative by all the
bald eagles soaring along Fones Cliffs. A magnificent
sight! At the peak there can be several hundred
eagles converging in the area, many of them migrants
from the south escaping summer heat, many of them
juveniles of less than the five year breeding age. The
only disappointment was our road–the water. The bigger problem was not as visible as the brownish color.
Like most parts of the Bay, the Rappahannock suffers
from agricultural run-off, depositing excessive nutrients (like, John Page says, a person going from 3,000
calories per day to 16,000) feeding algae blooms that
rob oxygen from the bottom so nothing can live there.
By the time we reached Leedsville the rain had
stopped and the sky had begun to clear a little. There
we boarded vans to enjoy some local attractions.
A splendid grilled chicken lunch at the Ingleside
Vineyards, reportedly Virginia’s fourth largest with just
under 100 acres under cultivation and more than 30
varieties of wines, followed by a tour by the head vintner and a comprehensive wine tasting. Then the vans
ferried us to the Westmoreland Berry Farm where we
ate freshly picked strawberries over soft ice cream.
If you weren’t sufficiently entertained by the confections,
the shopping opportunities (fresh asparagus), and the
spectacular view, the proprietors had constructed a high,
narrow, trestle from a goat pen up over the road to a
tower, under which was a gumball machine full of corn.
For a quarter you could buy some corn, drop it in a cup
tethered to a rope, and send it up via a pulley and dump
it in a trough on the tower, inspiring one or
more goats to navigate the precarious-looking trestle. Exciting.
In Urbanna John Page confirmed again why
he’s such a welcome guide and guest–way
better than Mosco, the Native American
who helped Captain Smith survive the
Rappahannock. Not only did John Page keep
us informed and entertained throughout the
trip; not only did he use his Whaler to ferry
everyone back to their boats in pitching seas
Tuesday night; but on Wednesday afternoon,
devoted waterman that he is, he took his Whaler back
out to do some stratification surveys, and then stopped
long enough to catch a couple of croakers which he filleted for our Thursday breakfast. Some people turn up
their noses at croakers. Try them lightly sautéed in olive
oil, served with fresh asparagus and tomatoes, and you’ll
think you’ve discovered Dover sole on the Bay.

2008 Regatta del Sol al Sol
Celebrates 40th Year
Jack Brinkerhoff preparing
a fresh mahi for the table.
Not to brag here, but anytime you can go
into your boss’s office and say, “I am going
to visit a customer...on their yacht...in the
Yucatan...for a week or so...and I intend to
write it off as a business trip”...and the
reply is...“That’s great, a terrific use of
your time”...then you have made a wise
career decision!
“The event
is part open
ocean sailing
yacht race,
and part
friendly cultural
exchange
mission...”
This past fall, our friends Jack and Jo Brinkerhoff
of the good ship Bodacious, a 1999 Kadey-Krogen
39', told my fiancée Sally and me that they were
considering joining the Regatta del Sol al Sol,
which is a sailing regatta organized by the St.
Petersburg Yacht Club. Their course was from St.
Petersburg, FL, to Isla Mujeres, Mexico–an island
about eight miles northeast of Cancun. Of course
it didn’t take long to agree to crew with them, and
while Bodacious spent the winter hopping around
some of the more far-flung islands of the Bahamas
(the Ragged Islands, the Jumentos, the Exumas
and Andros) we exchanged e-mails as Sally and I
sat in front of our fireplace (the only advantage to
living on land that I have been able to find) planning and dreaming of open ocean, warm breezes
and a place where our cell phones wouldn’t work.
boating communities of several U.S. and Mexican
coastal communities. Another race, the Regatta de
Amigos, is run every even numbered year from
Houston to Vera Cruz.
Now you may wonder how Krogenites would end
up in a sailboat race, other than the beach party part!
Well, each year Dave and Sandy Dumas of Krogen 42'
Kinship serve as a committee support boat. This
serves two purposes. First, sail racers being the
breed that they are, leaving them to decide how to
divide the weight of all the trophies, plaques and
other awards paraphernalia would undoubtedly lead
to bloodshed. Secondly, a key component of the
event is the delivery of goodwill packages to what
has become, to these folks, a sister community on
Isla Mujeres.
To expand this capability, Bodacious and her bilges
were invited to participate. Among the items we

The Regatta Del Sol is celebrating its 40th year. The before we left were bags of baseball bats, balls and

Aleman to promote closer ties between the
and 45 racing boats.

Bodacious
The Brinkerhoffs have owned Bodacious since early
2003. She was built in 1999 and, despite their concerns
over this or that small item, is in just amazing condition.
I get to spend a good bit of time aboard Krogens. I
try to get offshore as much as I can for deliveries, sea
trials, etc., but Sally had really only done one extended
trip aboard a Kadey-Krogen before, when we took the
Eisenhart’s Krogen 44', Icy Devil, from Annapolis to
Newport for a show. The weather was fairly kind and
Icy Devil has stabilizers, and that trip was wonderful.
This trip was interesting not only because it would be
a several-days, non-stop crossing, but because
Bodacious is not stabilized.
“Not stabilized?” you ask. Yes, that is correct.
Stabilizers, as I have mentioned before, are misnamed.
They should be called “motion dampeners” or “added
comfort fins” but they do not affect the inherent
stability of a hull. While I am a big fan of what they can
do, stabilizers are not absolutely necessary on a
correctly designed, true full displacement hull.
Suffice it to say that Bodacious is a fully found
cruising yacht, with a real full displacement hull (no
chines), a wineglass stern, a lead ballasted keel, plus a
GPS, 24-mile RADAR, a depth sounder and an autopilot. Absolutely everything that you need. For navigational purposes, we took the numbers for the GPS (a
device that tells you your position and speed, etc., not
by 3D-HDTV-1028 color-18-inch plasma screen chart
plotter but just by a couple of numbers). We then took
those numbers and plotted them on a “chart” which is
a detailed map of an ocean area printed on “paper”
and you write little X’s and draw lines on them
called “rhumb lines”... Oh never mind.
One interesting part of the trip for me was how
Sally, who had only cruised extensively aboard
our older Gulfstar 44 Motor Cruiser, with fourinch chines and a flat, square stern, was going to
enjoy the Kadey-Krogen.
The Crossing
We left on a brilliant morning with Kinship right
behind us. As we made our way out of the canals
of Marco Island and out into the Gulf the sky was
a brilliant blue, the weather about 76 degrees
with a light breeze, and a big dolphin came and
gave us a leaping salute to send us on our way. It
was like we had custom ordered it. So we set a
waypoint near the northwest tip of Cuba and put
Florida behind us with literally quite fair winds
and following seas.
During the first day’s travel we reviewed a few
systems and procedures on the boat and got
familiar with where everything was. We were
interrupted several times by large pods of
dolphin putting on a surfing seminar in our bow
and side wakes. It had been a while since I had
crossed the Gulf of Mexico and I had forgotten
how many more species there are here as
opposed to the Atlantic bottlenose “Flipper”
species that we all see on the east coast. We saw
spotted dolphin, spinners, grays and some
porpoises as well.

Continued from page 17
“We arrived midmorning to a
cannon salute
and a bag of
Regatta t-shirts
and cold beer
from the Regatta
Committee on
the docks! ”
As we neared sunset, the wind began to
freshen up a bit and during the night built into
four to five footers from our port-stern quarter,
with occasional whitecaps. One afternoon and
evening these built into steep six footers. Still
manageable, but the really striking thing for me
was Sally’s comments. She has of course heard
me explain many times about the reaction of
rising, wine-glass aftersections and a true full
displacement hull form, but experiencing it just
brought everything into instant, sharp focus.
Sally was amazed. It is not that a Kadey-Krogen
is immune to the laws of physics. We were rolling.
Not uncomfortably, but we weren’t leaving open
cups of coffee sitting around either. We made
dinner and had a sunset cocktail and it was
very pleasant, but the motion was just so different from that of our old boat with a different
hull form.
Sally described it as just a natural motion in
perfect tune with the waves, rather than a slow
build up to a feeling of dropping off a cliff as with
our square-sterned trawler. There was no “timing”
involved she said, referring to having a plate in
your hand as you walk to the galley and feeling
the boat go up, and stopping to hang on and wait
for the “drop” before taking your next step. The
boat just went gently up and over and gently back
down with her ballasted keel, not nearly so far
over as we were used to, and Sally realized that
18
she was moving around the boat without thinking
about it.
The other thing that Sally pointed out and I
certainly noticed was that the autopilot did not
seem to be working nearly as hard as the one on our
boat did in similar conditions. The rudder indicator
did not go through anywhere near the range of
motion as we would have experienced when quartering seas on our flat stern attempted to yaw the boat,
and the autopilot worked the rudder to correct our
course. In fact, I was reading the blog of a cruiser on
another make of trawler who said that in quartering
seas he was getting an error message on his autopilot of “rudder limit reached.” Frankly, after years of
cruising on trawlers, I was not even aware that error
message existed!
In the wee hours of our last night at sea, we hit the
current and our progress slowed from around 6.5 kts
to about 1.5 kts. We watched our anticipated firstlight landfall slip to afternoon and then into the next
evening as the distance seemed to become further
and further away. However, by first light we had
cleared the axis of the current and were again
making good time towards the island. We arrived
mid-morning to a cannon salute and a bag of Regatta
t-shirts and cold beer from the Regatta Committee
on the docks!
There is nothing like making landfall on an island in
the tropics after a pleasant crossing!
Isla Mujeres
I had visited Isla Mujeres, and also Cancun, about 20
years before, and frankly was expecting to see some
of the same changes that I have seen in so many
tropical locations I had loved in the past that now
look like South Beach spit all over it. While I would
go to great lengths never to set foot in Cancun ever
again, Isla Mujeres still retains her charm with not a
high rise, water park, mini-golf, or 20,000-square
disco to be seen.
The main mode of transport is scooters and golf
carts, several of the main streets are closed to traffic
after dark, and the cafés and cantinas put out tables
for dining under the stars while music drifts up and
down the alleys.
The restaurants that line the downtown beaches do
not have, nor have they ever had, walls or floors. Just
big thatched roofs, and grills where fresh pico and
cilantro are being laid over fresh mahi, snapper,
conch, lobster and octopus. Ceviche here is a staple,
not an unusual appetizer, and I did my best to try
every single restaurant’s offering of my favorite dish.
If you are even wearing shoes in the first place, you
walk into the sand, sit down at a table 10 feet away
from the Caribbean, and dive into a fresh bowl of
ceviche that was alive two hours ago!
Sally’s birthday was the day after we arrived. For
dinner we walked down to the beach to a table whose
grill smelled good, and five of us plowed through
huge platters of grilled conch, lobster, octopus,
fish and scallops plus fresh salsa and plantains
for about $70 US, with drinks.
We attended many different activities organized by the Regatta, from happy hours to the
annual Cruisers vs. Locals basketball game on
one of the town squares. However, the highlight
of the trip for me was the festival ceremony put
on by the community for their Regatta visitors.
The main entertainment of the festival was
several dance troupes, all made up entirely of
children of various ages, performing dances and
with costumes from different periods and
influences in Central American history. Some of
the costumes and dances had hints of the Maya,
some the Caballero and the Vaquero and some
the dress, music and dance that we associate
with Mexico today. All performed by children. It
was fantastic!

Impressions
Since this is the Kadey-Krogen newsletter, let
me hit a few Krogen and cruising related things
that I took from this trip.
To repeat myself, Bodacious has all the electronics any cruising boat “needs” with the possible
exception of an AIS (Automatic Identification
System) receiver that is reasonably priced and
useful in some situations. In my humble opinion,
Continued on page 20
19
Continued from page 19
“The thrill of
setting out across
an ocean and
arriving on a
beautiful island...”
the rest are just cool toys that tend to make
inexperienced sailors feel safe and experienced sailors lazy. Cut your electronics budget
in half and take the money and go cruising
for years!
The most important point I would like to
impart here is also from Sally’s point of view.
In our cruising together, from the Chesapeake
to the lower Exumas and home, we never
chose to do a “real” overnight. We made some
14-18 hour runs. We have certainly been in
weather where I thought I might lose the boat,
and had our days where I did not ever want to
see the damn thing again.
Obviously we did not hit any real storms or
anything like that on this trip, but the important point is that Sally was never afraid. Now, I
would love to tell you that the reason for this is
her unshakeable confidence in my seamanship, but frankly, it was mostly the boat. She
said that she felt safe and secure the whole
Isla Mujeres
20
time. The boat felt stable and solid and we
got to share things that so few ever get to see:
The sunrise at sea with no land or other
boats in sight. The cloud smudge in the early
morning light of land over the horizon. The
communities of dolphin and flying fish and
mahi that may have no idea that there is land
on this planet. The dim red lights and quiet
coffee smells of a pilothouse at 3:00 A.M.
under a bright moon when you come up for
your watch.
The thrill of setting out across an ocean
and arriving on a beautiful island where
everything is so different from home is
something that so very, very few people ever
get to experience.
