Sula’s Voyage to Alaska by Janice Walker
Sula, KK 39'
A year ago, I would have categorized myself as “not a boat person.” We live in southeast Alaska so boating
and being on the water are important parts of our life. However, when we would take our 19-foot Seasport on
the water, I was a nervous wreck and spent the travel time in the vee berth. I love camping, fishing, and beach
combing when we get to our destination but the trip to get there was nerve-wracking for me. My husband, Tim,
is very comfortable on the water but my stress levels would get him on edge. Regardless, I would usually make
a few white-knuckle trips a summer.
I’ve found when I go out on friends’ boats that are in the
40-foot range, I am much more relaxed and calm. I attribute it to not being responsible for the boat–just being
along for the ride. Tim believes my anxiety is related to the
size of the boat. During 2009 he started looking at boats
on the Internet (we called it “boat porn”). During the sumsum
mers of 2009 and 2010, we would take evening walks on
the docks in Ketchikan to look at the transient yachts and
30- to 40-foot pleasure boats. We visited with the boat owners and I realized they are regular folks, just like Tim and me.
I was warming up to the idea of looking at a bigger boat.
The realization that there were so many couples and small
groups of people piloting their own boats made me realize
Tim and I could actually handle a bigger boat.

“…so many couples

Tim and I could

bigger boat.”
In October 2010 we went to Seattle to look at
boats. We visited a lot of boat vendors during
that week. I didn’t know the difference between
the various boat brands, much less types of
boats, so it was quite an education for me. Tim
had been doing a lot of research for over a year
so he focused his attention on boats with a pilothouse and boats with full displacement hulls.
After more research, we both focused on
a couple of manufacturers. We were going to
look at them more at the Seattle Boat Show in
January 2011. I thought the search for a boat
would take years but late in 2010 there was a
1987 Krogen 42' on the market that we looked
at. I fell in love!!! When we took her out for a sea
trial, I was overwhelmed and felt we could never
learn enough to operate the boat but Tim was
confident we could, so we made an offer on the
boat. The deal on that boat fell through. At the
Seattle Boat Show in January we went aboard
a Krogen 39' and liked the layout, so the wheels
were in motion once again. Tim and I became
the proud owners of a 2000 Krogen 39' in March
2011. (An interesting side note is that this boat’s
first owner is a businessman in Ketchikan
whom I know.)

We had to get the boat, which we named Sula,
home to Ketchikan from Seattle. I knew I could handle being on the boat in the protected waters where
we live but I did not intend to go on the trip to bring
the boat north. I kept hearing other boat owners talk
about their experiences crossing the Strait of Juan
de Fuca, Seymour Narrows, Queen Charlotte Sound,
and Dixon Entrance–not always good experiences. As
the spring progressed, I thought back to the regular
folks we had visited at the docks in Ketchikan during
the prior summers and I finally decided that I needed
to take the plunge and go on the trip to bring the
boat north. I needed to learn how to cope with the
seas and how to run the boat if I was going to be a
”boat person.” My goals for the trip north were (1) to
survive and (2) to not hate the boat when we got to
Ketchikan. If I could keep from getting Tim stressed
out, he would be able to remain calm for the trip and
“the calm” would help keep me from being a
nervous wreck.
We scheduled leaving Seattle on Monday, May 23,
2011. There was a lot of prep work to figure out a
route, estimate how far we would make it each day so
we could have safe anchorage at night, and all of the
other items that need to be figured out before taking
off on an eight- to twelve-day trip.
Tim, our daughter Jill and I flew to Seattle and
worked the weekend before our departure to get all
of the supplies we needed, including spare parts, and
get the boat ready. On May 23 we had a late start but
decided to go ahead and leave at about 3 P.M. on the
scheduled departure date. Our Kadey-Krogen Yachts
broker, Dennis Lawrence, was able to come along for
the first part of the trip and provided very valuable
training to all of us. We followed the route Tim had
planned and adjusted our first day for the late start,
which meant we would anchor at Port Townsend the
first night. Dropping the anchor was really easy with

handled them well. We anchored in Swanson
Harbor for the sixth night. There is an abandoned cannery there, so we lowered the inflat
inflatable to go ashore and do some exploring. The
walls of the cannery were cement so they were
still intact, but the wood roof and interior walls
had rotted. The brick smokestack was still
standing, too. Once again we shared the harbor with two other boats (not the same ones
from any of the other nights). I was still lovin’ it.

headed into Grenville Channel, which is narrow with very steep walls. There is no place to

We saw killer whales and Dall’s porpoise again.

in Big Bay. The sunset was fabulous as we
looked for a good place to anchor. It had been
a 17-hour day so we were all very tired and
ready for some sleep. The weather forecast for

we didn’t get across in the morning we would most
likely have to wait it out for two more days when the
winds were forecast to die down.
The day dawned with calm seas and no wind.
Off we went to cross Dixon Entrance. We saw a
humpback whale that kept surfacing by the boat.
The seas were so calm that Tim and Jill went to the
flybridge to fly kites. I piloted the boat across Dixon
Entrance and the only challenge was to avoid hit
hitting logs and kelp patches. We made it across Dixon
Entrance and were home in Ketchikan by 1 P.M. I
was ecstatic! I would have never in a million years
thought I could make the trip.
I was actually sad to be back home. I had completely enjoyed my eight days on the boat and was
very relaxed. I understood why people like a cruising lifestyle–the clock ran slower while we were
underway. The hustle-and-bustle of our daily lives
was gone while we were at sea. I look forward to
the many cruises we will take but most of all I
am so grateful for Sula for finally making me a
“boat person.”

PILOTHOUSE
Dear Owners and Enthusiasts,
ent than the couple from whom my wife and I bought
our Krogen 42'. They lived eight years in Rochester,
New York, and like their land-based counterparts, got
up and went to work each day in “dress clothes.” Now
that’s a testament to liveability! This couple, and many
others like them, are equally enamored with their
Kadey-Krogen as the more publicized and publically
seen owners that you meet at boat shows, Trawler
Fests, rendezvous and rallies.
So why would these people choose to buy a trawler
and seemingly just sit at the dock? Actually, they don't
just sit. For many, the boat is “home” during the week
and their “vacation home” on the weekends and for
cruising vacations.
Unlike a land-based vacation home, when you are
tired of the view or the neighbors, it’s easy to pick up
and move! And while the couple we bought our boat
from had been living where it is brutally cold in the
winter (and another is still doing so in Rhode Island),
others have lived in more temperate locations such as
Aruba and Malaysia. So if you can identify with either
the homeowner personality or the rendezvous crowd
you are a potential owner of a Kadey-Krogen.
Remember, they are “At Home on Any Sea.”
In a previous edition of Waypoints,
Kadey-Krogen’s Tom Button recounted a
story of commissioning a vessel for a couple
and the discussion of how and where to
place certain items. The customer was
quoted as saying, “Well Tom, that’s why
they make vanilla and chocolate ice cream.”
That quip popped into my mind recently while reading
the blog of one of our owner couples. They believed
they were not typical trawler owners because they had
no interest in the highly publicized rendezvous, rallies,
and other assorted get-togethers. They were not novices
to living aboard and they had tried attending cruising
events, but discovered it was not their thing. As I read
more of their blog it became readily apparent that this
couple were indeed typical trawler owners, just enjoying
chocolate instead of vanilla ice cream.
How is that possible? They professed in black and
white disliking boating related get-togethers, but they
did not say they did not like boats, boating, and most
importantly, living aboard. Not just weeks or months at
a time. I mean full-time “I don't have a house on land
and I get up and go to work each day” kind of living
aboard. In many respects, this couple is not much differ-
Kadey-Krogen Expands International Presence
In keeping with the “chocolate and vanilla ice cream” theme, I
attended the Sanctuary Cope Boat Show in Australia last May
and learned that what we call a trawler is pretty rare down
under, yet the lifestyle abounds on sportfisherman, convertible
and express style boats with many cruising at 8-10 knots!
Meeting prospective customers at that show served to reinforce our decision to partner with Outer Reef Yachts in
Australasia, the European Union and Turkey. In Australasia

Recently my parents invited my
boyfriend, his parents and me to
spend an evening on their boat.
(No, it’s not a Kadey-Krogen, though I frequently remind them that we take trades.) We
anchored out by Pier 6 Pavilion, a popular
outdoor music venue in Baltimore’s renowned
Inner Harbor, to enjoy a night of live music.
We got settled on the flybridge with our full
glasses of wine and delicious summer appetizers. The sun began to set
behind the Baltimore skyline and it cast a beautiful orange glow over
the city. And then the music started. It was, in a word, magical. My boyfriend’s dad turned to my mom and asked if she could think of any
other place she’d rather be. She reflected for a second and, to everyone’s surprise, replied with an exuberant, “Yes!” As she realized how
that came across to the rest of us, she quickly tried to redeem herself,
“But not with better company…” We laughed as she explained that what
went through her mind was all the desolate places they’ve been around
the Chesapeake Bay and the Intracoastal. The sunsets where it’s just
them, the boat and the water. The incredible storms they’ve witnessed
firsthand. The exciting new places they find. How the adventure never
ends. Ah, the cruising lifestyle.
In this issue of Waypoints, we follow two different cruises. The first
is a couple’s first trip on their new Krogen 39' taking her home from
Seattle to Ketchikan, Alaska. The second is the “Cruising with
Confidence” voyage organized and followed through by members of the
east coast Krogen Cruisers. We place emphasis on the details that really
matter as our Dennis Lawrence explains why not to judge a boat simply
by its boat show appearance, and we get a glimpse into the commissioning process from the always entertaining Krogen 48'AE owner,
Bunnie Eccleston. And perhaps most exciting, the debut of our new
model the Krogen 52'! She’s finally here! She had quite a send-off from
the crew at Asia Harbor Yacht Builders who built her. (See back cover.)

kadey-krogen-55-expedition?page=0,1
Welcome, New Owners!
We are pleased to introduce these
Kadey-Krogen couples who have grabbed ahold of their dreams to enjoy life now.
Bunnie and Tom Eccleston took delivery
of the first new Krogen 48'AE, Serenity, this past
spring. Serenity’s homeport is Huntington, New
York, where “She is the belle of the marina,”
as Bunnie likes to say. Despite the weather
and spring’s refusal to make a timely entrance,
they have been enjoying their new family
member. In fact, because all the neighbors
love coming aboard and the Ecclestons love
entertaining, Serenity has been voted “Party
Boat of D Dock.”
Before trawlers, Tom sailed most of his
life on small class/racing boats including
5.5s, Shields, Stars, Dragons and Windmills.
He crewed on larger ocean racers and was
a private captain on a 55' powerboat. Tom
graduated from New York Maritime College
and spent a few years as deck officer on tankers sailing worldwide, including the Persian
Gulf-Vietnam run in 1970. He then ran intercoastal for a couple of years from Seattle to
Maine and back again and all of the major
US ports in between. He held an unlimited
Second Officers License and is a Lieutenant in
the USNR. Bunnie got involved in boating by
spending summers on a 19' sailboat with Tom
when they were first married.
It wasn’t until years later that they fell in
love with trawlers. In November 2009 they
purchased a brokerage Krogen 39', For Us, and
enjoyed her for over a year before they felt
they were ready for a bigger vessel. Serenity's
name genesis is simple: Serenity is what they
felt aboard their Krogen 39'.
Bunnie explains, “No
“No matter how crazed

ful boat. It was a no brainer
to name our new boat Serenity to continue
that experience. To date, we have not
been disappointed!”
So far, they haven’t had too many adventures since they are both still working and
just became grandparents for the first time
in May. They will be bringing Serenity to the
Newport Boat Show. From there, they are
hoping to hop over to Martha’s Vineyard for
a cruise around the island. They also plan to
cruise Long Island Sound, Montauk, and Block
Island. Tom notes, “Once we stop working,
we’re hoping to make our first leisurely cruise
along the coast of Maine, and I’d like to get to
Bermuda down the line.”
The impetus for their decision was KadeyKrogen’s reputation for outstanding materials
and craftsmanship. They also found that “in
addition to the superior workmanship, the

customer service was a pleasant surprise,” Tom
says. Bunnie adds, “Our purchase of Serenity
is what books are written about! Throughout
the process we have been guided, pampered,
enlightened, taught and made to feel as if
Serenity was the only sale Kadey-Krogen had
ever made. In addition to many, many photos
of her in the yard at Asia Harbor, her arrival
in Port Everglades inlet and every step of her
commissioning, the Kadey-Krogen folks were
there for us on the phone, texting, and email
seven days a week. The entire office staff turned
out for Serenity’s christening at the end of their
workday, with genuine smiles of happiness and
good wishes. These people not only know how
to build a boat, but know how to make their customers feel so special and such a part of a wonderful family. Thanks to the Kadey-Krogen family,
our dream is fast becoming reality.”
Karen and Perry Stickles are proud firsttime Kadey-Krogen owners. Krogen 48'AE,
Morse Code III, is the second of the new AE
model. Perry explains that the story behind
the name is “a play off words of the business
I own which was originally named Morse
Growers Supplies Ltd, and this is our third
boat with this name.”
8
With over 45 years of boating experience the
Stickles plan to first cruise the Chesapeake Bay
until October before they return home to Ontario
to welcome their eighth grandchild to the world.
After Christmas they will embark on a voyage to the
Bahamas where they will explore the islands and
waters until springtime. “We plan to come home
again at that time and don’t really know where we
will leave her then. We are also planning further
adventures in the Caribbean and then Alaska in the
next few years,” says Karen.
The Stickles’ last boat was a semi-displacement
trawler and they knew from that boat that they liked
to travel at displacement speed, but they found
themselves looking for “a much more seaworthy
design, especially in

wanted a vessel that
‘They treat us

as well as offshore.
just like family’…”
They decided based on
hull design, liveability and specifications that
Kadey-Krogens were the boat they wanted. They
also felt that the Krogen 48'AE was the perfect size
for them with two staterooms, two heads, a large
galley and spacious saloon.
As for the whole buying process the Stickles
found everyone at Kadey-Krogen to be fabulous.
“They treat us just like family. We can’t say enough
good things about Gregg [Gandy]. He is knowledgeable, helpful and very friendly.” In fact, it’s Gregg
that joined them for the delivery of Morse Code III to
Annapolis. “We are very much looking forward to
our offshore adventures!” exclaims Karen. Here’s to
this adventure and to many more!
Richard and Pam Wass’ first serious boat was
an O-Day 27 that they kept on Percy Priest Lake in
Nashville, Tennessee. They soon outgrew the O-Day
and graduated to a Cal 33 that they enjoyed racing
on the lake. The downside was the lake was landlocked, and they “became tired of looking at the
same old trees and scenery.” Next they moved up
to a 49 Taswell that they docked in Oriental, North
Carolina, and sailed on Pamlico Sound. After three
years of commuting to North Carolina, they felt it
was time they sold the Taswell and took a ten-year
hiatus from boating. During these years the Wasses
took time to grow their business in contract manufacturing, build a Glastar two-seater airplane, and
learn to fly.
It was on a business trip to Miami in the late
‘70s when Richard had his first experience with
Kadey-Krogen. “While visiting the then-Krogen
headquarters, I had my first look at the Krogen 38'
Cutter. I was impressed with the overall layout and
roominess. You could dance in the cockpit! I said to
myself, ‘Someday I will own one of these,’” Richard
reflects. The chance came in 2004 when they sold
their business. They were more than ready to get
back into boating. They purchased a Krogen Cutter
in Michigan and shipped it to Stuart, sailing her
around the area for three years.
Next, it was time to join the dark side. He explains,
“We all have heard the old saying ‘Sailors never die;
they just buy trawlers’ and that is just what Pam and
I did.” Pam adds, “We bought a Krogen Whaleback
which we cruised up the Intracoastal Waterway
to Essex, Connecticut, where it became our
summer home on the water for two years.”
This past spring the Wasses were enticed
by a Krogen 58', and suddenly found themselves the new owners of Papa Whiskey. That‘s
three Krogens in less than eight years! “This
speaks for the quality, value and service one
experiences by being a Krogen owner,” Pam
says. All the Wass’ Krogens
have been named Papa
Whiskey, which is taken from
“Sailors never

be Pam’s initials.
In a whirlwind of a few
weeks, the boat was safely
delivered to Essex, Connecticut, by fellow
Kadey-Krogen owner Mike Warren and his
crew. The delivery was followed by some orientation and handling instructions by Gregg
Gandy, who traveled from Stuart to Essex to
ensure that the Wasses felt confident with
their new vessel. Richard concludes, “We are
presently becoming acclimated to, and familiar
with our new and bigger summer home on the
water and hope to be soon cruising the waters
of Long Island Sound.”

The Kadey-Krogen difference
It’s All in the Details
With you, the reader, having the knowledge that I have been selling high quality yachts
for nearly 25 years, you are probably not going to believe that I wrote and wholeheartedly endorse the sentence that follows, but I did. Do not make your buying
decision based upon what you see at a boat show!
Why? Because in a show environment, boats
look nice, smell nice and have some sort of
“wow” factor. Salespeople are quick to show
you visible features of their vessels, both
inside and out–features such as their granite
countertops and barbeque–so it is easy to
leap to the conclusion that two trawlers with
similar visible features are similar in quality.
What is rarely shown is anything to back up
claims of seaworthiness and strength as well
as maintainability. But we at Kadey-Krogen
Yachts are different and what follows are
highlights of our best practices build philos-

ophy relating to seaworthiness, strength, maintainability, capability and liveability.
In a boat show environment it can be easy to
overlook three key areas in which a Kadey-Krogen
visibly differs from many other vessels. First is the
fully covered aft cockpit, which is the “back porch”
for you to enjoy throughout your travels. Since it is
fully covered the entire cockpit can be enclosed
making this space useable in almost any weather.
In addition, the overhead creates a larger boat
deck with more space up top to store a dinghy. The
second item is the stainless railing on the foredeck. These look nice on just about any boat, but
High stainless railing is a safety feature.
These entire structures will be mated with the hull.
are they tall enough? Railings that are mid-thigh
high are just plain dangerous. Third, every KadeyKrogen has at least two different height boarding
gates on each side (the 52' and 58' have three on
each side) in addition to one on the swim platform. Do others have that flexibility?
But there is much more than meets the eye.
When looking at the underwater section of the
hull, you can see Kadey-Krogen differences that
are not evident at a show. The massive stainless
steel rudder is supported with a stainless steel rudder
shoe. Many builders
utilize fiberglass rudders, some utilize a
fiberglass shoe and
some just let the
rudder hang free.
Stainless rudder with shoe
Imagine what happens to that rudder if it comes in contact with a
submerged log! Also, on our larger vessels is our
signature counter faired keel that imparts a counter rotation of water flowing into the propeller.
This in turn cancels some of the propeller-induced
water rotation and results in improved forward
thrust for better fuel economy.
Now look at the photos of the exterior of
the superstructure of the Krogen 48'. The first
point that is evident is that the cockpit,
saloon/galley, pilothouse, and foredeck are all
one vacuum-bagged piece as opposed to multiple pieces with secondary bonds or caulk
joints that result in a weaker structure. When
the time comes, this entire structure will be
lifted into place and mated with the hull.
Shortly thereafter, a third piece consisting of
the boat deck, pilothouse roof, and flybridge
will be attached. We will build an entire 48'
yacht in essentially three pieces!
Looking closer at the photos of the deck
structure you of course notice the shiny
US-made Cook® brand gelcoat; but if you look
at the backside of the structures, especially in
the photo on the next page showing the backing plates, you see some of the components of
the legendary construction of a Kadey-Krogen:
“We will build
an entire…yacht
in essentially
three pieces!”
1 All deck and superstructures are cored and
vacuum bagged to ensure an ideal ratio of
resin to mat and, while you can’t see it, all of
the coring is precisely cut from
patterns by finish carpenters so
there are no voids, which would
result in “hard spots” in the
lamination. The practice of
utilizing core material still carries
a stigma from the problematic

balsa-cored hulls found in many vessels,
however today’s modern coring materials
such as CoreCell® do not allow migration of
water should there be penetration through a
fiberglass skin, but more importantly, they
provide noise attenuation, insulation and
weight savings above the waterline where
weight matters most.

are reinforced with fiberglass stiffeners.
3 Mahogany backing plates are vacuum
bagged into place wherever hardware will
be placed. You can see several blocks in
place under the cap rail. The stanchions
on the foredeck will be attached to these
backing plates.

never normally see. You will not
stick your hand into any cavity and get
fiberglass splinters.
Backing plates under the cap rail will hold

The bulkheads that are tied into those
massive stringers are all marine-grade
plywood and encapsulated in fiberglass
resin to eliminate any chance of moisture
penetration. The forward bulkhead creates
a watertight collision bulkhead accessible
only from the foredeck through a watertight
“submarine” hatch.
Last and certainly not
least is what sets a
Kadey-Krogen hull
apart from the
competition: an
aramid reinforced hull. This aramid fiber is
stronger than ballistic steel and is the
same fiber used to give body armor its
“bullet-proof” capability.
We are committed to providing the highest quality trawler yachts in the industry.
When we say a Kadey-Krogen yacht is “At
Home on any Sea,” we mean it! If you are
looking for a trawler with capability and
liveability qualities to take you wherever
you want to go, then you owe it to yourself
to look under the covers. You will be surprised at what you find or perhaps more
importantly, what you will not find.

Cruising with Confidence by Jeanne Bateman, Sea Dweller, KK 44'
It’s all Larry Polster’s fault. At the Krogen Cruisers Fall 2010 Rendezvous, Larry spoke as he has
every year. But this time he didn’t provide a Kadey-Krogen update. Instead he broached the idea of offshore
cruising–not cruises led by Kadey-Krogen Yachts, but by the Cruisers themselves who could tap into the
offshore capability of their boats with a bit of organizing and leadership. I think he was a bit skeptical that
we’d really pull it off. (Perhaps it was his reference that likened getting Krogen Cruisers to act in concert
to herding cats.) Whether it was that challenge or something else in his presentation that piqued people’s
interest, who knows? Two multi-night offshore cruises evolved.
Prep, prep and more prep
The committee met in Stuart in December to size the
total number of hours of each cruise, set cruise dates and
brainstorm the contents of the solicitation of interest to be
emailed to all Krogen Cruisers. In looking at dates for the
Stuart to Beaufort cruise, we considered a full moon, the
Mother’s Day holiday, and the typical June 1 insurance date
for boats to be north of Florida.
Betty Robinson (LiLi, KK 48') and I volunteered to cochair the committee dubbed “Cruising with Confidence:
Cruising Beyond the ICW.” At the Rendezvous we had
met with other Krogen owners who were interested in
the idea, and the nucleus of the committee was born. At
that first interest meeting, we agreed to pursue Larry’s
two suggested cruises. The first would be from Stuart,
Florida, to Beaufort, North Carolina, and the second from
Annapolis, Maryland, to Block Island, Rhode Island. We
later revised our New England destination to Wickford,
Rhode Island, because our cruise timing conflicted with
race week at Block Island.
14
We sent a solicitation by email in late December.
Interested people were asked to respond to questions to get a feel for offshore overnight experience
and barriers to offshore cruising that participants
wanted to overcome. We also asked for people to
respond whether they’d like to participate using their
own boats or to serve as crew.
In mid-January, the committee held its first conferconfer
ence call meeting (all subsequent meetings were
conference calls). Betty had both the big picture and
a good grasp of all the details needed for the cruises.
The committee was split into three subgroups:
Organization of Participants, Safety Prerequisites, and
Cruising Ground Rules and Procedures. We initially
focused on safety prerequisites including strongly
recommended equipment and crew minimums, to
give participants ample time to acquire, line up and
prepare what was needed. We had no authority to
mandate minimums, but tried to articulate what we
thought would ensure a safe and comfortable cruise.
The hottest debate was over life rafts. In the end,
most boats left the dock with one on board.
The next big undertaking was choosing a navigation route. For the Stuart to Beaufort leg, three were
debated: following the coast about 15 miles offshore
at each Class A inlet, running in the Gulf Stream
directly from Fort Pierce to Beaufort up to 100 miles
offshore, and one in between. Our decisions were
always driven by the underlying purpose of the trips–
not speed, but to provide an experience that would
build the confidence of the participating crews. We
felt our target audience was those with little or no
offshore multiple overnight experience. We opted to
walk before we ran, and so the route closer in was
selected. This provided opportunities for participants
to head to shore in just a few hours if need be. The
entire trip was about 80 hours and included three
nights at sea.
The selection of the navigation route for
Annapolis to Wickford was more straightforward.
There was only one course to choose from once
exiting the Delaware Bay, to run north and east
along the southern coast of Long Island. There
would be no bailout opportunities after we
moved away from the New Jersey shoreline.
With these two foundation decisions made
and communicated to the interested participants, the committee subgroups settled down to
flesh out all the details over the next ten weeks.
Participants were emailed updates of the committee’s progress, and were given the lists of
recommendations and procedures for crew and
equipment for offshore cruising, safety items
and spares to carry onboard, damage control kit,
maintenance survey for offshore cruising, educational resources, navigation route, watch schedules, operational logs, radio communication
protocols, cruising responsibilities of the group
leader and of individual boats, and operational
cruising weather procedures.
All of this information was compiled into a
“Cruising with Confidence Guide” that the committee published on the Krogen Cruiser website
so that the entire membership might benefit from
the planning efforts.
The final step of preparation was the captains’
meeting the afternoon before our scheduled
departure. All crew were encouraged to attend
and most did. We reviewed most of the cruising
guidelines from the CWC Guide: responsibilities,
communications, course, formation and, most
importantly, the latest weather forecasts. John
Holum quipped that this cruisers expedition was
planned better than the Normandy invasion.

“Station keeping is

The proof is in the pudding
How well would all the planning pay off? At
6 A.M., Tuesday, May 10, 2011, eight KadeyKrogens threw off lines and headed north to
the Fort Pierce inlet. Within an hour, one
engine on Solveig IV overheated. Cleaning out
and changing the sea strainer brought no relief.
The Holums headed to a dock at Fort Pierce
to have a diver look at the boat and with hopes
to catch up with the group. With our lead boat
out of commission, LiLi was unanimously
“volunteered” to lead our V-formation once
we cleared the inlet. Conditions were partly
cloudy with just a six-inch to one-foot chop;
we were off.
Station keeping is an art. Calibrating speed
and relative position kept everyone occupied
initially. It certainly was reassuring to see a
Krogen beside you any time you looked out
the pilothouse door. A jellyfish clogged a sea
strainer aboard Grand Adventure, but was quickly
cleared. Betty led our radio status calls like
a pro and everyone else reported in all OK.
Within a few hours we saw our first sea turtle.
Two boats had fishing lines in the water, hoping to get lucky, and one did–catch and release.

picked up and so the waves did too, but the two- to
three-footers were a following sea.
Midday on Wednesday, we heard from
Solveig IV. Removal of some barnacles in the raw
water intake had quickly fixed their overheating
problem and she had not only caught up to us, but
had passed us! She had headed further east out
into the Gulf Stream where she screamed along
over ten knots and was headed west to rejoin us.
Shortly thereafter, the Navy announced live fire
exercises in the area we were traveling. After a
quick radio consultation, our fleet made a course
correction and steamed on. Now get this: the Navy
radioed a fishing boat within the live fire range and
his response was, “You just keep doing what you’re
doing and I’ll keep doing what I’m doing and we’ll
be just fine.” The Navy’s action was to change their
coordinates!! Solveig IV rejoined us a few hours later
after negotiating a course with the Navy, and LiLi
gratefully relinquished the lead and took up position in the middle of the back row. Hats off to Betty
for jumping in and doing a superb job of leading us.
The second night brought a bit more excitement.
Dawn Treader captured it beautifully. They wrote,
“Picture this: you are the captain of an oil tanker,
headed for Savannah at about midnight, when the
mate says, ‘Capt’, look at this on the radar.’ What
he sees is a V-shaped return from a single point
in front expanding to two miles wide at the back
and three miles long from tip to tail. Peering out
into the darkness the wedge shape is confirmed by
eight sets of running lights. While pondering this
you notice that while the V-shape is still in perfect
form, the wedge is now sliding sideways off to the
east and no longer on a collision course. But just
to make sure, you decide to show every light your
tanker possesses. You continue to Savannah and
the wedge continues to Beaufort, NC.” A sight
to behold!
By the third night, the trip was beginning to tire
some of us. Our entertainment for the night was
a lone fisherman. We could see him on radar and
caught a glimpse of his lights now and again. John
Holum radioed him to which he responded,
“I ain’t got no radar, but I can see y’alls’ lights.
What are you?” Turns out his concern was that we
were Georgia shrimpers coming into his territory.
Radio check-ins and the occasional joke helped
pass the rest of the night.
Friday the weather, winds and waves were kind
and the fleet rolled into Beaufort at 2 P.M., 80 hours
after leaving Stuart. Over dinner at Floyd’s that
night, we all shared our special moments. Many of
the crew had experienced overnight travel at sea for
the first time and standing watch alone for the first
time. There were many expressions of thanks for the
willingness of other helm watchers to look out for
each other–especially women to women. Whether
or not people choose to undertake a similar trip
again, I think they feel more confident that they can
do it. So Betty, if the proof is in the pudding,
it tasted pretty sweet. All that planning did
pay off.
The fleet on radar
Reflections
Having participated in the planning and doing
both Cruising with Confidence trips, I have
a keener appreciation for the preparation
required for offshore cruising. All those safety
items gave me comfort that we had back up if
needed. The fleets had planned for the worst
and hoped for the best. All paid off. Radio
protocols established in advance made it easy
to quickly discuss a matter at hand. I am also
much more comfortable using the chart plotter
and radar than ever before. Some of that just
comes with doing. I always knew we had a boat
well suited to offshore cruising; now I know that
I can ably crew on her.

Commissioning:
A Masterpiece in Progress
From the blog of Bunnie Eccleston, Serenity, KK 48'AE
If you’re like me and have never experienced the commissioning of a new boat, you
must be asking yourself at this point, “Aren’t they done yet?” We went through a whole
season of shows and an open house this past winter where we allowed Serenity to be
on display. Fortunately, many people got to see our brand new baby. Unfortunately,
that meant our commissioning process was a little extended. Below are excerpts from
my blog detailing what the process was like. Believe me, it was worth the wait!
…The “big” items have been completed with
the exception of the electronics installation.
Since the electronics are the “brains” of the
boat, extreme care and precision are needed
here. I don’t know if you noticed, but Serenity
has a radar arch instead of the traditional
mast and boom. Though the mast and boom
present a more typical “salty” profile, the arch
is sexier and provides a perfect platform for
various antennae and little domes.
Photos by Gregg Gandy
18
Though the Captain, my husband Tom, might not
like to read this, the absence of the mast and boom
gives me more room to entertain on the flybridge–
more room to dance! Also, when we eventually get
our dinghy, it’ll be mounted behind the main part of
the flybridge, so I can even set up a little bistro there.
Okay, back to the electronics. Many of you have
emailed me asking me what we finally selected. There
are pages of the stuff, but I can give you the basics
here. The Captain did much research on this topic
(while I was busy selecting cushion fabrics). After
consulting with other KKY owners, long-time boating
buddies, friends in the marine transportation business and Coast Guard Auxiliary friends, Tom decided
on Garmin, the same choice we installed on For Us,
our Krogen 39'. Thanks to a larger pilothouse and
some modifications in the new AE model, the
electronics panel on Serenity is huge–big enough
for three different screens.
We opted for two separate 15" screens for chart
plotting and for GPS and weather, and separate
smaller screens for autopilot and rudder angle display. If he is so inclined, the Captain can watch a
football game on one of the screens while navigating
(he better not)! There’s a Ritchie compass mounted
where we can see it without standing on tiptoe. In
the photo the radio is not yet
installed but is very important.
The speaker for the Bose system
is already there, above the instrument panel. First things first.
Earlier I mentioned how handy
the radar arch was for antennae
and domes. This is one of the
smaller data domes for WiFi and
other neat devices.
I asked the Captain to provide
some more information on the electronics package
he selected. So for all you techno-wizards out there,
here’s a rundown of the mostly-Garmin package
highlights: four 7215 chart plotters (GPS), two on the
flybridge and two in the pilothouse; two 300
series VHF radios; multi-gauge autopilot; depth
sounder; sonar; 404 open array radar; satellite
TV and weather; Sirius XM radio; WiFi; weather
station for wind speed and direction, barometric pressure and water temperature.
Other features: AIS; closed circuit TV for
engine room and stern; video input to GPS and
closed circuit TV; six-man Viking life raft; Class 1
EPIRB; spotlight; BOSE surround sound base
system with remote control; zoned audio output also with remote control in stern, salon,
pilothouse and flybridge. This boat has a fire
suppression system in the engine room, a fuel
polishing system, Reverso oil change system
and all the other bells and whistles one would
expect to find in a boat of
this size and caliber.
Although commissioning
is a careful and thoughtful
process, the KKY folks have
made it a fun and exciting
experience–even though
we’re a few miles away. The
daily emails with accompanying photos keep Tom and
me going when the days
seem too long. Those folks helped turn our
dream into reality!
…Another aspect of the commissioning process is the unbelievable process of selecting a

“So what’s so

choosing a
decal, you ask?”
name. Once that hurdle is mastered, there’s
a decision of how to apply that name to the
boat: decal vs. paint. We chose the decal route
since it worked so well on For Us. So what’s so
tough about choosing a decal, you ask? About
a gazillion different scripts, fonts, finishes,
colors, etc, that’s what! Believe it or not, this
process took a bit over two weeks.
When you look closely at the name on the
stern, you’ll see a little blue star in the swirl of
the “y.” That swirl and star are actually part of
our signature design. Tom designed a decal
for the bow that truly is exquisite. This scroll
appears not only on the bow but on the
nameboards as well.
Tom and I couldn’t be happier with our
selections. Though we didn’t go overboard (no
pun intended), we did select the highest quality we could manage. With the solid guidance
of the KKY team, we put the most essential
items first on our list, were helped to establish
priorities and were never steered to purchase
one particular item over another. We were
given choices every step of the way. As previous Krogen owners, we knew from experience
that both the vendors and equipment brands
suggested were top notch. We haven’t been
disappointed. Believe me, the Captain is not
an easy man to please when things are not
going according to plan, and he has been
delighted.
…For those of you who are following this
commissioning process, you will note the
20
addition of the ladder on the starboard side. Though
this boat now has (beautifully) molded steps up to
the flybridge, at that time the Captain wanted immediate access.
You have to understand why I love the new molded
steps as an alternative to the ladder. That’s because
it’s always me who goes up and down the ladder
countless times during a cruise. Picture this: In order
to safely navigate, one needs charts, so up the ladder
I go with a huge chart under one arm while I climb
the ladder holding onto one rail. One needs to see
distances, so up I go again with the binoculars
around my neck, sunglasses for both of us under one
arm–and again I shimmy up holding onto one rail.
“Oh, oh, where’s the autopilot?” the Captain asks.
Oops, down I go for the autopilot (luckily it can be
hung around my neck) so I have a free hand to bring
up a bottle of water with a cooler cozy stuck in my
teeth. Hopefully the addition of the refrigerator to
the flybridge’s summer kitchen will end that issue!
I’m picturing the fridge stocked with water, soda
and whatever else will keep me on the flybridge and
not in the galley while underway! BTW, the fridge sits
in a cabinet that is holding a BBQ grill (under the
canvas cover). Luckily the Captain loves to grill.
Now we can enjoy a nice, relaxing day on the water.
I'm sure you understand my love affair with our new
molded steps. Who would have thought molded
steps could bring such ecstasy?
Speaking of ecstasy, wait until you take a look at
our brightwork (cap strip/rail). Though some KKY
owners elect to paint their brightwork (it saves hours
of cleaning, wiping and polishing, not to mention dollars on upkeep), there is nothing more beautiful and
traditional than softly gleaming teak brightwork. Teak
captures the sun’s rays like no other wood, casting a
warm, mellow glow in all types of lighting. Teak cap
strips are evocative of the romance of transatlantic
cruises on the famous grand ships of the past. Just
look! You can see the wood’s fine grain and the luster enhanced by the sun.
…While I was carried away describing the
commissioning process, I neglected to tell you
about the award Serenity won in late January at the
Fort Lauderdale Trawler Fest. During the show, as
attendees tour the boats they are asked to vote on
the boat they think is “Best in Show.” You got it–
Serenity was voted Peoples’ Choice, even though she
had been stateside for only two weeks! She
was one of about 50 other trawlers and blew
away the competition. When KKY’s Laura Kanzer
called to tell me the news, we were both in tears.
To think a boat could win this coveted award
strictly on her lines, beautifully finished interior
space and mechanical attributes, speaks
volumes for this company and their unerring
ability to build fantastic boats. The wonderful
KKY folks accepted a Tiffany crystal bowl
and beautiful wood covered log on our behalf.
It’s very exciting to be the owners of a
show-stopping boat, right?
The Ecclestons welcomed Serenity to her home berth on
April 9, 2011. You can follow Bunnie’s blog in its entirety,
and many other owners’ postings, from the Owners’ Blogs
