Waypoints The Newsletter of Kadey-Krogen Yachts | Summer 2010 ON DECK: Kadey-Krogen 48' :: Life After the First 5,000 Miles :: Introducing the Krogen 52' :: Welcome, New Owners Regata del Sol al Sol Glad to Be Aboard a Kadey-Krogen By Shannon Band Kadey-Krogen Yachts’ newest crew member, Shannon Band, was thrown into the fire so to speak for one of her first assignments as marketing and sales assistant: accompany Jack and Jo Brinkerhoff aboard their 1999 Krogen 39’, Bodacious, as they participated as a support vessel in the 2010 Regata del Sol al Sol held this April from St. Petersburg, Florida, to Isla Mujeres, Mexico. The weather? She was honking. The seas? Monstrous. It was a very good thing that Shannon was aboard a Kadey-Krogen! “You said you’ll try anything once. How would you like to cruise to Mexico across the Gulf?” For a second I was stunned as Larry Polster sat across from me in my office in Annapolis, waiting for an answer. Before I could respond he explained that the rules for the Regata del Sol al Sol called for Jack and Jo Brinkerhoff to have at least two additional crew aboard their Krogen 39', Bodacious, and he thought that me and my dad Bill Band, a Chesapeake Bay ship pilot for 35 years, would be perfect. My dad and I have always been very close. We used to take what we dubbed “father-daughter bonding trips” that found us scuba diving in the Bahamas, horseback riding and camping in the mountains of West Virginia, and Continued on page 2 Continued from page 1 Dolphins play off the bow “He had a four-foot line ‘to tether us together... I doubt that will happen though.’” Continued from page 1 whitewater rafting down the Youghiogheny River in Pennsylvania among other places. My mother, whom I’m also very close with, always supported these excursions. As I researched the Regata del Sol, I learned that the first race took place in 1969 and has been sailed every year since. It was organized by Miguel Aleman, then Mexico’s Secretary of Tourism, and several yachting principals along the Gulf Coast. A few regattas are still sailed every year from different U.S. cities to Isla Mujeres, and another, the Regata de Amigos, sails every other year from Houston to Vera Cruz. I loved our Captain Greg Sapp’s description of when he’d taken this very trip with the Brinkerhoffs, calling it “part open ocean sailing yacht race, part friendly cultural exchange mission, part annual festival and part beach party.” How could one say no? Preparations Getting us ready for this adventure, my dad made sure to bring me along to the Safety at Sea seminar at the U.S. Naval Academy in which he and other experts speak every year about their niches in the marine industry. I learned how the Coast Guard communicates with vessels in the water, interesting facts about weather systems, appropriate medical protocol if injured aboard or abroad, collision avoidance, and different SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) products. Dad picked us up life jackets, whistles, sea bags, sleeping bags as well as other assorted necessities. While he was showing me all the new purchases and explaining our life jackets, he passively mentioned that should we end up in the water he 2 had a four-foot line “to tether us together. I don’t want to lose you.” Mind you, while I’ve grown up on and around boats, the only offshore cruising I have done has been on passenger ships. There was something in my eyes that made him add, “I doubt that will happen though.” Comforting, right? I spoke with the Brinkerhoffs on several occasions and was delighted to find out that not only were they experienced cruisers, they also had senses of humor. That would be good when sharing a confined space for four days. We addressed the mileage, effective measures to prevent seasickness, and the alternating three-hour watches. I was designated with the 7-10 A.M. and 7-10 P.M. shifts. Coincidence that everyone on board would likely be awake at those hours? Probably not. I knew I had a lot to learn. Before we knew it we were all packed and en route to St. Petersburg, Florida. Day 1 Jack picked us up at the airport on a Wednesday and took us over to the St. Petersburg Yacht Club. There she was–Bodacious, our home and transportation for the next few days. She was in beautiful condition and obviously well loved. As Bodacious’ purpose in this regatta was to carry humanitarian aid, many storage compartments and the engine room had already been packed with boxes of school supplies, games and medical supplies. We also carried wheelchairs securely fastened on the flybridge. Once we settled in, Jack walked us through the boat so that we could get familiar with her. There was an inflatable life raft as well as two 10-gallon jugs of fresh water in the lazarette. The EPIRB, life jackets and a variety of flares could all be found in the pilothouse and fire extinguishers throughout. Once the safety aspects had been covered Jack began a tutorial of the GPS, radar, compass and radios. At one point I asked what we could expect our trip to be like. Jack matter-of-factly responded, “The first 48 hours should be a walk in the park. The last 24 are going to be [insert long, suspenseful pause] unpleasant.” I took this with a grain of salt. Sounded like the perfect mix of fun and excitement to me! I was assured there would be plenty to write about. We set off through the Tampa Bay at about 8:30 P.M. and it wasn’t long before we were out in the Gulf, making our way down to Isla Mujeres. I awoke at dawn, just before I was to take my first watch. I couldn’t believe how placid the water was! It literally looked like a lake. I was mesmerized. I had never seen such a beautiful, brilliant shade of blue. The water was calm enough that later in the day I was napping, soaking up the sun on the flybridge, when I was awakened by Jo to let me know there were dolphins playing in the waves on our bow. Though the encounter was briefer than I would have liked, it was exhilarating to see these beautiful creatures so intimately. The other animals we encountered offshore were certainly different: Two exhausted barn swallows landed on our vessel to get some rest. One even landed on my dad’s shoulder while the other slept peacefully in the galley. The day ended as beautifully as it began. We were all a little disappointed there was no “green flash” as the sun set, but vowed to watch every night determined to see one. At 8 P.M. Jack called the weather service he subscribed to, as he did every night. The meteorologist let us know our “walk in the park” weather window was just about to close. As my watch neared its end, the swells were getting bigger and bigger. Little did I know that much of the rest of the time underway would be spent in swells even larger. Days 2 and 3 I had a restless sleep because of the rough waters we were in and was admittedly not as bright-eyed as I was the previous morning for my watch. I was at the helm for about 30 minutes before I made the discovery I had feared: I do get seasick offshore and the patch is not effective for me. I mentally tried to fight it, but it was just too late. The only place I was comfortable was stretched out on the settee in the saloon. By dinnertime we were somewhat in the lee of Cuba, calming the seas and my stomach, so I was feeling okay enough to join everyone in the pilothouse for dinner and didn’t want to miss the sunset. Jack again checked in with the weather service and the race committee. The weather service report was even more discouraging than when we had left St. Petersburg. What was to be Continued on page 4 3 Bill Band “The first 48 hours should be a walk in the park. The last 24 or so are going to be... unpleasant.” Continued from page 3 “Jack, how big would you say the swells are out there? ‘Monsters.’” unpleasant was now Day 4 downright brutal.

Natalie said, “There is and president of Fawcett Boat Supplies until its sale in 2005.

Casey Graves is now in Costa Rica. 5 Marketing & Sales Assistant Fan Mail Shannon Band After reading Kadey-Krogen Vice-President Tom Button’s article “Yes, We Can” in a recent Krogen Cruisers newsletter, Tom and Bunnie Eccleston of Huntington, New York, new owners of 2005 Krogen 39', For Us, e-mailed him to share the experience they had working with the Kadey-Krogen staff and their satisfaction with their trawler. Shannon’s Watch My life has certainly been a bit of a whirlwind since I joined the KadeyKrogen crew at the end of January. In the past few months I have been to Seattle, Miami, San Diego, Mexico, and Anacortes with more trips on the horizon. I am somewhat of a rolling stone, and am enthralled by living onthe-go; not to mention that I am very lucky I was able to find a job that satisfies my appetite for travel. While I love that I physically get to go places, I also especially love to hear from Krogen owners about all their plans, cruises and adventures. I can almost feel the wind in my hair, the sun on my face and the motion of the boat under my feet as I live vicariously through their stories. For that reason, I wanted this particular Waypoints to focus on our boats and their capabilities as well as the people who are living their dreams and taking adventures. Perhaps they are living your dreams as well. We’ve included a section highlighting the reengineered Krogen 48' North Sea. With all the buzz surrounding our new Krogen 52', here is a formal introduction to what is certain to be a very popular model. I was fortunate enough to make my first offshore voyage on a Kadey-Krogen from St. Petersburg, Florida, to Isla Mujeres, Mexico, and document it for this issue. I also interview a liveaboard couple who are taking their time exploring the world as they please with no set schedule. And I can’t forget to mention Captain Greg Sapp’s witty and compelling article emphasizing that timing is everything. Please enjoy my inaugural issue as editor of Waypoints. I encourage you to imagine all the journeys you could have on your Kadey-Krogen, whether you own one yet or not. I love hearing from owners and prospective owners alike, so if you have a story to share or comments about Waypoints, please send an e-mail to [email protected]. And don’t forget to keep up with my blog! www.kadeykrogen.com/blog. 6 I just read your article in the Krogen Cruisers newsletter and wanted to say “right on!” We’ve had For Us in Stuart since we took ownership in November in North Carolina. This was at Greg Sapp’s recommendation so we’d be close to your offices and have a winter “condo” while we got her in shape. She was rarely used by her former owner (400 hours on the engine and less on the generator) and needed lots of attention below the surface so to speak. All I can say is that your service department particularly Laura and Gregg are aces. They’ve responded to our every need and/or request for help as though we just bought a 58'. My wife and I just can’t say enough about their responsiveness and courtesy. And there’s Greg Sapp who’s held our hand through this all. I felt the need to share our feelings with you on this matter and of course tell you how much we love our Krogen 39'. We’ll miss you all when we head home in April but we are comfortable knowing that you’re just a phone call away. –T.E. Bunnie followed up with her own e-mail. The first time I ever saw a Krogen was at TrawlerFest in Greenport, NY, last June. Tom had been doing his homework (very quietly I might add) and sort of “mentioned” looking at a trawler. I volunteered to take the ride with him and the rest is history. Though my initial encounter was with a 44' and 48', I loved the overall design, quality craftsmanship of the interior and exterior spaces and the “liveability” of the boat. I must confess that my feelings for our boat came as a bit of a surprise–it was really love at first sight and that love grows more intense each time I step aboard. We are having a great time provisioning her, from stem to stern and everything in between. When I describe For Us to the uninitiated, I use words like “a floating condo,” “waterfront property that can be changed at will,” “wonderful neighbors who have the same interests but are not annoying,” and a feeling of coziness and supreme happiness. We are very happy. –Bunnie Life After the First 5,000 Miles Lena Blais and Larry McGill, 1987 Krogen 42' Hobo Lena Blais and Larry McGill sailed the world in an “almost” circumnavigation of over 41,000 miles on a Slocum 43 cutter rig, Allons’y. Now they cruise aboard a 1987 Krogen 42', Hobo, the fourth boat they’ve owned together. In a recent Krogen Cruisers newsletter article, “The First 5,000 Miles,” they documented their first eighteen months of ownership including travel from Sitka, Alaska, to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. We caught up with them by e-mail in April to find out what their life is like as they continue on their way to Panama and into the Caribbean. Where are you now? We are anchored out at Los Frailes, a remote anchorage on the East Cape of the Baja Peninsula, 45 miles northeast of Cabo San Lucas. We just crossed the Sea of Cortez from Mazatlan, a 165-mile, 26-hour trip. What are your plans for the next year? We’ll spend another summer in the Sea of Cortez. We plan to be in Zihuatanejo for Christmas this year as a goal to get us south. By this time next year we should be in Central America, most likely El Salvador. Other than that, it’s pretty loose. Your long-range plans are to bring Hobo to the east coast over the next four to five years. Where will you visit along the way? We’re looking forward to some time in Central America, particularly Panama, as this is new cruising territory for us. We’ve heard nothing but positives about the San Blas Islands and hope to spend some time there. We look forward to returning to Trinidad to tackle a few boat projects. We stopped in Trinidad on Allons’y and were very impressed by the craftsmanship available there. And we know we can spend lots of time in the Caribbean where we really enjoyed cruising on our sailboat. “We don’t have a land-based home and I find I don’t miss having one.” Continued on page 8 Oregon coast 7 Continued from page 7 “A definite highlight has to be snorkeling with the humpback whales in the island nation of Nuie.” Morgan “ The Boat Dog” watches a porpoise play. How have your experiences on Hobo differed from those on your sailboat, Allons’y? There are probably more similarities than differences–even to the point that we’ve run into some of the same people we cruised with 10 years ago! The primary differences may have more to do with changes in us rather than with our boats. First of all, we’re now cruising with a dog. He’s a joy to have aboard, but it’s a change! And we know more now, which isn’t necessarily better–just different. I guess one big change is the way we dress when doing a passage. The days of donning our foul weather gear and sitting under the dodger of the sailboat are gone–and we don’t miss them. Also, while at anchor we enjoy the visibility from the saloon or pilothouse. It sure beats peeking through the portholes on the sailboat. What is your favorite aspect of Hobo? Lena: I love the spaciousness and hominess of Hobo. We don’t have a land-based home and I find I don’t miss having one. Larry: I guess for me it’s the access to the boat systems and the size of the engine room. The boat is simple to work on and I like the creature comforts. The separation of space is also great. We spend 24/7 together and, as much as we love each other, it is nice to be able to spread out at times. What is life like living aboard and cruising Hobo around the world? We’re generally on the move every three to five days and rarely stay in one spot more than a month or so at a time. We keep our clocks on boat time which may or may not be local time. We change time zones a lot and it is easier for us to use boat time which follows the sun instead of an arbitrary boundary. Confusing at times, but we make it work! Shopping and running errands is always fun and challenging without a car. When we tell folks back home how we’ll either walk, ride a bus or hitchhike to the store and then carry everything back to the boat, they sometimes look a little startled. We also tend to spend most of our time at anchor, though we enjoy (and appreciate!) the comforts of marina life from time to time. There’s always a boat project to tackle, a new beach to explore, new people to meet, more fish to catch. There are downsides of course (gnarly weather, being far from family and friends, the inopportune system failure), but we’ve found that the good outweighs the not-so-good. Where was your favorite destination so far? This is a question that we’re often asked and the short reply is that there are too many places to list! French Polynesia was a special place for both of us; Lena (speaking French) was able to get to know a few of the islanders and Larry (an avid fisherman) was able to fish to his heart’s content in pristine, fertile waters. But we also tell people that if we only had a couple of weeks of vacation time, we’d want to go back to South Africa where the game parks, the scenery and the sense of history are simply outstanding. Is there any particular destination you’d like to travel to? We’ve never toured Europe or cruised the Med and that would be a nice trip to do. We’re thinking we might like to take the Great Circle Route through the States. What is your most memorable moment since you set off on your adventure? Like trying to pick a favorite place, it’s hard to narrow it down to a single event. We’ve had so many incredible experiences–one-on-one encounters with nature and with wonderful people from such completely different backgrounds. A definite highlight has to be snorkeling with the humpback whales in the island nation of Nuie. We’ll also always remember our first sevu-sevu (a 8 traditional Fijian ceremony in which a visitor is welcomed by a village chief), helping clean the nets at the Madagascar fish camp, and many special times shared with great friends. Do you have any advice for the people who are considering “coming to the dark side”– switching from a sailboat to a trawler? It’s amazing how many sailboaters stop by and introduce themselves so that they can come see Hobo. What’s not to like about a trawler? It’s roomier than a sailboat and you can head into the wind when you need to. The amount of work to maintain a trawler may be a bit more, but that’s offset by the ease of travel. We’ve heard the comment that we’re too “young” to have made the switch, but trawlers aren’t just for those who aren’t as agile as they once were! There’s nothing wrong with wanting to slow down and relax. FYI, there’s actually a trawler down here in Mexico named The Dark Side... At anchor in Mexico 9 The Newest Kadey-Krogen Yacht Krogen 52' Takes Off, Sells Itself “Krogen 52' is constructed with entirely new tooling as opposed to the all-too-common industry practice of simply ‘stretching’ the hull of a smaller model.” In mid-January we made the first announcement introducing the Krogen 52' via e-mail. Over the next few weeks we shared our plans with customers at the Fort Lauderdale Trawler Fest and Seattle Boat Show, and by early February we had Letters of Intent for the first five hulls. Over the ensuing with our adherence to architectural integrity, the Krogen 52' is constructed with entirely new tooling as opposed to the all-too-common industry practice of simply “stretching” the hull of a smaller model. The liveability of the Krogen 52' is evident immediately upon boarding. The fully covered aft deck or “back porch” gives way to the spacious saloon through welded aluminum weather-tight doors.

Their two cats, Soft Tail and Comet, accompany them on all ventures. Margot and Jerry Ladd are the new owners of Krogen 5818, Change of Latitude. Similar to many other Krogen owners, Jerry has his own “…with more ship under business, Colorado Cindy and Paul Engel were in the Bahamas last Paul and our feet for a safer feel Cindy Engel Doorways Inc., and winter aboard their new Krogen 48', Bulldog Sally. while not yet retired, and more comfortable The Engels have homes in Malden Bridge, New York, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida; their Kadey-Krogen’s felt now was a good adventures.” homeport will be wherever she takes them.

Yet, after one boatless winter in Florida, Paul (who likes to work “The volume of interior space, on as much as pilot the exterior look and the hull boats) started looking at brokerage yachts at form, plus the back porch yachtworld.com and were features that sold us.” at another brand of trawler yacht in particular. Also noticing a Krogen 39' listed, the Engels met Bill Harris in the Stuart office who showed them a 44' and a 48' as well. Not long afterwards Bill called them with an opportunity to own a new Krogen 48' that “fit what we want to do.” Says Paul, “The volume of interior space, the exterior Jerry and Margot Ladd look and the hull form, plus the back porch were features that sold us. We had commissioned two new 12 property in the Grapeview area, which will be their homeport. Jerry notes, “We both have a lot of connections and responsibilities in Denver, but we’re ready for new adventures.” Why the name Change of Latitude? He explains, “The trawler is named in honor of Denver’s being located at the 40th parallel and Seattle much closer to the 48th parallel,” where they will be keeping her at Shilshole Bay Marina. The couple has been married for 35 years and have three children and one grandson. As former owners of a Grand Banks 42 Heritage Classic, they converted to a Krogen 58' for their dreams of cruising around North America “with more ship under our feet for a safer feel and more comfortable adventures.” While long-range plans have yet to be determined, they tentatively plan to “first head north to Alaska, then maybe the Gulf of California, the Panama Canal, the Caribbean, and maybe even the Great Lakes. Time and circumstance will tell. We’ll just figure it out as we go along–no time frames, no schedules.” They were initially attracted to Kadey-Krogen out of general curiosity after seeing ads in magazines and exploring the website. As for how they made the final decision to buy, Jerry exclaims, “I guess we went to one too many boat shows!” Ginger Marshall and Gary St. Arnaud of Seattle, Washington, have purchased Krogen 4422. They previously had a 37' Bavaria sailboat and now have converted to “the dark side.” Ginger says, “Being sailboaters, we enjoy the journey and were not looking for a fast boat. We chose a Kadey-Krogen because the boats have many sailboat characteristics in terms of hull design and stability, yet offer the comfort of a trawler.” They selected a Krogen 44' because they felt the layout and size were well-suited for a couple. They also feel she has a “‘salty’ look and a robustness about her. We wanted the ability to travel in the same waters and in the same conditions as we had with the sailboat.” They had their first taste of how the boat handled when they brought her before commissioning from Victoria, British Columbia, to Seattle across the Strait of Juan de Fuca–in 13 degree weather, 30 knot winds and seven-foot seas no less! Gary notes, “These were waters we typically traveled in our sail- boat.

Most personally, it is the toast for the Canadian Military Engineers of which Gary was Gary St. Arnaud and Ginger Marshall one for many years. Travel plans include the West Coast, north to Alaska, and the Salish Sea. They are in the final stretch of commissioning and found the Krogen experience to have been “wonderful” from initial sales to service support. They look forward to many hours of cruising as the summer approaches and anticipate making countless fond and exciting memories of their travels. Continued on page 14 13 What Is a Full Circle Kadey-Krogen Owner? By Sue and Will Parry Sue and Will Parry Continued from page 13 Sue and Will Parry have recently taken delivery of their fourth Kadey-Krogen, a 48' North Sea named Second Star. It all started in the late 1990s when Will was researching trawlers with bluewater capabilities but was unable to derive any interest from “The Admiral.” At the time they had an express-style planing hull boat. They discovered it was not a well-found vessel as it started to fall apart in a brisk seaway. When they were blessed to find a safe harbor and stepped onto terra firma, Sue’s first comment to Will was, “Okay, you have not lost me from boating but let’s go look at those trawlers!” When it came time to name their first Kadey-Krogen a little more than ten years ago they were quick to define the personality of their boat and crew. Sue comments, “We engaged in a lively discussion that led me to issue a frequent directive to Will, ‘Please stop being Peter Pan and focus on what we need to accomplish.’” Will found the verse that is part of the directions to Neverland: Second Star to the right and straight on till morning. Neverland is a “We know the 48' place of dreams, North Sea has the and those the Second Star crew has plenty long range and of! The Down East offshore capabilities Loop, the Bahamas, Bermuda and the we require.” Caribbean are just a few. “We know the 48' North Sea has the long range and offshore capabilities we require.” They reflected on their long relationship with Kadey-Krogen Yachts (see “What is a Full Circle Owner”) as their new boat was delivered to Hartge Yacht Yard in Galesville, Maryland. “The entire staff at Kadey-Krogen works together like a ‘well oiled machine’ from the sales team through to the commissioning team. They presented us with a truly elegant lady!” A full circle Kadey-Krogen owner starts with a 48' North Sea and five boats later ends with a 48' North Sea. So as you come aboard the new Second Star you will enter the “Full Circle Saloon.” Why did we come full circle? There are a host of compelling reasons. Kadey-Krogen trawler yachts are surefooted in all seas, warmly embraced by their owners and have a personality that endears all who are blessed to travel aboard one of these beautiful yachts. But there‘s more. We have had the good fortune of living aboard our Kadey-Krogens as well as cruising part-time and full-time for numerous years. The first Second Star truly captivated our hearts and souls. Even as we traveled through many years with different boats including two other Kadey-Krogen models, the 48' North Sea continued to be the vessel of our dreams. Now we all know you can never go back “Kadey-Krogen Yachts and we do not believe we are. We are anticipating this latest 48' North Sea to be is a company that a new beginning that will be treasured. But is neither stagnant it is not all about the yacht itself. It is about nor stymied by the builders, the family of Kadey-Krogen owners, as well as the company itself, past designs...” Kadey-Krogen Yachts, Inc. To bring the values of the company to the owners, they have a team that embodies their commitment to excellence. Kadey-Krogen Yachts is a company that is neither stagnant nor stymied by past designs and building practices but builds upon what makes them special. They have a staff of dedicated professionals commissioning their yachts that have unerring patience and are passionate about maintaining the highest quality of standards. They are there to answer questions of maintenance, service and updating. The principals of the company and their support staff are integrally involved with boat owners and future owners. They ensure that KadeyKrogens are built to the highest standard of quality–a truly hands-on approach that is approachable on all levels. Needless to say we feel a personal commitment to upholding their values in our stewardship of the latest Second Star. We also mentioned the family of Kadey-Krogen owners. When Krogen Cruisers gather it is a community of people with great courage, humor and spirit. Kadey-Krogen owners are always ready and willing to share tales, parts and advice (if asked for!) along with a warm welcome wherever you may meet. Certainly not an armchair group! So, why a fourth Kadey-Krogen trawler yacht? “Second Star to the right and straight on till morning....” and we haven’t gotten there yet! 14 mariners the choice of seasoned mariners the krogen 48' North Sea the choice of professionals Unmatched Capability, Since its debut in 1995, the Krogen 48' North Sea has shown its bluewater cruising mettle on countless passages on oceans around the world. Command central aboard the 48' North Sea. Aft of the helm, an L-shaped settee easily converts to a watch berth and the weatherproof welded aluminum Dutch doors keep you safe and secure, yet allow for fresh breezes underway or on the hook. The power plant is a Tier II John Deere® #6068 TFM, providing 201 hp at 2,600 rpm. A Kadey-Krogen principle is to not hide access to systems behind panels, so service and maintenance is easier. Why is it that so many professional mariners, transoceanic voyagers, naval architects and experienced circumnavigators, along with those new to the cruising lifestyle who have really done their homework, choose the Krogen 48' North Sea trawler yacht as their pleasure cruising home on the water? Every Kadey-Krogen embodies the tenets of capability, liveability, family and value. The Krogen 48' North Sea, with its shining refinements especially in the galley and flybridge areas, stands out to a new generation of owners as a truly comfortable liveaboard while retaining incredible running characteristics, reliability, and exceptional 16 Unpretentious Comfort Today’s Krogen 48' North Sea brings real “at-home” liveability and comfort to an incomparably salty, proven hull design. Few who step aboard the North Sea fail to remark on the flow of the boat’s environs. From the covered aft deck to the saloon to the pilothouse or cabin quarters, moving through the spaces is easy, natural. Some owners prefer the comfort of a portside settee in the saloon. Of course, every Kadey-Krogen reflects the owners’ individual style and taste. We can recommend interior designers. seaworthiness and safety. Thanks to the true architectural integrity of this Kadey-Krogen design as well as the exclusive Pure Full Displacement™ hull with its end-to-end symmetry, “wineglass” transom, and ideal displacement to weight ratio, in today’s North Sea you experience the ultimate performance of any similar-sized full displacement yacht, especially in a following sea. And no matter what the compass heading or weather condition, the ride has convinced even the best professional mariners in the world of its superior capability. An “apples to apples” sea trial comparison with any other make of trawler yacht is absolutely convincing. 17 An Interior Designed for Enhanced Liveability and Enjoyment Kadey-Krogen trawler yachts are renowned for their liveability. Owner feedback is the inspiration for today’s 48' North Sea’s enlarged galley with its Viking four-burner range and oven, a convection microwave plus household-sized refrigerator, dishwasher and trash compactor. In the staterooms belowdecks, the areas are bright and airy with full season storage and liveaboard amenities. The galley is a real pleasure! As you can see, everything is right at your fingertips, and there’s great ventilation. What’s more, anyone in the galley can join in the conversation with those in the saloon and aft deck as these areas are contiguous and on one level. 18 Master stateroom looking forward. Windows and hatches welcome the breeze, and with three hanging lockers and more than a dozen drawers, you could not ask for more storage room. Far from being an “afterthought,” the stacked washer and dryer are hidden yet conveniently located. These appliances are real workhorses. The en suite master head is private and built for liveaboard comfort, serving you well with its easy to clean, all the comfort of home features. 19 Functional, Practical, Designed for Comfort and Utility The second stateroom is available as a den-like arrangement with lighted bookshelves (top photo) or appointed more traditionally with a Pullman berth for family cruises (photo above). In either case, the settee pulls out to a double. The Kadey-Krogen aft deck “back porch” is a favorite living space for many 48' North Sea owners. The guest head is roomy including good shower clearance. Ample storage space, too. 20 T H E K RO G E N 4 8' L AYO U T F LY BRIDGE AND P I LOTHOUSE WA L KAROUND OP TIONAL W I DEBODY OP T IONAL THREE S TATEROOM 21 enjoy the most capable, liveable trawler yachts in the world.

You know how sometimes when you make a decision it works out so much better than you ever thought? Well, this is the third time I have made a decision that has exceeded all expectations! “YachtWorld.com, the MLS of the boating industry, shows sales up 40% or more…” Vacuum bagging results in perfectly wetted out fiberglass mat and core with no voids. It’s easy to relate to the first time it happened for me: It was becoming a father. I’ll just repeat what my parents said to me at the time. “You think you’re prepared, but you’re not! You think you know, but you don’t.” I thought they were trying to scare me but what they meant is that I thought I had experienced joy and fulfillment, but I really hadn’t yet. Thanks, Taylor! The second time was when, at 35, I packed up my trawler and asked the world to please run itself without my assistance for a couple of years, and I pointed the bow south. Yes, I had been a boater all my life, had lived aboard for years already, had done Bermuda races, and cruises from Annapolis up to Nantucket. But when you embark on an experience so completely out of context from your life to that point, you can plan and predict but you can’t possibly imagine how it is going to be–really. My experience was so much better, richer, deeper, more exciting, thrilling and empowering than any previous gauge by which I had to measure. So much so that I came home, worked a few years, saved up some more, and did it again! 24 December 2009, Back Creek, Annapolis This latest instance is positive proof of the old adage, “It is better to be lucky than good!” I moved to Florida over the New Year holiday and had just gotten settled in and sat slack-jawed in front of The Weather Channel watching 60-plus inches (12-14 years worth) of snow dump on Annapolis in a week’s time. To be fair, Florida had a record-breaking winter, too, but c’mon, there was frost one morning! Since arriving in Florida, the next best thing to missing this past winter is the boat market bottoming out and sales taking off. Doubtful? Well, I have spoken to financial managers who track the boating and leisure segments of the stock market, and they are showing solid growth and a great forecast. YachtWorld.com, the MLS of the boating industry, shows sales up 40% or more, and inquiries up more than that. But the reason I know personally is that my phone is ringing! A lot. The general sentiment seems to be, “Yes, we see that boat prices are not dropping much more, and we don’t know anyone who doesn’t think that interest rates are not going up soon.” Now is our time. Yes, the KadeyKrogen brokerage market is quite active, but the fact that prices dropped is not the reason we are doing so well. The main reason is something we talk about all the time–quality. Recently we were at Trawler Fest in Ft. Lauderdale. We brought Sea Fox, a ten-year-old Krogen 58', the first one built in fact. I had a great time showing people the boat, and then watching their faces when I told them it was ten years old. One couple just called me a liar right to my face! When I told them that the boat had already crossed the Atlantic and cruised the Med, they just laughed at me! You have probably read our brochures, spent a little time on our website or talking to us at a show, and heard us talk about quality. How we ship the U.S. made Cook gel coats to the yard instead of buying the cheaper Chinese gel coats. How we vacuum-bag not just the hull mold, but all the molds! Decks, sub-decks, superstructures–all of them. You have heard every builder say, “Well, vacuum bagging the hull is a little more expensive, but it is worth it.” We agree. We just bag the decks and structure too! We also lay up Twaron (the same fiber used to make bulletproof vests) into the laminate because she will carry your family someday. Want to know if it’s worth it? Go look at a ten-year-old boat! I am serious. Even if you are looking at new construction, ask the builder to show you ten-year-old boats with some hours on them. How does the gel coat look? Is it cracked or “crazed” at flex points, joints or corners? Do all the cabinets and doors still fit just like they were new? Does the boat smell damp? Have the portholes or hatches started to leak? Krogen hulls, by the way, are laid up in a single mold, not two half-molds glued and bolted together. We take architectural integrity seriously. If you want to see what we mean, just go look at a ten-year-old boat. Want to really go down that path? Go look at a 30-yearold trawler! (That’s a trick question; we were one of a handful of companies making them back then!) The point is that even in times like these, quality doesn’t cost, it pays. And I do not believe that anyone–that is correct, anyone– builds a stronger, more rugged, longer-lasting boat than we do. That may be my opinion, but the best way to investigate for yourself is to go look at a bunch of old boats. It has been a tough couple of years for all of us. But if for some reason you think boat prices are going to drop much further, or that interest rates are going to stay where they are, or that by waiting another year you are going to get a better deal on a boat then I think you will find yourself missing that boat. So, are you going cruising or not?
