Conversations with the owners of Krogen 42', Bay Pelican
Are We Having a Good Time? By Shannon Band
Marty Campanella has owned Krogen 42' hull number
78, Bay Pelican, since 1999; after years of sailing on Lake
Michigan he found he wanted a long distance cruiser. He
cruised from Mobile Bay to Chicago via the Atlantic ICW.
Bay Pelican also has experienced the Erie Canal, the Great
Lakes, Rideau Canal, Ottawa River, and the Trent-Severn
and Saint Lawrence waterways. “I really wanted to go to
the Bahamas and the Caribbean. I wanted something
I could spend the rest of my life on,” he says earnestly.
He speaks with the ease and relaxed nature of someone
who’s savoring every moment.
Deb and Marty married in 2006, island-hopped to Trinidad
over a 14-month period beginning in 2009, and for the last
three years have enjoyed the Eastern Caribbean. They spend
six months a year on the boat (“one of the better parts of our
lives”), and Bay Pelican is of the few trawlers in the Eastern
Caribbean. They have adopted many characteristics of sail-
boat life–living at anchor with a wind generator, water maker
and solar panels, and moving slowly.Continued on page 2
A few months ago the owners’ group Krogen Cruisers brought to our attention that there was a Krogen 42' exploring the Eastern Caribbean. Inquiries and emails resulted in my calling Marty and Deb Campanella in late November, just before they departed back to Grenada where Bay Pelican was waiting for them on the hard. They answered the phone with chipper voices, obviously excited to tell their story. I was enthralled.

Marty was drawn to the
Kadey-Krogens because
of their liveability and
volume. It was important
to have a washer/dryer, a
nice-sized fridge in the gal-
ley and large tanks for fuel
and water among other
amenities. He looked at
various trawlers but decid-
ed, when comparing oth-
ers to the Kadey-Krogens,
“There were too many
compromises that I didn’t want to live with.”
Once the decision was made that he was buying
a powerboat, he wanted to be properly educated
and trained. He took many classes with the United
States Power Squadrons and eventually ended up
getting his Captain License. Then, the cruising of
the Great Lakes commenced with the dream of
one day cruising afar.
Deb’s boating experience is a little different. (She
literally laughed out loud when I asked.) “I had the
pleasure of cruising the Great Lakes aboard Bay
Pelican in the summers before we got married. I
enjoyed it so much that I began to share in Marty’s
dreamdream of longlong term cruising.” TheyThey agreedagreed thatthat for
thatthat to happen, it was essential for Deb to be edu-
catedcated and trained as well. “I took intense Power
SquadronsSquadrons courses: safe boating, line handling,
reading charts, weather
classes, everything.” Then,
in April 2008, it was time
to disembark with the
ultimate destination of the
Eastern Caribbean.
Marty retired about 30
days before their depar-
ture date and Deb retired
about seven days prior. They
packed up the belongings
they wanted to take (includ-
ing Bugsy the cockatiel),
locked up their house, started the engine and said
“Bon Voyage” to the life they knew. They headed
north on Lake Michigan so early in the season that
they missed the ice on the Straits of Mackinaw by
only four days. They are the first to admit that the
trip was a bit harrowing at times. When they started
out few marinas were open during that time of year
on Lake Michigan, not to mention they had to bring
propane heaters onboard to ensure they would stay
warm in the 28-degree weather. They also had 70mph
winds as they anchored overnight in Lake Huron.
But, as the weather became more reasonable they
began to enjoy their trip.
“Our goal in leaving early was to be in Montreal for “Our goal in leaving early was to be in Montreal for
the International Fireworks Competition which was
just spectacular,” Marty said nostalgically. “It was also

the weekend of the annual Festival International de
Jazz de Montreal.” From there they went to Quebec
City for its 400th Anniversary. Then they travelled
down all 900 miles of the Saint Lawrence River, and
“saw more whales than anyone could ever possibly
want to see,” Marty joked.
Throughout this journey, three other Krogen 42's
joined as a flotilla and stuck together through Prince
Edward Island, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
They stayed with one Krogen 42' until Yarmouth,
Maine, before they were on their own again. Between
Nova Scotia and Yarmouth, the two boats had to nav-
igate through an immensely foggy Bay of Fundy. “It
was literally complete, thick fog. It was stressful that
we couldn’t see anything and on top of that we had
to dodge an unbelievable number of lobster pots,”
remembers Deb. But they would not be deterred.
From there it was down the coast of Maine on
to New Hampshire. They made it to Gloucester,
Massachusetts, just in time for the annual Schooner
Festival. Then south down the Long Island Sound
to New York City and then down the coast of New
Jersey. They cruised the Chesapeake Bay and were in Jersey. They cruised the Chesapeake Bay and were in
Annapolis for the United States Sailboat Show. Marty
and Deb continued south through the Intracoastal
and made it to Florida for the duration of the winter.
In January 2009 it was time to cross the Gulf
Stream to the Bahamas and then to the far flung
islands of the Eastern Caribbean. Deb says, “One of
the worst things boaters can ever do is put them-
selves on a timetable and that’s exactly what we did
since we had to be below the hurricane line by July
1st.” They finally arrived at Trinidad in June 2009
and essentially had made a journey of 6,000
nautical miles in 14 months.
“Being a novice boater, the trip was not
exactly what I had expected. It was even a little
scary at times. With that said, I’d still do it again
in a heartbeat,” Deb says honestly. She went on
to tell me that the first two women she met in
St. Lucia had been living this boating lifestyle
for about 30 years. They took her under their
wings and to lunch, and gave her the “girl time”
they knew Deb so desperately needed. This
was the first of what became weekly women’s
luncheons, held every Wednesday at the Bay
Gardens Resort on St. Lucia. Now the invitation
is extended to women boaters from all over the
world. “Some of them don’t even speak English!
It doesn’t matter though. It’s just nice to have It doesn’t matter though. It’s just nice to have
some female camaraderie. Over 250 women
have attended the luncheons over the years,”
she cheerfully disclosed.
It didn’t take Marty and Deb long to get

atypical owner, but that is a story for another
Waypoints.) In 2004 I had the opportunity to become
a partner in the company and one of the key rea-
sons I acted on the offer is that I knew that within
the next few years, the first of the Baby Boomers
would be of retirement age and that for the next 18
years there would be a steady stream of retiring
Boomers. Boomers with disposable incomes.
Boomers with desire to explore and travel. Boomers
yearning to finally relax after working hard for more
than thirty years.
Then the most recent recession came along and
put a damper on things for both you and me. The
timeframe for you to become part of the Kadey-
Krogen family became a moving target. The immi-
nent retirement became “I’m going to need to
work for a few more years” and
those who took our marketing
message to heart were few and
far between. But they were there,
and their numbers are steadily
growing. Regardless of what goes
on around the world or here at
home, more and more are realizing
that you only get so many spins
around the sun.
I have a limited number of spins
around the sun before my daughter
goes off to college and I have
pledged to myself to make the most
of them and not fall victim to anoth-
er of our own advertising lines. “The
things you regret are the things you
didn’t do.” I have a lot of doing to do.
What about you?
I’m becoming one of you–a Baby Boomer. Yes I know, you can’t just become a Baby Boomer, we were born that way, but until one day late last fall, Baby Boomers were someone else. They were people older than me. I was not one of them. Then it hit me. My only child would graduate high school in just eighteen months. I really am a Baby Boomer. Where did the time go?Ten years ago I began working for Kadey-Krogen Yachts
because of a love for the product–a love borne from the

You know those days when nothing goes your way? When Life is like, “I’m-gonna-make-sure-that-everything-goes-wrong-and-stresses-you-out-beyond-belief-you-should-have-just-stayed-in-bed.” And then something happens that totally puts things into perspective. I had one of
those kind of days recently when I had to take my dog in
for a somewhat unexpected surgery and had unexpected
car troubles, the combination of which resulted in having its
way with my bank account. To boot, I was in the middle of
moving and couldn’t find, well, anything. My deadline for
Waypoints was fast approaching and the WiFi I needed
was inaccessible.
So why am I telling you all this? While I was working on
the cover story for this issue something Marty Campanella
said to me during our interview resonated. He remarked
that he and his wife decide whether or not they are having
a good time based upon whether they are happy.
Shouldn’t that always be how it is when it comes down to
it? Sometimes we need to step away and take a look at the
big picture. For me the big picture means that I am thankful
that I have a dog, a car and have a job that allows me to
afford unanticipated expenses. Life gets reorganized and
Waypoints goes to print. Most importantly (and
often taken for granted), my loved ones and I are
healthy, happy. Now I can see how petty it all was,
but it didn’t feel that way when I was in the thick
of it.
In this issue of Waypoints, happiness abounds not
only with the Campanellas but the Samway family,
too. The Samways departed Miami almost a year
ago and have since completed the Great Loop. For
the next Waypoints, there will be a more in-depth article about
their trip, but in this issue we present Jennifer Samway’s
thoughts as the family enjoyed time in the Bahamas before
beginning the Loop. Also in this issue are the long awaited
and highly anticipated pictures of the first Krogen 52', the
winners of the 2011 Kadey-Krogen Photo Contest, and the
Rendezvous wrap-ups from both the east and west coast
owners’ groups.
As always, if you have any questions or suggestions please
email me at Shannon@kadeykrogen.com. And don’t forget to
follow my blog at http://www.kadeykrogen.com/blog/.
Here’s hoping you and yours have a happy and healthy
new year.

The owners of Krogen 5201 wish to be kept
anonymous, but still wanted to tell Ocean Liberty’s
story since she is the first hull of a brand new
model. Mr. and Mrs. 5201 were previous owners
of a Krogen 48' North Sea and are excited to stay
in the Kadey-Krogen family. “We loved our Krogen
48', but were interested in a little bit more room
and a new design,” Mrs. 5201 discloses.
Both Mr. and Mrs. 5201 are graduates of presti-
gious maritime colleges. Mr. 5201 went to King’s
Point and Mrs. 5201 attended California Maritime.
“Because of our
merchant marine
background, we like
boats with ‘ship
names’. As far as we
could tell, there is
only one other Ocean
Liberty documented
by the United States
Coast Guard, so it’s
not a common name,” Mr. 5201 points out.
“In our Krogen 48' we have cruised in
Washington, Canada and Oregon. Future plans
for our new boat include Alaska, the Sea of
Cortez and then off to the South Pacific to ports
unknown,” Mrs. 5201 reveals.
Mr. and Mrs. 5201 agree that working with
Kadey-Krogen has been “awesome and wonderful.
It’s our second Kadey-Krogen after all. The staff
was always available and wanting to make our
dreamboat into a reality. And now we finally have
her in Ocean Liberty.”
Welcome, New Owners! We are pleased to introduce these Kadey-Krogen couples who have grabbed ahold of their dreams to enjoy life now.
“ Alan established a goal over 25 years ago to buy a proper boat when we could afford it…”
Sharon and Alan Williams are proud owners
of Krogen 48’ AE, Sharon Ann. They are new to the
Kadey-Krogen family, but not new to boating. After
Alan drove the ski boat for the University of Florida
waterski team, he moved up to a 16' Hobie Cat,
then to a 25' Hunter monohull sailboat with Sharon.
However “Once babies entered the picture, we chose
to sell the boat and
charter when we
needed a boating
fix. This included
sailboats in the BVIs
and trawlers on the
Florida west coast,”
Alan notes. He also helped friends deliver their boats
to the Abacos on multiple occasions on vessels vary-
ing from a 33' center console “go-fast” to an old clas-
sic sportfish.
Sharon says, “Alan established a goal over 25 years
ago to buy a proper boat when we could afford it
and when we actually had time to use it. We started
saving money 20 years ago for the right boat at the
right time.” They started researching and eventually
settled on a full-displacement boat. They admit that
speed is nice but they weren’t willing to compromise
all the things it takes to get there and had no inter-
est in “gas-guzzlers”. “In my mind, getting there is half
the fun, especially if you are imminently comfortable
while getting there,” Alan asserts.
Sharon Ann gets her name from the Admiral, though
7
they have never used her middle name in their 35
years of marriage. For the first few years Alan and
Sharon plan to cruise the northern Bahamas and
the east and west coasts of Florida. Sharon adds,
“Once we gain more experience we anticipate head-
ing north in the summertime, possibly to Maine and
Nova Scotia.”
They have found their experiences to be “every-
thing we could have hoped for. I like dealing with
good people, and everyone we’ve met and worked
with has felt like family,” Alan remarks. He contin-
ues, “When I looked at the calendar a year ago,
when the ‘odometer’ turned over 60, I decided it
was now or…. when?”
Dyan and Mike Warren of Cobb’s Creek, Virginia,
are the excited new owners of Krogen 5202, Suite
Judy. What is the story behind the name? “As a child
of the ’60s I could have been at Woodstock had it
not been for a broken down car, so I’m one of the
few people that admit I was not there. But my favor-
ite song was Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s ‘Suite:
Judy Blue Eyes’,” Mike explains.
Before Suite Judy was even a twinkle in their eyes,
Mike and Dyan had sailboats for many years and
had small powerboats prior to that. They made the
switch to “the dark side” in 2004 by way of a Krogen
42' and have never looked back. Most of the cruis-
ing experience on their Krogen 42' has been up
and down the East Coast and into the Bahamas.
They have also char-
tered vessels and have
explored the Caribbean,
Belize, and the Pacific
Northwest. Mike has
even delivered Kadey-
Krogens for the past
several years. With all
of their experiences,
they are still appreciative of what they have close by.
“Most of our cruising has been on the Chesapeake
and we love to anchor in its many protected coves
and creeks, especially in the fall,” says Dyan.
Selecting the Krogen 52' was a pretty simple deci-
sion for them. Because of Mike’s experience deliver-
ing Kadey-Krogens, he was able to test almost all
“ … We thought we would go for a Krogen 48'AE, but always carried a torch for a Portuguese bridge.”
they have never used her middle name in their 35
years of marriage. For the first few years Alan and
Sharon plan to cruise the northern Bahamas and
the east and west coasts of Florida. Sharon adds,
“Once we gain more experience we anticipate head-
ing north in the summertime, possibly to Maine and
the models and knew that when the time was right he
wanted a larger vessel. Mike explains, “We were initially
interested in the Krogen 55', but business dynamics
changed. Then thought we would go for a Krogen 48'AE,
but always carried a torch for a Portuguese bridge. Then
we received the drawings for the Krogen 52'. We were
almost instantly blown away with this great design that
is close to the Krogen 58', yet a little more compact and
easier to put at our dock, and we had no apprehension
about buying one of the first hulls.”
Once Mike and Dyan fully retire, plans for Suite Judy
include summers in New England exploring the Erie
Canal and Lake Champlain. They then plan to head
down to the Bahamas in the winter. They can definitely
be sure of one thing. “Every time ‘Suite: Judy Blue Eyes’
come on the radio it goes to very high decibels. It has
just always been a favorite,” notes Mike. So, if you hap-
pen to run into a Krogen 52' and hear the sweet melo-
dies of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, be sure to say
hello to Mike and Dyan!

accustomed to the lifestyle. Every morning
they tune in to the Coconut Telegraph, which
is a radio broadcast of all things Eastern
Caribbean. It covers weather, daily events,
island tours, cookouts, where spare parts
can be located and anything else one would
like to know. After listening in to the morning
program they take care of chores or any main-
tenance issues there might be at the moment.
And from there they do whatever they feel
like doing.
“Usually we’ll head into the nearest island
and take a walk or hike and then find a nice
spot for lunch,” Marty notes. “After that we’ll
usually hang out at the beach by ourselves
or with friends until cocktail hour.” Their lives
seem to be lifted right out of a Jimmy Buffett
album: islands, boats, sun, and music. What
else does one need? Partners in crime. else does one need? Partners in crime.
“We’ve made great friends on the islands
and continue to make new ones. Occasionally
two to four couples will rent a taxi and go
inland for a tour or excursion. Typically
everyday we’ll all get together for happy hour
either onshore or on someone’s boat,” Marty
explains. They tend to island hop. St. Lucia,
Grenada, Antigua, Guadalupe, Dominica, and
Martinique–all within a nice cruise of each
other, even at full displacement trawler speed.
Fortunately, now there is little need for a time-
table. “We make our decisions on what we
want to do by asking one simple question:
‘Are we having a good time or not?’,”
Marty says satisfactorily.
Marty and Deb are not quite full time cruis-
ers yet. They kept their home outside Chicago
and still spend about six months of the year
there as they enjoy having a land base to visit
with friends and family. In a few years they will
make the journey from the Eastern Caribbean
back to Florida. From there they will snowbird
along the East Coast. At least that’s the plan along the East Coast. At least that’s the plan
for now. It will all be determined by whether or
not they are having a good time.
“ Their lives seem to be lifted right out of a Jimmy Buffett album: islands, boats, sun, and music.”

following day. We topped off each afternoon with a social
hour followed by a potluck dinner one night and catered
dinner the other on tented party barges.
On a foggy Saturday morning, as a special treat, Dennis
and Julie Fox delivered a presentation of their Great Loop
cruise. The east coast’s longer cruising season with its
protected waterways, combined with the variety of condi-
tions and amazing sites both old and new, left a number
of us pausing to consider how we might make this happen
for ourselves.
As our Krog-In came to a close, gale force winds predict-
ed for Sunday building to storm conditions for Monday
spurred many of us to begin to rethink our plans for
departure as we went to bed Saturday. Sunday morning
the winds continue to build, as those remaining on the
dock wished our fellow boaters a safe journey homeward
bound. When we gather next year no doubt there will be
stories to tell of the adventures heading home from this
year’s gathering.
A big thanks to Kadey-Krogen for their local participa-
tion, support and raffle gifts. And a huge thank you to
Greg and Marcia Sorknes, Larry and Kathy Claiborne,
and Douglas and Catherine Ellis for making this event
possible. And we all so appreciate Rita Yeasting’s annual
updates of photos of Krogen owners and their pets, and
Pat Wade’s owners’ listing updates that most of us faithful-
ly carry aboard and use all season long as we cross paths.
Historic Roche Harbor was the location of the Northwest’s annual Krog-In over the weekend of September 23, 2011. John McMillin,
affiliated with the Tacoma Lime Works, acquired the
property in 1886. The harbor with its abundant deep
water and the protection offered by Pearl and Henry
islands was ideal for large watercraft, and with its nearby
ledge of the purest limestone (considered inexhaustible at
the time) McMillin built a very successful lime kiln opera-
tion and full-fledged Company Town. In the mid-1950s the
limestone supply was finally exhausted and the property
was sold to Ruben Tarte, a boating enthusiast from
Seattle. Roche Harbor with its restored buildings and
constantly developing marina and resort facilities has
become one of the largest destination marinas in the
San Juan Archipelago.
Friday was the official kick-off day for our weekend. We
had a 36' Manatee, 39's, 42's, 44's, 48's and a 58'–quite a
variety totaling 20 boats from Canada and the U.S. A num-
ber of owners also attended without their boats.
Sunny clouds and warm weather made perfect condi-
tions for this year’s informal gathering of old friends and
newer owners on the docks throughout the first after-
noon. Owners opting to do so held boat open houses the

2011 Krogen Cruisers Chesapeake Rendezvous
By Sue and Will Parry, Krogen 48' North Sea, Second Star
2011 saw another gathering of the Cruisers at Calvert Marina in Solomons, MD. It was a banner year for the Rendezvous. There were
many new events and activities with new faces to join in.
We had 120 folks in attendance for the festivities but
most interesting was the number of “wannabes” that
came this year. One couple said, “Wannabe is not the
right term. We are Gonnabes.”
We held the Rendezvous a week earlier than in
years past and added a day to the event. We were
docking on Tuesday and Wednesday, when seminars
began. Bob Smith attended this year’s “Diesel Day”
along with the John Deere guys and Drum Point Marine.
As a new feature, Katie from Drum Point Marine visited
engine rooms with the “Admirals” of the boats–no
Captains allowed!
“Gilligan’s Island” was the Rendezvous theme and
really got some interesting results, especially as a great
adjunct to the Trawler Krawl that featured a contest for
the “Best Island” on board. It was a true delight to walk
the docks and enjoy the tropical scenery. Mark and
Emily Little did a terrific job organizing the contest.
Another change to the line-up was Saturday night’s
dinner. All the proteins were cooked by Krogen Cruiser
10
“Top Chefs.” We believe it was the best food the
Rendezvous has ever had! Hopefully this will be a
repeat performance in 2012.
With four days to partake in the fun of being with fel-
low Cruisers we had the Krawl hours extended this year.
We have heard that all who were there enjoyed the lei-
surely schedule. We also had fabulous seminars stem-
ming from last year’s Cruising with Confidence topic.
Learning from fellow cruisers who left their proverbial
“box” and went on multiple overnight voyages was
inspiring. Speakers included John Martino from the
Annapolis School of Seamanship, medics Karen and
Jeffrey Siegel discussing onboard medical emergencies,
and Larry Polster from Kadey-Krogen. Their collective
experience and knowledge really generated excitement!
At the end of the event, the sense of purpose that many
left with was simply amazing. Conversations overheard
on the last day indicate that there will be new cruising
grounds to venture forth to with new and old acquain-
tances. We feel blessed to have been a part of such a
great group and now we turn the helm over to Kathy
and Frank Eisenhart, Krogen 44', Icy Devil. Safe travels!

Kadey-Krogen
Pure Form, Pure Performance, Pure Capability, Safety and Comfort
THE KROGEN 52' BEGINS with Kadey-Krogen’s signature
Pure Full Displacement™ hull form, with her fine bow and
wineglass stern. This combination creates a comfortable ride
with less slamming in head seas and avoids the tiresome
slaloming experienced on other brands of trawlers in a
following sea, resulting in an efficient 25% less fuel consump-
tion than others in her size range. She’s available with single
or twin engines and is whisper quiet even at cruise speed,
with engine hum below 60db nearly everywhere throughout
the boat. Then there’s the raised pilothouse, roomy and
confidence-inspiring thanks to clear sightlines all about, large
easy-to-see navigation systems areas, grab rails all around,
plus controls at the fingertips for captain and first mate. Dual
helm chairs are a nice touch, and unusual for a boat this size.
Aft of the helm seating, the accent is on creature comfort
with a settee plus fold out table that make a terrific socializ-
ing and observation area for friends and family. Yet, even with
all that space, the Krogen 52' is very manageable by two
people without additional crew.
Kadey-Krogen’s signature tri-level layout is admired for
natural flow and the superior style and safety it provides for
couples, families and guests. Steps from the pilothouse down
to the galley and saloon (and likewise down to the staterooms
below) are standard-sized treads and risers with a sturdy
banister “just like home.” Little wonder that the Krogen 52' is
truly at home on any sea.
The Krogen 52' offers the superb range and superior bluewater capability of its big sister, the Krogen 58', as well as many of the same design elements with a raised pilothouse and spacious living areas.
The Krogen 52' “wineglass” transom is a key component to the Pure Full Displacement™ hull and its magnificent ride.
Pure Form, Pure Performance, Pure Capability, Safety and Comfort
Hard to believe this isn’t the pilothouse of a 60-footer with size, comfort, high function, visibility, easy navigation and system access. The welded aluminum Dutch doors are watertight, and keep the elements out in adverse conditions yet allow fresh breezes on tranquil passages.
The shape of the Krogen 52' Pure Full Displacement™ hull deflects more wave energy for truer tracking than do flatter hull designs. This is especially important in following seas.
Ergonomic safety features like full-size steps and sturdy hand rails are components of the pleasing flow of the tri-level arrangement.
Incomparable Comfort Zones for Real Home Living
ENTERING THE SALOON DECK from the pilothouse, the
first thing you notice is the fit-for-a-gourmet galley complete
with full-size Jenn-Air® refrigerator, granite countertops and a
four-burner Viking® range with oven. Groceries, supplies, and
fair weather breezes come direct to the galley through the
Krogen 52' weathertight Dutch door accessed from the
starboard walkway. In the galley, you’ll appreciate how nice
it is to participate in the saloon conversation and, with the
weathertight aluminum doors open, even with those out
on the much-loved Kadey-Krogen covered “back porch.”
This comfort zone of galley/saloon/back porch exemplifies
Kadey-Krogen ambiance–intelligent, friendly and
fun loving.
The Krogen 52' saloon features a very inviting L-shaped settee
and an adjustable hi-lo teak table with stationary base and
foldout top that transforms into a dining table with room for up
to six. Just use your imagination to envision custom décor and
details that reflect your own taste in this pleasant space. Interior
woodwork is available in either teak or cherry, with a handsome
satin finish. There’s ample room in the saloon for occasional
seating and a cocktail or end tables to match your style.
The liveability and high function continue below. The master
stateroom puts the emphasis on relaxation, and also on plenty
of creatively engineered storage areas to accommodate all you’ll
need on a long passage. The master also includes a roomy
en suite head area featuring a walk-in shower.
Just look at the galley’s open arrangement and access, the large cabinets, pantry and drawers, the generous counter space and the professional grade kitchen appliances. Your choice of countertop material personalizes the interior.
Given the comfort and style of the seating/dining area, the adjacency to the delightful aft deck “back porch” and the galley, the saloon is a natural social center of the boat.
The master with island queen berth and en suite head is comfortable and well engineered with storage everywhere for long passages. Note the hatches and portlights–great for ventilation.
Cabin Accommodations for Extended Bluewater Cruising
OWNERS HAVE THE CHOICE of a two- or three-cabin arrangement, with
the master stateroom forward or amidships. Those opting for a two-
cabin arrangement can enjoy the utility of a large dedicated office space.
Two heads are standard with any configuration, and both heads boast
an enclosed stall shower. Choose the configuration that best suits you,
and welcome your guests, kids, and grandkids aboard.
Available with a queen-sized berth or with this twin single berth arrangement, the starboard-side guest cabin is chock full of storage and is perfect for kids, grandkids or other guests.
In the two-cabin arrangement, the portside area is available as a nice office with plenty of room for books, computers, comfortable reading chairs and more.
How many vessels in this size range have two en suite heads, one for the master and one for the guest cabin, both with walk-in showers? (Guest head shown here.)

STANDARD POWER
IS A SINGLE JOHN
DEERE 6068AFM75,
a continuous duty
231hp engine. Option-
al power is provided
by two John Deere
4045TFM75 engines producing 121hp each. With 1,400 gallons
of fuel, range is approximately 3,300 nautical miles at 7 knots
with a top speed of 9.5 knots. Maintenance and simple repairs
are easy to learn and perform, even for the mechanically
challenged. There‘s plenty of room to maneuver around the
engine(s), and access to systems is open with no panels to
hide the places you might need to turn a wrench.
A word about Architectural IntegrityEvery Kadey-Krogen yacht model is built with true Architectural
Integrity. This design principle takes into account where the
tankage, stringer supports, battery banks and engines are
placed. Engine, shaft and propeller positions should be optimal
for efficiency. The same is true with steering. An all-too-common
practice among some builders today is to ignore this principle
by “stretching” a boat, building upon a shorter hull form rather
than a dedicated mold, and that will affect performance. Perfor-
mance involves a mathematical formula in which everything is a
variable and the goal is optimal efficiency and stability. Every
length Kadey-Krogen model is built from a dedicated mold and
tooled to achieve the best performance.

The Capability and Liveability to Make Every Cruising Dream Come True
“ It’s been an amazing time for all of us down here. Our daily routine has been pretty simple and easy to get used to!”
A Little Time at Anchor By Jen Samway, Krogen 48' North Sea, Muddy WatersPhotos by Keenan Samway, age 13
The Samway family of four has been on a great adventure this past year, departing Miami Beach and living aboard fulltime while traveling through the Florida Keys, Bahamas and America’s Great Loop. Here’s an excerpt from their blog, back in February 2011.
We’ve been having so much fun since we
arrived at the Georgetown area of the
Southern Exuma island chain. Special thank
you to the Foxes for leading us here! Our
Krogen 48' North Sea, Muddy Waters, has
been anchored in Elizabeth Harbor, just
below the monument tower (a beacon mark-
ing the high point on Stocking Island), which
lies east across the harbor from the main
settlement of Georgetown. We’ve recently
added a map/chart feature on our website
for all to check-out our current location.
But, like the old saying goes, all good
things must come to an end, so yes, we will
be pulling up anchor tomorrow and starting
our trek north, back through the Exuma
chain, to Eleuthera, then the Abacos and
finally back towards the good ol’ US of A
so we can begin the next leg of our journey
on America’s Great Loop (more about
that later). So, it’s not really the end to a
good thing, more like the start of another
good thing!
It’s been an amazing time for all of us
down here. Our daily routine has been pretty
simple and easy to get used to! Michael and
I wake up early (around 6:00 A.M.; the kids
roll-out around 7-ish) to check the systems,
put up the American flag (the Bahamas cour-
tesy flag always flies), then check the news
and emails on the web. We found that the
earlier the better for the web connection; by

7:30 A.M. it’s all choked up with the rest of
the boating community surfing the web,
checking weather sites, and downloading
emails–reducing the connection speed expo-
nentially! We’ll likely be without web access
for the next week or so as we travel to more
remote anchorages.
Anyway, back to our day. At 7 A.M. we turn
on our 16kW generator, start charging our
battery bank, and I get my morning cup of
tea! Eight o’clock brings the daily cruisers
net announcements on our VHF radio
(Channel 72). Darleen aboard the trawler
Rollsdoc (her husband Roger is a retired Rolls
Royce mechanical engineer, thus the name)
has been our morning announcer for most
the time we’ve been here (she also makes a
mean local conch chowder!); the lead posi-
tion changes according to who’s at anchor
each week it seems. Each lead announcer is
like a master-organizer, handling 50-plus
announcements on a two-way radio system.
We always read or listen to the latest Chris
Parker weather report (the undisputed, #1,
don’t leave home without it, cruiser weather fore-
casting guru in this part of the world) followed by
another 20 or so minutes of what’s up and hap-
pening around the local cruiser community. All
newly arrived and departing boaters are asked to
announce themselves and are welcomed each
morning. All boats (nearly 300 by last count) in the
multiple anchorages around these parts tune into
this local channel that is entirely volunteer based
and self-organized. When I’m out on the flybridge
doing my morning yoga, it’s been to the crackle
and hum of our and our neighbor’s cruiser net
morning show.
Nine A.M. the kids’ cruisers net hails by
announcing Kids4Sail, spontaneously organized by
our new friend Cathy on the sailing cat Curiosity.
We arrived to this area around the same time as a
big group of boaters with kids aboard. One of the
moms made a morning announcement on the
cruiser net about a kids’ “meet and greet” that
afternoon. Ideas for fun activities and boat names
were exchanged and the rest is history...she
launched the morning kids’ show, and everyone
has been connected and having a blast each day.
Activities have ranged from parent/kid volleyball
matches, tag football, capture the flag, board-
“We arrived to this area around the same time as a big group of boaters with kids aboard.”

Continued from page 19
Exuma Sound
games, jewelry making, a
knots/ropes course, kids
triathlon, bonfires, scaven-
ger hunt, kayak races,
Shakespeare reading,
geo-caching, beach-comb-
ing, a dinghy poker run and
just some general chill-out
time on the beach.
Mornings are reserved
for home schooling for
everyone with kids, so we
generally meet up between 2 and 3 o’clock on
Volleyball Beach for afternoon activities. Nothing
like a three-hour P.E. session to make the kids
hungry and ready for dinner! Keenan (13) and
Daria (11) have enjoyed these activities and the
relative independence they’ve gained, frequently
zipping off alone in the dinghy to participate,
eaving Michael and me to get around on our
two stand-up paddle boards or our inflatable
two-person kayak–P.E. for parents!
We’ve also traveled in our dinghy up to ten miles
to the south of our current anchorage. Moriah Cay
Harbour is positively spectacular, with water
colors that are hard to believe (take a look
at the photos in the February album found
on www.samwayadventure.com). We’ve
hiked nearly the entire surrounding area by
our anchorage, and each new view is more
beautiful than the previous one.
For the past 30-plus years the cruiser
community has organized a fun-filled regatta
week–races, music, kids’ activities, bake

sales, food, you name it–usually in early
March. This is all a prelude to a more seri-
ous sailing regatta organized here where top
sailors from across the Bahamas sail locally-
built sloops. Whether you are sailor, fan, or
photographer, this is the place to see beau-
tifully built boats and passionate and
skilled sailors.
It’s a close-knit community down here, a
gracious Bahamian community, and we see
the allure and why so many cruisers return
year after year. A little bit of adventure get-
ting here (only a certain type will sail to this
relatively remote place some 300 miles from
Miami as the crow flies, which isn’t how any-
one gets here of course) and once you’re
here everyone is welcomed and brought into
the fold pretty quickly.
New friends and opportunities abound.
Social gatherings crop up all over, and you
can’t help but feel comfortable and welcome
with the numerous games of volleyball,
football and horseshoes, potlucks dinners, bon-
fires, technical systems courses, weather seminars,
and musical jam sessions that pop up all over the
three different beaches in this harbor.
Alas, we’ll have to weigh anchor tomorrow and
move north before the cruiser regatta gets under-
way here. The truth is that every day here has been
like a regatta for us! So much fun, learning, and
adventure. We’re sorry to leave but excited about
what’s still to come. We arrived not knowing we’d
stay for so long, but strong winds (and resulting big
seas) in the Exuma Sound would have kept us here
for a while anyway. We now have an excellent
weather window to move north, so we’re
seizing the opportunity.
One of the most special parts of this place
is that we’ve made a number of new friends. We
know our wakes will cross again on the water and
that we’ll also visit with them on our travels (or
host them on their travels our way)!

Ta-da! It is our pleasure to announce the results of this past year’s Kadey-Krogen photo contest. These scenes
say it so well: a Kadey-Krogen confidently cruises big waters whether your adventure is a weekend on the Bay, a
jaunt along the coastline, a family vacation in the islands, or well-deserved post retirement extensive voyaging in
South America. Where in the world will your Krogen take you?
