Naval Architect, James S. Krogen (1928 – 1994) followed a design trail that was off-the-beaten-path when compared to the general evolution of contemporary yachts. For example, in the mid-1960s, Jim Krogen designed a Navy whaleboat-to-motorsailer conversion for folk singer-songwriter-actor, Burl Ives. The relatively small yacht was the epitome of utilitarianism and set a philosophical undertone for what was to follow. Overall, Krogen yachts exhibit an unabashed commitment to the principle that form should follow function. They are known as no-nonsense, able cruising yachts of a type that is today in serious danger of extinction. Following the formation of a partnership between naval architect, Jim Krogen, and Florida yacht broker, Art Kadey, in 1976, Krogen yachts became known as Kadey-Krogen. By 2014, the 600th Kadey-Krogen had been built and delivered. (Seattle Yachts provides access to thousands of boats and yachts available on the market today.

View All Kadey-Krogen For Sale Continue Reading about Used Kadey Krogen Yachts For SaleOne of the earliest yachts produced under the Kadey-Krogen partnership was a 42-foot, full displacement cruiser that was powered by a single 135-hp Lehman diesel which drove her at an economical cruising speed of 8 knots. With 700 gallons of fuel aboard, her range was in excess of 2,000 nautical miles. And if her speed was dropped to 6 knots, her range was extended to almost 5,000 nm. Because the Krogen 42 was intended for offshore passagemaking, she could be fitted with an emergency drive powered by a 12 kW genset. The Kadey-Krogen signature profile has a swept, unbroken sheer that rises from moderate freeboard aft to a very high bow in the tradition of commercial offshore trawlers. The yachts are also characterized by relatively large, well-windowed wheelhouses and Portuguese-Bridge styled coamings. The Kadey-Krogen trawler-yacht hull form is a genuine round bottom (or soft chine) full-displacement form that is both soft-riding and limited to displacement hull speeds, which are nominally (Vkn = 1.34 x √LWLfeet). Belowdecks, the layouts of Krogen yachts are generally practical and usable, without any attempts to squeeze a quart of contents into a pint jar. Of course, some of what characterizes Krogen trawler-yachts derives from the fact that Jim Krogen was a sailor who displayed a life-long fondness for sailing yachts. It’s no accident that between 1984 and 1991, the firm of Kadey-Krogen built eighty-five 38-foot Krogen Cutters. Our brokerage team at Seattle Yachts includes specialists who are familiar with long-distance cruisers that have full displacement hulls and single-engine power. Just as importantly, we understand the rationale behind and the plusses of such designs and how they fit into the tradition and evolution of cruising yachts.
