February 2017Dear Krogen Enthusiast, I hope many of you reading NAVAID right now are en-route to Miami to see us at the Yachts Miami Beach boat show this week on Collins Avenue! Please do not be confused about the two shows happening at the same time in Miami. Yachts Miami Beach is not the Miami International Boat Show, which has indoor displays and lots of small boats. Collins Avenue is the place to be this year to see us and other cruising boats.
Fair Winds,
Larry Polster Topside NewsMeet Warren Sweet Winter 2017 Boat ShowsStarting Tomorrow: Yachts Miami Beach will transform Collins Avenue into a dynamic presentation of yachts from the world’s foremost custom boat builders, including Kadey-Krogen Yachts.

March 2 – 4, 2017: TrawlerFest-Stuart is a great opportunity to board lots of Krogens, new and brokerage, in one place. There is not a better way to see what sets both new and pre-owned Kadey-Krogens apart from other vessels. See you on the dock!

Janet, his wife, wanted the exact same thing…only for people to leave with a positive one! Enjoy his update this month, as they go from design ideas to design decisions, in Headline News. .
SheworthyConsider yourself the newest of new to trawlers? Boating? Living aboard? Deb Friedman once claimed that title, but today, with the help of a few Krogen mentors, an encouraging spouse and great training, she’s a confident cruiser. Here’s her story. Almost seven years ago, my husband Larry and I decided to move on from lake boating and experience the ‘slower’ boating lifestyle aboard a trawler. Many boat shows, TrawlerFests, and vessel showings later, we decided on a Kadey-Krogen. At first, we looked at 44’s and 48’s but after we acquired a 35-foot RV and traveled to Florida and back a few times, we decided to explore a 39. Finally, in the fall of 2012, we took ownership of KK3903, originally commissioned as Finally and which we christened Debadoo, a nickname my late father had for me. We spent our first New Year’s Eve with our boat at the Krogen Cruisers New Year’s Eve raft-up in Stuart. We met so many great folks who welcomed us with open arms, and a few gals who would become my mentors—little did they know! That New Year’s morning we attempted to raise our dingy for the first time. Not only had it taken on water in the double hull, but it was extremely cumbersome and difficult to raise. Lo and behold, our new friends jumped in and helped us resolve our predicament and we were extremely grateful! Did I mention it was also pouring rain at the time?
Our boat and its lifestyle have opened a whole new world for us. Don’t be afraid to get your feet wet and jump right into the Krogen world! Respectfully Submitted,
Deb Friedman |
