Question 9

What is the annual Chesapeake Rendezvous?

Accepted Answer

Usually held in Solomons Maryland in early October, the Chesapeake Rendezvous is our largest annual gathering. Members come by boat, car, and airplane. Speakers, classes, catered and potluck meals, music and dancing are just some of the great events. A highlight is the famous Krogen Krawl where members open their boats to show off their latest project or their boat in general. It's the best place to see for yourself the wide range of the Kadey Krogen trawler universe in one place. As many as 60 boats and 135 members have attended in past years. You must be a member to attend. Other less formal gatherings take place regularly during the year - wherever two or more Krogen Cruisers get together! In the past few years there have been gatherings in Block Island, Maine, Annapolis, the Bahamas and more. We even have Super Bowl parties! The cost of the annual rendezvous and all other gatherings are paid for by those in attendance and are not included in your annual dues.

Question 10

What is the Forum?

Accepted Answer

This is a great way to keep up with other members, ask questions about boat operations and maintenance, see who's cruising in your area -- you name it and you can ask the forum.  Membership is required to access the forum, now located within the website. There is no longer a separate login to view.   We do not use Twitter or Facebook for the group.

Question 11

Is Krogen Cruisers affiliated with Kadey Krogen Yachts?

Accepted Answer

No, we are an independent group organized and run by members. But we maintain a very close relationship with Kadey Krogen Yachts and they provide generous corporate sponsorship to the annual Chesapeake Rendezvous. They keep us informed of their plans and direction, and we provide regular feedback about boat design issues. They listen closely to owners, and all models reflect significant owner-input received over the years. www.KadeyKrogen.com is a great place to find out more information on new and previously-loved Kadey Krogen trawlers.
