The Kadey-Krogen Northwest Owners Group is a bunch of Krogen folks who like good boats, good cruising, and good company. It’s a friendly place for owners, soon-to-be owners, and the Krogen-curious to swap stories, ask questions, and get the kind of real-world advice you only hear from people who’ve actually been there—usually with a cup of coffee in hand and a weather eye on the horizon.

One of the best perks is the shared brain trust. These boats are built to go places, and they come with systems that sometimes need a little love (and occasionally a little detective work). In the group, you’ll find practical tips on maintenance, upgrades, troubleshooting, parts sources, and “here’s what finally worked” solutions—so you can spend less time chasing problems and more time enjoying the water.

Because we’re Northwest-minded, the group is also a great local cruising resource. Members trade notes on anchorages, marinas, fuel stops, weather windows, and yard recommendations—plus the small-but-important details that make trips smoother (like “don’t try that approach on a big ebb” or “this spot is magic in settled weather”).

And honestly? The secret sauce is the camaraderie. Whether you’re living aboard, planning your first longer cruise, or just daydreaming over charts, it’s nice to connect with people who get why these boats are special. You’ll find sea stories, photos, ideas, meetups, encouragement, and plenty of “yep, been there” moments.

Bottom line: it’s a fun, helpful community that makes Krogen ownership easier, cruising better, and the whole adventure a lot more social—in the best way.
