1986 Kadey-Krogen 42
Get Financing >
LOCATION: Sidney BC
Few trawlers at this price point offer the proven offshore pedigree of a Kadey-Krogen 42. Priced to reflect a needed teak foredeck refit, this is a rare opportunity to step into an iconic long-range cruiser at a number that makes the work pencil out.
The full-displacement hull is what made the Krogen 42 a blue-water standard for nearly two decades of production. The rounded chine below the waterline combined with flatter topsides sections delivers exceptional roll resistance and initial stability without excessive ballast. At 17.6 tons displacement, she reaches hull speed on just 60 horsepower, with a range of approximately 2,150 nautical miles at 8 knots. Back her down to 6 knots and range extends to 5,000 miles.
The long protective keel keeps the running gear safe in the shallows and gives her the kind of directional stability that makes overnight passages manageable for a short-handed crew.
Recent upgrades include a newer inverter for improved onboard power management.
Key Specifications:
LOA: 42 ft
Displacement: 17.6 tons
Hull type: Full displacement, long-keel
Cruise speed: 7 to 8 knots
Range: 2,150 nm at cruise / 5,000 nm at 6 knots
Notable: Teak foredeck requires refit (reflected in asking price)
The foredeck teak is priced into the ask. Everything else is Krogen. Available for survey and sea trial. Contact Alexander to arrange a showing!
