2014 Kadey Krogen 58

Bulldog Sally is hull number 20, the last Kadey Krogen 58 built to James Krogen's initial design vision. She features the original pleasing profile and is powered by twin John Deere six-cylinder engines. Her hull form benefits from a sharp bow entry that cuts effortlessly through the water and follows with her signature wine-glass transom; the owner remarks she performs well in a 6'-8' following sea. From the aft cockpit through large double doors, the single-level saloon and galley create a welcoming entry. The forward section of the saloon gives you a choice of six steps up to the pilothouse or four steps down to the accommodations deck. Below, an owner cabin with its own head, a guest cabin, guest head and an additional office/guest cabin afford a comfortable layout for a cruising couple and their guests. The interior features a uniform cherry wood finish with cherry and spruce soles and white overhead panels. Built with long-range continuous-duty travels in mind, her raised pilothouse and twin John Deere engines enable owner-operators to run through the night for several days. Shore power is optimized with an ASEA system for international 50/60 power adaptability.

Bulldog Sally is set up for one couple to operate and maintain her with the ability to invite another couple to come along; the current owner has done extensive single-handed cruising as well. Cloud White (Awlgrip) cap rails wrap around the cockpit and starboard side deck. The widebody layout allows for an efficient walkway connection from the cockpit, past the saloon via the starboard side decks, and up the steps to the Portuguese bridge, which features a control station for easy docking. The large foredeck has built-in forward-facing seating and a ground tackle station with the Maxwell hydraulic windlass. The boat deck is an excellent space for entertaining and sunbathing, with a built-in summer kitchen complete with a Sea Star SSBBQ24 grill, sink, freezer and storage. The flybridge has two helm chairs with an L-shaped wraparound dinette to port, and Bulldog Sally is one of very few Kadey Krogen 58s with a factory-built hardtop on the flybridge. She is configured in the three-stateroom layout, with one guest stateroom also serving as an office. There are two large machinery areas beneath the sole of the lower level, and the engine room is easy to enter with a path between the two engines and two generators.

Entering the saloon through double Diamond SeaGlaze doors with glass viewing windows, you arrive into a bright and welcoming area with seating, dining and entertainment features. There are two Ekornes chairs with ottomans to port with a coffee table between them, and an L-shaped settee to starboard wrapped in tan leather. The saloon dinette table is hand-crafted teak and can be adjusted to serve from two to eight guests. Hidden away is a flat screen television with a lift to port. The flooring is teak and spruce protected by a tasteful gray carpet, and the windows feature custom Italian-made shades.

Four steps down from the entry level and to port, you arrive in a very wide space set up to be a workplace on the go — it also serves as an additional stateroom if required.

Connecting the living area is a straight hallway that runs from the engine room door up to the owner stateroom — generously wide and easy to traverse.

The mid machinery space includes air conditioning, fresh water, water tank, batteries, inverters and stabilizers. The separate clothes washer and clothes dryer are built in on the port side.

The engine room has been laid out and designed with the owner/operator in mind. A workbench to starboard on entry lends just enough space for most DIY projects, and the engine room's depth and width afford the ability to see, inspect and service the machinery. The twin John Deere 6068TFM75 158 HP engines are nested on both sides of center, with four aluminum fuel tanks, two Northern Lights generators, and the fuel manifolds forward for ease of access.
