‘Advanced Ergonomics’ is the underlying theme in this new offering. The Krogen 48′ AE is being built at Asia Harbor Yacht Builders Co., LTD, in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
The latest 48ft Kadey-Krogen yacht design is introduced to raise the bar and set a new standard for capability and liveability in the trawler market. The fully covered aft deck leads to the salon where either an L- or U-shaped settee is starboard, with an expandable table that raises or lowers for dining or cocktails.
The expanded galley with a four-burner Viking range and other household-size appliances is complemented by a nearly floor-to-ceiling pantry opposite, on the portside. Moving up to the pilothouse there are real steps, deep and wide, with a rock-solid banister for safety. The ergonomic application continues through the pilothouse and out the portside welded aluminum weather tight doors leading to the boat deck and up to the flybridge via molded steps with accompanying handrail.
Owners have a choice of two- or three-cabin arrangements with the master forward to maximise light and ventilation. The starboard cabin in either arrangement has a built-in desk and can double as an office. Two heads are standard, each with a separate shower stall.
Bright, efficient LED lighting is used inside and out, including the running lights. The engine/machinery room is ventilated by two axial fans with moisture eliminators.
The Krogen 48′ AE will debut at Trawler Fest in Fort Lauderdale from 27-29 January 2011 and can also be seen at the Miami International Boat Show at Sea Isle Marina from 17-21 February 2011.
