We purchased Pine Knot from Kadey-Krogen Yachts, Inc. based in Stuart, FL. She was built by Asia Harbor Yacht Builders Co., LTD of Kaohsiung, Taiwan, a yard having built all the Kadey-Krogen yachts for the past fifteen years.

A click to the well-designed Kadey-Krogen website will take you to tons of information on all the yachts in the Kadey-Krogen line, virtual tours, company history, links to magazine articles with boat reviews, and links to archived copies of the Kadey-Krogen quarterly newsletter, Waypoints. Be sure to check out the article by Bill Palatore of PassageMaker magazine, "Legacy of Kadey-Krogen Yachts", an inspiring history of the company. This remarkable story will be found in the "Magazine Articles" section of the website.
My favorite sections of the Waypoints newsletter are articles recounting the travels of Kadey-Krogen Trawlers and their owners. I assure you that you will be amazed when you read of the wondrous voyages of the Kadey-Krogen fleet. From exotic ports of call to the coastlines and rivers of our own country, you will find the Kadey-Krogen burgee flying proudly at the bows of these sturdy little ships.
