Mr Krogen's designs were easier to build in glass or cement, at least for
the yachts. He called it form stabilized and he didn't allow for ease of
construction.
Form stabilized? That wouldn't be a marketing phrase, would it, like
a salesman might use?
(Sorry, Bob, I could not resist asking. :-))) )
But you are right, there is a great deal to be admired in the work of
the late James Krogen, a true master of yacht design.
His son, Kurt, is the one who actually runs Kadey-Krogen today. His
son Jimmy is a naval architect with his own practice, just around the
corner in Stuart, Florida. Jimmy is the keeper of the Kadey-Krogen
archives.
