Available now only in the used boat market, the Krogen 54 is a serious blue water cruiser with a full displacement and ballasted hull with a distinctive pilothouse profile. Eight of these boats were built in Taiwan on a round-bilged, deep draft ballasted hull with a wide beam, a massive skeg and a rounded stern. Like many pilothouse designs, the Krogen 54's interior has the owner's stateroom located beneath the pilothouse. Two additional staterooms are forward, both of which share a common head. Note that all staterooms are accessed via a corridor from the salon rather than directly from the wheelhouse. The salon is very spacious owing to the fact that the boat has only one sidedeck, on the starboard side. The entire interior is finished in teak, and there is excellent headroom throughout. The wheelhouse, with its canted windows, is completely private and includes a watch berth and deck access doors. A second helm is tucked inside the false stack. The masts are used for steadying sails to dampen the rolling motion common to all full displacement hulls. At an 8 knot cruising speed, a single Lehman diesel provides a range in excess of 2,000 miles.
