40th Anniversary
June 29 - July 2, 2017
REGISTRATION
Look who’s 40. We are proud to share the news that Kadey-Krogen Yachts will soon turn 40, which makes us the oldest manufacturer in the full-displacement pleasure craft business. And those who have followed our progress, know that over the years we have designed and built well over 600 beautiful yachts from 36-58 feet, and now have designs up to 70 feet. To properly honor 40 years in business and to thank our loyal customer base (you!), we are planning our largest corporate rendezvous on record. Next summer (2017), we invite Kadey-Krogens of every size and vintage to chart a course to Newport, Rhode Island to celebrate our 40th Anniversary at a four-day, unforgettable celebration beginning Thursday, June 29, 2017. Scheduled for just before Independence Day, it will be the perfect time to cruise New England. Please read this short publication cover to cover, as we provide easy instructions and notes for registration. Join us!

ANNIVERSARY
Newport, Rhode Island There’s something extraordinary about New England’s historic seaside. Situated at the mouth of Newport Harbor, Fort Adams State Park offers an exceptional panoramic view of both Newport Harbor and the East Passage of Narragansett Bay. Also located near our newest Kadey-Krogen office and plenty of convenient accommodations for those coming by land, we believe it’s the perfect backdrop for this momentous occasion. Kadey-Krogen Yachts has reserved the park’s piers to accommodate the Krogen multitude, and on land, the venue overlooks the harbor.

Coming By Water:
BOAT REGISTRATION
At the registration link, select the “Dockage Ticket� for your size Krogen and download the Kadey-Krogen Yachts 40th Anniversary Rendezvous PDF registration form that is required by the Sail Newport Marina at Fort Adams State Park. Email the completed form to yourcrew@kadeykrogen.com. Dockage is $4/foot (in Krogen feet) per day which includes electric. Please note: pump out services will not be available at the marina nor will a pump out boat be available. Please plan accordingly. Only Kadey-Krogens that have completed the registration process and returned their Dockage Form will be able to dock at the park piers. Slips are limited and will be assigned in the order registrations are received. Reservations must be for the entire event (arriving 6/29, departing 7/2), as the boats will be arranged in such a way that late arrival or early departure will not be possible. Additional Information: Arrival prior to 6/29 is coordinated directly with the Sail Newport Marina staff, and the cost is negotiated outside of the Kadey-Krogen Yachts 40th Anniversary Rendezvous slip cost. If you choose to arrive early, you may still have to move slips on Thursday. All Kadey-Krogens must depart Fort Adams State Park no later than Monday morning (July 3, 2017). The local Fire Marshall has indicated that vessels are not permitted in the area, due to close proximity to the Newport fireworks barge. Occupying a mooring in the nearby harbor is to be booked by the attendee. Kadey-Krogen Yachts cannot reserve the field. Moorings in Newport are first-come, first served. Additionally, slip arrangements made at another marina or venue are also booked independently.
