Kindred Spirit, 2004 Kadey Krogen 39

KINDRED SPIRIT is a late-production example of the Kadey-Krogen 39 series. Built in 2004 (Hull #42), she represents one of the youngest and most refined hulls available in this legendary long-range cruising line. Featuring Kadey-Krogen’s iconic Pure Full Displacement (PFD) hull form, she delivers unmatched sea kindliness, exceptional fuel efficiency, and true directional stability in following seas.

Maintained to an exacting standard by knowledgeable owners, KINDRED SPIRIT is a turnkey, New England-ready coastal and blue-water passage maker. Mechanically superior, she is powered by a reliable, remarkably low-hour John Deere 4045 diesel engine (2,750 hours) and equipped with active TRAC Hydraulic Stabilizers, an ABT Bow Thruster, and a custom-installed Yacht Thruster Stern Thruster (2022).

Her interior showcases custom features of quality, comfort, and efficiency. Optimized for extended cruising and remote anchoring, this vessel stands alone in her class.

KINDRED SPIRIT is a rare find in today’s trawler market. She brilliantly solves the two biggest anxieties of trawler buyers: she has low hours on her primary commercial-grade John Deere diesel, and she is mechanically updated with stabilization and dual thrusters, making her incredibly simple to handle short-handed. Located in the heart of New England, she is fully commissioned, beautifully staged, and prepared to embark on her next great loop or coastal voyage immediately.
