Overview

Regulus’ owners have reluctantly decided to offer their well loved Krogen Express 52′ for sale.  Her distinctive San Mateo Wheat hullsides add a classic flair and contrast nicely with her Marine Blue canvas.   With barely 300 hours on her twin 440 h.p. Yanmar common rail diesels, she’s practically new and all services are up to date.  She has a wonderful Garmin electronics package, brand new canvas, a deluxe 11′ Walker Bay console dinghy, beautiful interior fabrics, upgraded window treatments, and more.  Cruise ready with ABT-Trac hydraulic fin stabilizers, Sidepower bow and stern thrusters, and two capable center line helm stations, she’s ready to take you to the destination of your dreams.   More extensive specifications and information on the Krogen Express 52′ can be found elsewhere on our website.

Hull Design
Designed by James Krogen, the Krogen Express 52′ combines classic, timeless style with exceptional seakeeping and efficiency. Her plumb stem, raised bow, and broad beam forward allow her to slice through the waves with ease while providing a great deal of living space in her accommodations. Her low profile allows her to get under bridges as low as 15′ and with a draft of just 4′, she’ll take you almost anywhere. Her semi-displacement hull delivers trawler-like efficiency at displacement speeds with true cruise capabilities in the mid-to-upper teens. And her generous keel provides stability and protection for her twin propellers.

Krogen Livability
Boarding a Krogen Express couldn’t be easier with a large transom door and wide boarding gates on either side of the spacious, covered cockpit.  Ample storage for lines, fenders, cleaning supplies, and more is provided by the cavernous lazarette below.  Entering the salon through double, watertight aluminum doors, her owners are treated to an inviting cherry wood interior.

Flybridge & Boat Deck
While her pilothouse is fully capable, most Krogen Express owners prefer operating their vessels up top where they can better experience her cruising capabilities.  Conversations are easy as little engine noise makes its way up here, leaving only the soothing sounds of sea breezes and ocean waves with which to compete.  A frameless venturi windscreen deflects air above the captain sitting in the comfortable, raised centerline Stidd helm chair.  Matching Garmin electronics provides full navigational support along with the large Ritchie compass while a Standard Horizon VHF radio provides communications. Controls for the Sidepower bow and stern thrusters, Lenco electric trim tabs, and LoFrans windlass are close at hand.  The Garmin 4′ HD open array radar scanner and Intellian satellite TV dome are mounted on an aluminum spar-style mast that can be lowered with an electric winch when needed.  Shaded by a new Marine Blue Sunbrella bimini top, the L-settee provides ample seating for crew and guests and contains storage beneath for the extensive canvas package as well as a properly vented propane locker.  Situated aft of the settee, the open boat deck easily accommodates two folding deck chairs and serves as access to the 11′ Walker Bay 4-seat luxury console tender. This is the ideal place to enjoy a cup of morning coffee or catch a beautiful evening sunset. The dinghy, with a raised console and seating for 4, is powered by a 30 hp 2-stroke fuel injected Evinrude eTec outboard and launched with the fully hydraulic Steelhead davit.

Fore & Side Decks
Access forward is simple with just two easy steps to the wide side decks on both sides and a single step just forward of the pilothouse Dutch doors.  A high rail inspires confidence and a feeling of safety and the crew will find line handling simplified compared to similar vessels with raised bulwarks and fashion plates covering side decks.  The two spring cleats, mounted conveniently on the toe rails, couldn’t be easier for securing lines, while the lack of a Portuguese bridge makes for quick passage forward.  Deck fills for fuel and water can be found on both sides mid ships while the waste pumpout is forward to starboard.  On the port side of the pilothouse forward are secondary 50A shorepower and cable TV connection points.  The Spade Rocna Vulcan plow style anchor can be retrieved easily by her LoFrans Project 1500 windlass with foot pedals located to port and can be cleaned by either the raw water or fresh water washdowns.  The compartmented anchor locker is accessed by a ship quality Freeman deck hatch and houses the ground tackle, comprised of 50′ of 3/8″ high test galvanized chain and 200′ of 3/4″ line.  A ladder ensures easy access below and there is ample additional space for fenders, lines, and washdown hose.
