A Brief History of the Kadey-Krogen 36 Manatee:

Here's a brief history of the Kadey-Krogen 36 Manatee:

• Introduction: The Kadey-Krogen 36 Manatee was introduced in the early 1980s as a smaller sibling to the highly successful Kadey-Krogen 42 trawler. The company aimed to create a more compact yacht that retained the seaworthiness and comfort of its larger counterpart.
• Design: The Manatee's design was focused on providing comfortable long-range cruising capabilities, with an emphasis on fuel efficiency and a sturdy hull. The yacht featured a full-displacement hull shape, a raised pilothouse, and a spacious interior layout that maximized livable space.  
• Construction: Kadey-Krogen Yachts constructed the Manatee using high-quality materials and craftsmanship. The hull was typically built using solid fiberglass, ensuring durability and strength. The yacht's construction quality and attention to detail contributed to its reputation as a reliable and well-built vessel.
• Dimensions and Specifications: The Kadey-Krogen 36 Manatee measures approximately 36 feet in length overall (LOA) and has a beam of around 13 feet. It has a displacement of around 26,000 pounds, allowing for a comfortable ride even in challenging sea conditions. The Manatee is equipped with a single diesel engine, typically ranging from 80 to 120 horsepower, which provides efficient cruising speeds.
• Interior Layout: Despite its size, the Kadey-Krogen 36 Manatee offered a spacious and well-designed interior. The main deck typically featured a salon, a galley, and a pilothouse. Below deck, there was a forward stateroom, a head (bathroom), and additional sleeping accommodations in the salon. The yacht's interior was known for its high-quality teak woodwork and cozy atmosphere.
• Popularity and Legacy: The Kadey-Krogen 36 Manatee gained popularity among boating enthusiasts who sought a smaller trawler-style yacht without sacrificing comfort or seaworthiness. Its reputation for solid construction and excellent cruising capabilities made it a sought-after vessel for long-distance cruisers and liveaboard boaters.
• Production and Availability: Kadey-Krogen Yachts built the Manatee for over a decade, from the early 1980s until the mid-1990s. During that time, they produced a limited number of these yachts. As the years went by, used Kadey-Krogen 36 Manatees became available on the market, allowing boaters to acquire these well-regarded vessels.

Construction

The Manatee hull and cabin are of fiberglass sandwich construction with closed-cell PVC foam core; heavy hand lay-up using mat and roving. The state of the art construction is one of the most enduring and safest afloat. Closed-cell PVC foam does not deteriorate or absorb water. The composite structure serves both as a buoyancy material and shock, sound and temperature insulator. It rides quietly, increases impact strength and eliminates condensation build-up inside the hull. All joiner work, paneling and beam caps are of prime teak. Cabinetry is also teak
