Come now gents: single engine, no bow thruster. It keeps the heart healthy!

Scott, I agree! That's sounds like my 1981 Krogen.

Of course, back then my heart was only thirty years old!

I now have twins and a bow thruster...a heart-friendly boat.

The side of the issue that hasn't been addressed is the 1st mate. If she
has hip or knee problems you have to get the swim platform close enough to
the pier so that she can feel comfortable making that step off the boat to
attend to the mooring lines.

Scott, I agree! That's sounds like my 198? Krogen.

Yup. So I go down to my boat at a far too posh marina in Portland, and
notice a party of folks on board an '81 Krogan beside my vessel. They are
still, as I approach my boat, involved in a learning exercise about how to
dock and maneuver. Everybody is on the dock side (the other side to the side
aside my boat) and are deep into the fine points of maneuver. Twice, without
notice I intervene to fend off, with nobody on the Krogen at all interested
in anything but what lies twixt their boat and their dock.
Later, I see that a small ding in the aft corner stanchion is evidence of
contact prior to my arrival. My whole rail system is out of whack. Later
still, I notice the contact evidence on the corner of the transom. Small
enough stuff, but still it is the attitude that nothing else matters but the
boat and the dock.
Sorry, just a long festering pussy memory about folks in 'real trawlers'
that just don't get it.
