Pie in the Sky is a rare 1984 fixed keel version but identical to her tandem centerboard sister ships in every other way. The Krogen 38 is a medium heavy sailboat while still being a reasonably good performer. We won the Crew of Two Race around the Coronado Islands in her in 2019 while the 28 knot gusts were bringing our light sloop competitors to their knees. She is stable / stiff and forgiving, and rigged for single handing because the first mate likes to lounge. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat. An ideal couples boat with ridiculous amounts of interior storage and deep lazarette storage. Her cockpit is huge with seating for at least 8 and she is always the gathering spot. Her interior is dry and warm in winter, cool in summer with a warm Taiwanese teak interior. We purchased her in Nevada where she had stayed in freshwater for nearly all of her life, so only the last 8 years have been in saltwater along the Southern California coast. She has been lovingly and fastidiously maintained all these years and we are ready to pass her to someone who will take her on another adventure. She is currently berthed in Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard, CA.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
