Former sailboat owners tell why they switched to powerboats and how much
they enjoy them.

Sailboats are inherently dangerous, more so than powerboats. At a point in
some people's lives the risk is much greater than the return or their
objectives are greater than what a sailboat can provide. At least these
people can still go out enjoy yachting aboard their Krogen 57s and other
brand new, high end yachts. It's a matter of convenience. A pilothouse
sailboat is a good stepping stone to a full blown motor yacht.
