THE YACHT - POGO 36

Delivered in 2017, this yacht is the successor of the highly popular Pogo 10.50. Her robust structure, wide beam that provides unparalleled form stability, double tillers, deep keel and carbon mast are evidence of her strong oceanic racing roots. The new features, inspired from the yards’ latest racing boats, are the more pronounced chines which together with the voluminous bow sections offer great form stability allowing her to glide over the waves at high speeds.  The designer office of Finot-Conq, opted for a set of windows facing towards the front, offering tight sheeting angles and a very aggressive look! The upwind sail area is 74m2 and downwind fun begins with a 120m2 Asymmetric A2 spinnaker!
