Pogo Performance Cruisers for Sale

Pogo

The shipyard Pogo Structures, whose boats are better known by the short brand name Pogo, is already something of a legend among offshore skippers. For years, Pogos have shaped the French offshore racing scene and are highly sought after as performance cruisers.

The Pogo Structures yard, whose boats are better known by the brand's short name Pogo, is already something of a legend among offshore skippers. Born out of founder Christian Bouroullec's passion for offshore racing, every Pogo – whether race machine or performance cruiser – shares the same DNA: fast above all on reaching courses, safe in any weather, comfortable within the scope set for each of them.

The key milestones in the company's history speak for themselves:

• Founded in 1987
• 1995 first production boat: the Pogo Mini-Transat, a Mini 6.50 built for the Mini-Transat race (singlehanded across the Atlantic in two legs), to the production-boat rules of the Mini class
• 1999 the Pogo 8.50 – a performance cruiser "on which the whole family will have fun in the Atlantic swell" (advertising)
• In the same year Christian Bouroullec wins the already famous Mini Atlantic race on the Pogo Mini-Transat. The start of a fascinating run of success in the Mini class
• In 2000 the Pogo 8.50 is voted "Boat of the Year" in France
• 2003 sees the launch of the Pogo2. In the same year Erwan Tymen, head of engineering and design at Structures, wins the Mini-Transat on a Pogo 2. Christian Bouroullec finishes fifth on a Pogo 8.50 in the Trans-Quadra (a singlehanded and shorthanded transatlantic race scored under IRC rules).
• In 2004 "structures" introduces a new vacuum-infusion construction technique for all Pogo models.
• 2006: With the Pogo 40, Structures revolutionizes the Class 40 offshore racing class.

• In 2012 the yard is honored once again: this time for the Pogo 12.50, which was crowned "European Boat of the Year".
• 2012: The first Pogo 50 comes onto the market. An elegant and easy-to-handle performance cruiser designed so that small crews and families can sail fast and far.
• 2013: The Pogo 30 conquers the 30-foot market
• In 2016 the Pogo 3 – the third production Mini from Structures Pogo – wins every race in the Mini class.
