The Pogo40S, build in sandwich PVC foams and vinylester resin, is optimized in the bottom of the keel to the masthead. This new version answer at the maximum righting moment and the minimum weight admitted by the rules of the Class>s40 .


Pogo40S is a real proto of serie.

Half of the Pogo which have run will stay some times in the French West Indies for nice cruises before sailing back by sea.


The Concept

When we began development of the new Pogo 40 with Jean-Marie Finot and Pascal Conq, we asked ourselves one simple question : Why were speed and cruising always on opposite ends of the spectrum. Why couldn´t a cruise be done at more than 6 knots...?

Our goal was to design a boat capable of achieving a compromise between fast racing and long distance cruising. We decided that a 40 foot (12.20 m) boat was the ideal length. A length that would be manouverable, even for amateurs.

And so the Pogo 40 was born...Designed to travel long distances at high speeds. A boat that is simple to sail even with a reduced number of crew. A serious boat which is easy to maintain. A trustworthy boat, sure and unsinkable.

With the new Pogo 40 you can line up at the start of any one of the international offshore races, such as the Route de Rhum or the English Transat or take you family on a long distance trip across the Atlantique during a sabbatical year.



The Boat

On deck a large, ergonomique cockpit awaits the crew. It has been prepared for cruising with back rests as an option. A storage cabin at midship allows for storage of the life raft and has attachments to ensure the safety of the crew when they are moving about. At the stern, a diving deck allows room for a small tender. Mobility is enhanced by the flat deck. The carbon mast of the Pogo 40 is performant and also reduces side to side movement.

The extremely functional interior of the Pogo 40 was designed for life at sea. Its modular design allows for it to be changed according to your needs. The interior was designed by Patrick Roséo with nothing spared in terms of confort and performance. Proof of this is seen in the central map table with its sliding seat, located just below the stairs.
