This huge-spec Pogo 30 has a carbon rig, North 3Di sails, an NKE nav kit, a larger engine, and all the cruising comforts available. It is very lightly used, with low hours run, and simply perfect for performance offshore cruising or racing.
FURTHER BROKER’S COMMENTS:
The Pogo 30 was conceived as a cruising-orientated design with a bit of the Pogo magic to produce an easily handled offshore performance cruiser easily capable of planning under white sails alone. Commissioned by her current owner the Pogo 30 APOGEE was launched for the 2016 season and has been very lightly used, and only for cruising. Boasting a comprehensive list of optional extras her extensive inventory features highlights such as:
• Vinylester-infused hull laminate with Coppercoat antifouling

• Optional carbon fibre extending bowsprit

OWNER’S COMMENTS:
‘We have found the Pogo 30 is a human sized, very manageable super fun boat to own and sail. With the light weight and planning ability comes very low sheet loads which makes everything easier to handle and less stressful. The huge form stability means she doesn’t need to be heeled over 15 degrees for best speed and the huge cockpit is fantastic at anchor with tillers raised. She's also good for comfort as she doesn’t pitch or roll but follows the waves very closely and when planing all goes quiet, extremely stable, easy and fun.’
PRESS REVIEW:
‘It’s different. It’s cool. It’s stiff. It’s light. It even whistles. And yes, it is more of an ‘it’ than a she. The Pogo 30 is muscular yet lightfooted and behaves similarly to a fast dinghy or multihull: direct, fast and fun with a potential to pulsate in any given puff.
Monohulls that plane tend to be lightweight dinghies or raceboats. So, when you get up to speed you get a big hit of adrenaline as the boat is pushed to the limits of control.
Cruising on the Pogo was different. Planing only heightened the feeling of relaxed sailing, while also reducing the loads and passage times. Travelling above the water (rather than pushing through it) is addictive.’
