POGO STRUCTURES

Andreas Lindlahr

Like its smaller siblings in the Pogo range, the Pogo 50 is tailored for fast cruising : it is light, wide, and features a deep (lifting !) draft and generous sail area. Its speed and its seaworthiness put far, far away shores within reach ! Its shallow draft, once the keel is up, allows access to all little paradisiac coves. Its lean deck plan and large cockpit make it the ideal boat at the mooring.

Its interiors, like the other yachts from the Structures shipyard, remain simple and light. They are functionnal and usable at sea. With a vast saloon, large galley, three cabin and two toilets, they are adapted to the standing expected from a yacht of that size, plus the exhilaration of speed. Lighting and ventilation are paramount, with many hatches and a forward facing window in the coachroof.

Thanks to the lifting keel...

Light, comfortable interior Even though it goes fast, the Pogo 50 doesn’t sacrifice comfort for speed. With it’s vast saloon, huge galley, 3 cabins and 2 shower / headcompartments, it offers everything you’d expect from a modern 50 footer, the thrill of gliding over the seas…. And how! The numerous openings give the boat more than it’s fair share of light and airiness. Forward-facing windows in the saloon make for good all-round visibility. The Pogo 50, a boat for life, at sea or a

Hull of the POGO 50 during infusion The Pogo 50 is built using the reliable and efficient resin infusion technology that Structures has mastered over many years. The hull, deck, interior structural components, as well as the numerous other items are vacuum bagged foam sandwich. The interior furniture is produced in our woodwork shop in lightweight materials that are both durable and goodlooking. Finally numerous spaces around the boat particularly under bunks and in the longitudinal strengtheners are filled with foam to aid insubmersibility.

Structures boatyard Based at Combrit Sainte-Marine (Finistère), near Quimper and the river Odet, the Structures boat yard has 25 years experience and expertise in the conception and construction of fast, comfortable boats. In modern buildings which cover an area of almost 5000 sq. meters, 50 technicians build sailing boats based on the latest technology, whether it be the hull, furniture, deck gear, electronics or the rig.

Pogo12.50. The reference setter

Awarded European Yacht of the Year 2012, the Pogo12.50 became quickly the reference fast cruiser. As of 2020, our fleet consists of three Pogo12.50s, ideal for some “unoficial” match racing! Designed by Finot-Conq and built by Pogo Structures in France, she does not hide her oceanic racing roots: robust structure, wide beam, form stability, double tillers, deep keel, carbon mast, square top main…after all she shares the exact same hull as the Class 40 racer Pogo40S 2 . With voluminous shape, she offers plenty of cockpit and interior comfort, that can only be found in cruisers at least 10ft longer.

SPECIFICATIONS

• Sail area /Displacement 2/3 =  34.34 for upwind (D=5.5t, Upwind SA = 107m² )
• Sail area /Displacement 2/3 = 69.96 for downwind. (D=5.5t,  Downwind SA=218 m²)

Optimized hull:

• Flat hull shape optimized for planing both upwind and downwind
• Pronounced rocker => minimal drag in light airs + bow up when sailing downwind in strong breeze
• At equal true wind speeds up to 10kts, the Pogo12.50 is up to 4kts faster…
• for stronger winds >10kts the Pogo12.50 gets crazy!
• for TWS= 8 – 12 kts they have equal upwind VMG,
• for TWS >12kts, the stronger it blows the more Pogo12.50 outperforms the X-41 in upwind VMG
• Downwind VMG is always higher

Certainly Polar Diagrams are theoretical predictions assuming certain “ideal” conditions (perfect trimming, sails’ conditions, steering etc). However, they do provide however a useful tool when it comes to comparing yachts. Double digit boat speed sensations are now for everybody!

VPP Pogo12.50 vs X-41

VMG Downwind Pogo12.50 vs X-41

VMG Upwind Pogo12.50 vs X-41

Interior and exterior comfort that you can only find in much bigger yachts.

Interiors: 3 cabins, WC with shower, hot water, full kitchen, fridge, storage, excellent ventilation

Deck: Large and unobstructed cockpit, cockpit shower, low diving platform

Sailing fast does not have to be uncomfortable!

Pogo12.50 Interior No1

Pogo12.50 – super comfortable deck

Absolute safety. Sail relaxed, feel and be safe at all times, no compromise on that! Safety comes from 5 basic characteristics: Robust structure, Stability, Unsinkability, Offshore design, Speed potential Robust structure:

• Hull reinforced both longitudinally and transversally
• All bulkheads are structurally integrated
• Extra reinforcement on highly stressed areas of hull and deck (winches, rudder pits, engine etc.)
• Keel pivots backwards to absorb a grounding shock
• Structures naval yard construction quality
• Very low center of gravity – below the hull. 1.9 out of the 2.0tons of total keel weight,  located at the lowest part from -2m to -3m.
• Keel/Displacement ratio is at 2.0/5.5=36.4% (most cruising yachts have <30% , most racer/cruisers are rarely above 35%)
• Form stability (4.5m beam compared to ~3.5m in conventional boats of similar length)
• 3.0m deep keel
• max righting moment of 6.3tm @ 65 o or equivalently max righting arm of 1.145m (Most racer/cruisers are rarely above 0.8m…)
• AVS (angle of vanishing stability) = 124 o , with keel down
• AVS = 100 o with keel up.
• Even with the keel lifted, the Pogo12.50 could be classified as a Class B Design Category under ISO 12217 (minimum required AVS= 130 o -0.005xDisplacement = 130 o -0.005×5500 = 102.5 o >95 o )
• Always a rudder fully submerged for control.
• Rudder stands ~vertical => no hydrodynamic lift => steering is always soft and responsive
• When downwind both the rudders in the water => extra stability.
• When upwind only one of the rudders remains submerged => reduced drag

Un-sinkability:

• Buoyancy foam below front and aft cabins
• Watertight aft and bow crash compartments

Offshore design:

• All controls and manoeuvres are cockpit lead.
• All winches are close to the cockpit’s central axis. The crew does not have to lean towards the yacht’s extremity for monoeuvring
• No permanently fixed table that can seriously hurt the crew during rough seas
• Banks protect from incoming waves
• Open aft section for immediate drainage in case a wave breaks into the cockpit.
• Watertight sliding door is not the classic detachable panel type, but always in place, and ready to be closed at any time
• Life-raft is stored permanently within the cockpit for immediate access and safe deployment in case of emergency

Speed: Being fast is an element of safety per se:

• reach shelter quickly
• escape from a weather front

High Performance Line

High speeds and long distances

The Pogo 12.50 is definitely not a cruiser like all the rest. Her hull, designed by Finot-Conq Architects is the same as the Pogo 40S² – a frequent sight on the podium of the Class 40. Powerful, stiff, accentuated  by the chine, she will attain speeds that you have yet to experience. In only 3 to 4 knots of breeze, even long distances will seem much shorter…

Comfort at sea as ell as at rest

Even though the hull of the Pogo 12.50 is race oriented, she remains a cruiser giving total comfort, simplicity and style like Pogo have done since the beginning.

Layouts : 7 differents versions.  From the standard (2 cabins & 1 head) to the 3 cabins & 2 heads version.

Pogo 6.50 is a 21 ′ 3 ″ / 6.5 m monohull sailboat designed by Pierre Rolland and built by POGO Structures between 1994 and 2000.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Spinnaker: 72m2/775sf
