All Pogo Structures Boats For Sale
Pogo Structures is a sailboat (and more recently motorboat) builder, founded in 1987 by Christian Bouroullec in Quimper, France.
In 1990 the yard moved to Combrit-Sainte-Marine. They build both racing and cruising sailboats, specialising in light, high-performance designs that can handle short-handed or solo offshore sailing.
They build their cruising range with lifting keels (where applicable) to combine performance with shallower draft or better versatility.
Key Strengths & Reputation
Light weight, high form stability hulls. Their designs are fast, and generally considered well engineered. Designs often come from high profile naval architects: Finot-Conq for the cruisers, Guillaume Verdier for the more race-oriented programmes. Good reputation among owners for being offshore capable even in smaller sizes, value retention, sensible minimalist interiors.
