There was one boat that did the Route de Rhum a few years back that was a Pogo 12.50 but managed to obtain a class 40 measurement certificate and was a hybrid of the 12.50 cruiser and the S3 class 40.

The spreader spacing look more conventional if you take in a reef and 2nd spreader is just above where the 3rd reef would be, and not knowing what her design brief are, I wouldn't be surprised if they speced that rig to have enough sail area to get moving under 8-10 knots of breeze but the plan is to sail with a reef virtually all the time you would be in the trades.

Don 35 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 The Pogo 44's rig is designed to run a inner furling staysail (about 20 square meters in area) using a removable torsion stay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any windy pics with the boat going upwind straight on? Class 40s run similar rig configurations, there are two things at play, the chainplate width (beam of the boat) and the cap shroud angle to the mast. In the case of the 44 the upper spreader is probably a slight bit shorter than the chainplate width but not hugely different. In some of the pics you can see the upper intermediate shroud which offsets the inner forestay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JL92S 319 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Like @ctutmark said it’s become a trend that started in class 40s and has been done by Pogo in their boats for the 30. Beneteau and Jeanneau now also do it with the performance rig version of the OC41.1 and with other models. The big reason is lowering cog of the boat and reducing windage up the rig. The MD of Z Spars in France told me that by adopting this spreader arrangement on a Jeanneau SO410 they can take 80kg out the keel and therefore lighten the structure by a couple of percent and the list goes on, when you build 400+ boats that represents a large cost saving 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

longy 659 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I fully realize the advantages of the swept spreaders in removing the backstay (s). But at some points, you need to go deep downwind. Like the Hunter B&R rigs, the only way to keep the main in one piece is to drop it altogether when running. I'd prefer about 1/2 the sweep angle & runners. Easy enuff to design so that runners are not critical to rig staying up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Easy enuff to design so that runners are not critical to rig staying up. 22.5° is the minimum angle you need on a spreader to do away with the backstay or runners entirely. Like others have said you’ll sail this boat on higher angles downwind and use the vast stability the hull has to offer. Also like all class 40s the new Pogo also does without a vang so you’re fully reliant on the sheet and traveller to control twist. It’s almost impossible to keep a mainsail off the spreaders these days but as long as you have patches on the sail for them I don’t see it being a problem. We have a 3di Endurance mainsail that has done nearly 5000 miles and that sits on the spreaders all the time and is perfectly fine. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sail wardrobe is from Incidence, but my local sailmaker savant is Hood Sails. Winches are Harken 46ST with the top starboard winch as two speed electric (main halyard). It's a lot of work hoisting the main manually when your solo, so I girled out and upgraded that one to electric. Best thing I ever did, it's a cinch to hoist the main even solo in a breeze. The mainsheet lives on the top port winch, 5 wraps, jammer open and in the self tailor. It's a handy spot, you can stand in the cabinway and grind, or pop up from below and ease when big gusts come through without getting all suited up. Cheers! SB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Miffy 2,141 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Thanks for sharing the link to the pics - got to say a little underwhelmed re the layout. Totally understand Finot Conq and Roseo Design carrying the DNA of the very successful Pogo36 forward... but for a boat this big, that aft starboard head seems a bit awkward and the lack of forward visibility is a little disappointing. Kind of similar to what RM's interior layout can be but somehow more claustrophobic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My tick box list was short handed capable, race as well as cruise, shallow water capable, fast, tough, safe and fun to sail. Structures and JPK nailed that to a tee and why I went for the pogo. JPK were a close second. JPKs can win IRC pickle dishes... to the point that there are nearly indispensable to win one in their class! When IMS was more used Pogo could win but a Pogo is against all the ideas the RORC (and YCF) have of a racing boat so don't stand a chance in IRC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fishingbobber 2 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 This is the way I look at it .. and ive thought about this before I saw their spreader spacing ... a keel stepped mast can be way thinner... why bc its being grasped and there are secondary stresses .. like a canterleavered one peice beam that runs continuious over three posts ,instead of the same overall span but the beam breaks in the middle ,,,, the beam can be way smaller... the low spreader and guys are like the deck and the bottom is like the mast on keel... also there is less penalty in windage and weight than up high, with the first set lower ,,.. I have wondered if you had just guys attached to a deck stepped mast at 6 feet.. all around,, comming in at a low angle,, could that be the similar to a keel stepped mast Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pantouf 24 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Pogos are great boats to sail. I sailed a 40 on various occasions. I have considered one, but I think I am heading to the world of multihulls. Similar sort of speed potential, but just more comfy to be on. But this new 44 looks awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
