\u201cCool to me means super tough, go-anywhere, probably slightly utilitarian but still fast, comfortable and fun,\u201d says Jacobs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first time I saw a Pogo 44<\/a> I fell in love with it. Foam buoyancy makes it unsinkable; the deep centreboard allows good upwind sailing but can be raised to less than 1.5m, making it a great adventure cruiser that can get into the shallowest of anchorages or across awkward bars. It\u2019s light with a large sail area, meaning it doesn\u2019t need much wind to get moving, and is super fast when there\u2019s a breeze.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen I love the Scandinavian cool down below. Large windows let in so much light, the wide beam carries all the way aft allowing loads of space, and it\u2019s all bright, uncluttered, and comfortable. Its minimalist approach won\u2019t be to everyone\u2019s tastes, but I love it. What a boat!\u201d<\/p>\n

Pogo has built over 40 of the 44 since its 2020 launch.<\/p>\n
