DrWatson 382 Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 there was an almost new pogo 30 next to us at westhaven for the coastal classic . Two chaps at whitianga got it built and they raved about it no end . very cool boat and it drew a good crowd of well heeled old fellas from around the marina for the two days it was there , the quality of the gear was top shelf and the systems were very clever , bloody big boat for 30ft too plenty of free board and massive beam Yes, Puff brought that to our collective attentions a few pages back (I think). The 30 is certainly a cool boat, and indeed quite large for a 30 footer. I watched one being short tacked out of the Odet river in France near the yard a couple years ago - pointing like 6 fingered yokel at a ufo. How’d it do in the coastal? I’ve heard a few rumours that for all their coolness and sailing ability they haven’t really featured on the podiums - possibly due to their massive draft and subsequent handicap.

Ex Machina 384 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 115th on line out of 118 finshers . but to be fair it was very light upwind race and the guys were there more for the fun of it seemed to me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
escapehatch 0 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Ack about electric drive, my thoughts are around a hybrid system with a Diesel genset with enough ooph. But from my early stage RnD they're heavier than the Volvo it'd replace. Maybe the total weight of electric sail drive, genset, and lithium is roughly the equivalent of the Volvo with standard batteries. Plenty of time ahead to produce a spreadsheet about that.

DrWatson 382 Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 Well the 36 is kind of holding on, a few tactical decisions poss could’ve been made better, but the real performer has to be the 30! Currently 15 nm ahead of the 36, possibly the smallest boat in the fleet and doing very well! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
muzled 140 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Is this sitting in nz?? https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/boats-marine/yachts/keeler/auction-1903951869.htm?rsqid=85e5157d687b4734bd1bb87268fa3c82 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 The broker's site is silent on the location, and is asking $255,000 Euro. None of the photos are NZ, but some look to be Pacific / Tahiti area. Being French, its highly likely to be around there. I'd take a punt its not in NZ, but somewhere 'nearby', i.e. Pacific. I see its the swing keel model, which I really rate. There is a lot about this boat that gets me excited. Unfortunately the price kills it for me straight away. Will have to stick to me 35 yr old kauri log. Edit - the sail number starts with 'IVB', never heard of it, anyone know where that is? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 The boat is registered in Road Harbour, British Virgin Islands, so I'm assuming IVB is the sail number for there. Doesn't really help with where the boat is now. Makes it sounds likes it's domiciled somewhere handy for tax though... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately the price kills it for me straight away. Will have to stick to me 35 yr old kauri log. Yeah, I'm not even sure why I was asking if it was here or not given I've barely got a brass razoo to my name and my boat has a growing list of things that need doing... I like my similar aged Kauri log but immediately get excited when I see a pogo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi_jon 27 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 The boat is in Tahiti https://www.boats.com/sailing-boats/2012-pogo-12-50-6940017/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
khayyam 92 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 looks great. now where did i put that spare half mil? not being able to go on a 12m berth would be a little unfortunate in akl i'd think Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 But with a swing keel, draft of 1.2 m, it sure opens up other mooring options. Like where I park, up the Weiti, but with no restrictions on crossing the bar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrWatson 382 Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 So, these were in my inbox when I got back from Xmas Holidays... I can't for the life of me figure out where they all go... And the mast was ordered this morning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

muzled 140 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Looks very similar to e new IKEA store in Auckland Except when you put it all together you get something a whole, WHOLE, lot more sexy! Are you getting a carbon mast DW Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DrWatson 382 Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 Colours are HARD to choose... examples... these are the same colour. And this one is a slightly (very slightly) different colour... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ex Machina 384 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Middle one ! Other two look a bit Hanse Quote Link to post Share on other sites
raz88 97 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Isn't the middle one the same as the top one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 393 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 The extra strip on the middle one improves the lines for me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I like the extra blue stripe. Are there any options other than grey? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
