Proven, fast, and fully seasoned, this 2004 Pogo 8.50 is ready for its next offshore adventure. Built by Pogo Structures and designed by Pierre Rolland, this legendary cruiser-racer has spent its life doing exactly what it was designed to do: eating up ocean miles with speed, safety, and absolute reliability. While her cosmetic condition reflects a boat that has been genuinely sailed and enjoyed rather than kept in a showroom, her structural integrity, wide planing hull, and twin-rudder setup remain as robust and thrilling as ever.

For the sailor who prioritizes performance and ocean-tested capability over pristine gelcoat, this Pogo 8.50 represents an incredible opportunity to own a legendary shorthanded blue-water vessel. She comes with a functional, minimalist interior that sleeps up to six, a layout optimized for efficiency at sea, and a track record that proves she can handle whatever the weather throws at her. She is not a project boat, but a living piece of fast-cruising history that is fully prepared to take you across the channel or around the Atlantic tomorrow.
