[@mikkoleirimaa1061]

Looks like a lot of fun

[@tincoffin]

What's it like in waves not just in flat water ...?

[@IandiBoats]

Michael looked as if he was holding on for dear life :-)

[@zeuso.1947]

I tried 5 times and couldn't understand what he said the boat was at 1:11 Anyone ???

[@MYTHIC901]

how much?

[@dilligafwoftam985]

Call that mental then look into the classe mini protos. More recent designs are bonkers. Bath tub shaped with hydrofoils to life the whole boat out of the water.

[@wysiwyg2006]

i have a 1979 mini transat (intro 22). definitley not as sparse as these modern speed rockets

[@YaniT991]

Some call a boat 'mental' like that's a bad thing......... 8-)

LUV ID.

[@TheFlyingPlectrum]

The amount of light coming through the hull to deck join doesn't exactly fill one with confidence considering it's designed to cross oceans at speed!

[@vyleart4488]

Actually most boats are like that. Usually hidden by a shitty carpet covering or heavy wood panels. The boat is not designed to be cute ;)

[@Jg4bus]

Wondered the same thing!

[@pacerodi]

What a beauty! When you get tired of it would you give it to me? Lol.

[@spymaine89]

unfortunate you could not describe the mechanics of the boat.

[@santamulligan676]

Fast enough to drive around the weather but god help you if you get clobbered

Nice quick look at the new Pogo 3. I enjoy the fact that the Mini Transat are making the offshore racing scene available to emerging talents with limited budgets. However, I do take issue with Mr. Sheahan not wearing a life jacket. That is if not the Henry Lloyd jacket he is wearing is a flotation jacket. Mr. Sheahan is one of the top dogs in yachting journalism. He is respected and should perhaps reflect on this matter in future videos and articles in Yachting World and on You Tube. So should his Editor, who's judgement in releasing this was not his finest moment as a proper Mariner.

[@NightSailor]

I agree. Not a leader.

[@NightSailor]

Poor example

[@hajosmulders]

Nice boat, but what the heck does 25% more powerful on a sailboat mean?!? That's just a dumb statement!

[@TheGizmo1122]

It means that its 25% more powerful? whats not to understand...

[@adamsmith-bg5wq]

most likely it means more sail area, and the righting moment to keep the boat vertical in a heavy breeze with that much sail up.

[@mitchdehotte]

@@adamsmith-bg5wq Yes I agree power can be discribe as the capacity to keep the most of the sheets the longer depending the wind conditions ! It s the perfect definition

[@davidbrown8365]

25% more than previous generation Pogo 2
