In Sainte Marine Marine Marine nationale , her port of call close to the shipyard (south-west of Brittany), the first Pogo 2 has passed through stability and insubmersibility tests as did confirmed Erwan Tymen by mail to the redaction. He also has sent the photos of the test which present the first Pogo 2 at sea... But not yet sailing.
"The Pogo 2 has been launched in Ste Marine Marine Marine nationale " he wrote. "We are going to test her at sea toward the next week. She will then been craned out of water to add the electronics and fittings. The boat is then not completely finished and we will not open her for ’press tests’ before the end of January..."
The main goal for this new Pogo will now to get qualified for the Transat The Transat #thetransat #ostar 650 Charente Maritime - Bahia in September.
If the prototype division is nearly full, eight monthes before the start, there is still few places in the serie one which is opened to nearly 50 percent of the entries. Pogo 2 owners will then have the first part of the season to enter in 1000 nm long solo races and sail their 1000 nm long qualification course get qualified for the solo transat.
Structures’ goal is then nearly reached as more than 10 boats are already charged by new owners. This will then qualify this new production for the serie division of the Transat The Transat #thetransat #ostar .
