French boatbuilder Pogo Structures is currently developing the POGO 50 2, a new 50-foot sail yacht designed for long-distance cruising.
A true passage maker, it embodies everything that defines the Pogo DNA: an innovative concept, cutting-edge technology and meticulous construction, with no compromise on safety or reliability.
Safety and Long-Distance Voyage Capability
Designed as a liveaboard boat, the POGO 502 incorporates structural solutions that enhance safety during offshore sailing, including watertight bulkheads and buoyancy compartments. Build quality -
a hallmark of Pogo Structures - reflects the same commitment to reliability and durability.
Designed for long passages, she is suitable for a wide range of sailors and enables:
- effortless speed on all points of sail,
- comfort and security in heavy seas,
- simplified life on board for short-handed or family crews.
She is equally suited to ocean crossings and round-the-world projects, as well as more relaxed cruising. Her performance potential also makes her eligible for offshore races such as the Giraglia,
the Fastnet Race and the Middle Sea Race.
Life on Board: Simplicity and Functionality
The POGO 502 emphasises autonomy, robustness and ease of use. The interior layout is designed for comfortable onboard living, with fluid circulation, practical storage, natural ventilation and materials suited to intensive use. Several configurations will be available, including three and four cabin layouts, to suit different sailing programmes.
A Project Under Development
Currently in the final design phase, the project has already produced a full-scale mock-up and an initial hull definition. Construction is scheduled to begin this summer, with an official presentation of the POGO 502 is scheduled for January 2027. Launch is expected at the end of 2027, a symbolic year marking the 40th anniversary of Pogo Structures.
