This 2021 Pogo S4 is a Class 40 racing yacht designed by Guillaume Verdier, representing the fourth generation of the S4 platform from Pogo Structures. The design emphasizes structural reliability alongside performance across all wind conditions, combining a powerful scow bow with a hull optimized for minimal drag in light air and offwind sailing. The boat's sister ships have secured podium finishes in major Class 40 events, including a second-place result in the 2021 40 Malouine Lamotte race.
The hull features chines running from bow to transom that provide exceptional stiffness and stability. A sheltered cockpit layout allows for efficient sail handling and crew operations while offering improved comfort and safety compared to more exposed designs. The deck plan is optimized for racing operations, with modern fittings and lifting sabre-profile rudders for precise steering control.
The Pogo S4 is equipped with a diesel engine and built from fiberglass. The specification sheet lists a 40-foot length with a 14.5-foot beam, delivering the narrow waterline characteristic of competitive Class 40 racing yachts. This example is ready for immediate deployment in major offshore racing programs, including transoceanic events and round-the-world Class 40 competitions.
