Deck Layout
The deck of this Pogo 12.50 is clean, open and designed for efficient offshore sailing with all control lines led to the cockpit. A single carbon tiller provides direct steering feel. Winches and clutches are positioned within easy reach for shorthanded operation. The large cockpit features coamings and built-in seating with backrests and an unobstructed deck plan for sail handling. A wide open aft platform offers excellent access to the water and dinghy stowage. The Pogo 12.50’s wide beam and form-stability hull shape support powerful sail plans without compromising safety. The lifting keel system allows draft reduction for shallow waters while maintaining high performance offshore.
Notable deck equipment includes racing-grade running rigging, a carbon mast with swept spreaders and square-top mainsail capability, multiple sail inventories for varied conditions, and offshore safety gear rigged for quick deployment. Ocean Racers operated this yacht as Hermes for race charter and offshore campaigns, participating in Caribbean events and training programs, reflecting her readiness for performance sailing.

Interior
Below, the interior is functional and well-lit, optimized for offshore comfort and utility. A central saloon with sturdy table and comfortable settees provides communal space. The galley is equipped with secure storage, refrigeration, and provisions for extended cruising. Forward and aft cabins offer sleeping accommodations, with practical storage throughout. A dedicated technical/utility space and enclosed head with shower enhance liveaboard usability. Systems include pressurized water, navigation electronics, and integrated electrical distribution suitable for offshore voyaging.
This Pogo 12.50 comes with robust cruising and racing gear, engineered for long-distance performance and practical handling. She is stored at Peakes Boatyard, Trinidad, in dry storage, ready for inspection and commissioning.
