I'd look like like a bit of a fool if I didn't pick this!!



Pogo 12.50

I would not be so rude as to ask on the forum how much dinero you are paying for this yacht. I just know it is plenty.

If funds needed for ownership for me were in abundance, which means not just buying it, the lesser part of the equation, but the ongoing ownership cost of at least 10% of the capital cost per annum for maintenance, plus another 10% for when you feel creative and another 20% at least if you are going racing, I guess I would pick a POGO 12 too.

Before commitment to a purchase though I would have to be convinced by a demonstration sail which I am anticipating on the Fair Fusion in the not too distant future. A divisional or handicap win with myself aboard in the 2016 Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race would be a "Fish or cut bait" thing wouldn't it??

Go and buy one or sit out on the rail.

Hi all

Not sure which one but I would be looking at around about a 40 foot cruising Cat

My Choice after much research would be a 36 S&S Racer/Cruiser,
but I dont like my chances of one coming onto the market

I like all of the SS boats and thought of yours. Just a bit too big for me. I like my boats to be a bit handy.

I have always had a thing about Cole 32's. Always silly money till now.

There is a Kalik 33 in Sydney that would seriously tempt me if it came on the market.


If I was just wanting to spend heaps I would probably look at a Hallberg Rassy.

That Cole 32 looks pretty good value, nice lines

It's to hard to make a single decision!

If money really was no concern, I would have 2 boats, ( or maybe more)

Donks 40 cruising cat with a couple of big diesel auxilleries sounds great, and thensomething like the sunfast 3600 to race. Set the sunfast up to do cat 2 races.

Can see myself at hammo after a days racing, heading back to the cat for apre race drinks and nibbles.

After a couple of years thrashing the sunfast, trade it in on the next latest & fast little toy.

As I have a real soft spot for old timber yachts, may have a share in something on Sydney harbour, with a couple of like minded people, and do some classic racing........only a " share" mind you.

I certainly appreciate the beauty if the old. But that Moody 54 does it for me

If I was just wanting to spend heaps I would probably look at a Hallberg Rassy.

Mmmm.....Hallberg Rassy :)

Anyone want to go halves or quarters in a Moody DS 54?? Please

I'm going to have to stop reading this thread, it's torture.

Hanse / Moody use the same hull for the Moody 54DS and the Hanse 575, and yes they are a great boat to sail, but I prefer the lay out of my 575, and can not think of a better all round boat to own. A Moody 54DS will run you into about $1,600,000.00. after you tick a few boxes.

Is that for the solar or genset version? damit I want the all solar with washing machine and R/C!

Read between the lines southace. I have been sailing on Jode7, a Hanse 575, it is the duck's nuts and he did not pay $1.6 mill for it.

Shaggie's Pogo looks hard to beat
Looks great, goes like a bullet, plenty of space and the option of shallow draft
What more can you ask for
