Pogo Structures is a French boat builder founded in Quimper by Christian Bouroullec in 1987. The company moved in 1990 to Combrit,[1] specializes in the design and manufacture of racing and cruising sailboats.[2][3] It launched its first motor boat in 2017.[4]

As of 2020, the 80 people shipyard has produced 900 boats, with an average of 55 per year over the last few years.[5]

Construction

Pogo Structures uses, since 2004, the vacuum infusion process to build lightweight and stiff fiberglass sandwich boats.[6] Starting 2007, the cruising range benefits from a lifting keel option.[7]
