I swore I'd never use blocks with plastic cheeks after completing our last ocean crossing. The sun's UV weakens the plastic and they shatter / break at the worst possible times. I replaced all mine with metal cheeked blocks. Yes, they're heavier, but mid-ocean I don't have to worry about them failing on me. Nice boat and great videos!
Great video - and to add to your comment on why we do these "crazy" things - My father in law's famous quote in our family when his doctor asked why he kept doing week long+ adventure canoe trips well into his seventies was "Because it feels so good when I stop!!!". Gotta get out there in all conditions to get the experience!
I really enjoyed that! Thanks for taking us along for the ride. I've often wondered what sailing one of these vessels is really like and that really looked like fun :-) Cheers
Thanks a lot for your video and Sharing your thoughts and experience. Great job and only to do of you know what you have to do to sail safe. Keep on sailing!

Very good lessons here Claus. Thank you. However, I think your reaching should be much faster with your bow higher. I've seen this design's bow ride higher (and dryer). Could it be the bottom needs cleaning?
Meget spændende at følge sig på vintertraining. Jeg er meget tæt på at købe en pogo 2, men kunne utrolig godt tænke mig at sejle en først… vil du købe den igen? Tak for videoen. Vh, Axel
Hej Claus, tak for nogle fine videoer… sejler du stadig pogo 6,5 er nemlig på udkig efter en, måske du ved om der er flere i Danmark du kender som sejler samme type båd eller om der måske er en til salg…
@@henrikpoulsen7783 glæder mig at du synes om den. Jeg har solgt båden til en Hollænder for 4 år siden. En god måde at finde ud af hvilke både som er i Danmark er at søge på Websejler.dk. Held og lykke med projektet
I do not have the boat any longer but here is a good picture of another POGO 2 with articulating bowsprit. www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.abilynsailing.com%2Fthe-takedown%2F2014%2F2%2F16%2Fmy-most-memorable-sailing-moment&psig=AOvVaw1fnG786Abpv0Xb35hoqUKj&ust=1608371666742000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCMC74sCh1-0CFQAAAAAdAAAAABAF
Which harbour you were sailing out of at 1:00, please? Wanna try recreating your sailing in Sailaway simulator. :-) My guess would be - based on comparing the few scenes in your video with the geographical, terrain and architectural features seen on Google Earth - the marina of Holbæk. Please let me know.

Amazing truly but how do you make a cup of tea? 🙄👍
Looks so easy...

I like the Bow pole. Can you do a close Up?

Inner stay? That’s not a Transat one design rig.
It is the standard Pogo 2 rig

You are absolutely right. Sound like an interesting project.
