Waking Up on a Pogo 12.5.

You're right, IRC punishes this style of boat, rating would equate to north of 1.1. The design philosophy is simple, to make a fast, short handed capable passage maker that is comfortable. It's as simple as that.
Lucky I don't race for tin cups, I race because I enjoy playing with other boats and improving my skills.

That would be awesome fun, for about half an hour.
Then I'd need my nanny nap.

Hey it's not me who should be insulted I'm more concerned about that poor little Lotus sitting there wondering why she has gone from the light of your life to playing second fiddle to a Pogo (a toy for jumping about on, consisting of a long, spring-loaded pole with a handle at the top and rests for a person's feet near the bottom).Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!!

Bustards are one of my favourite birds, I saw a lot of them when I was living up in the East Kimberley and every autumn a couple turn up at my place for a month or so.
