What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Ideal for active sailors This 2020 Pogo 36 suits experienced sailors or confident intermediates who want a modern, nimble racer-cruiser rather than a floating hotel. With just 10.9 metres and three cabins, it's built for performance, not pampering, so you'll need to enjoy hands-on sailing.
Genuinely quick vessel The Pogo range punches well above its weight for speed and handling, and this one comes well-equipped with essentials like autopilot, sprayhood, and chart plotter. You'll have responsive steering and lively sailing characteristics that make passage-making genuinely enjoyable rather than a slow slog.
Smart value proposition At this size and age with a reasonable deposit (€4,000), Spicy represents decent value if you're chartering for a week of active sailing, especially if you're flying long-haul and want a capable boat rather than a larger, slower cruiser that feels bloated for a small crew.
Tight quarters note Three cabins across 11 metres means compact sleeping and shared facilities; if your group expects privacy or comfort comparable to a 45-footer, you'll feel the squeeze. Also, confirm the charter base location with Open Sail upfront, as that'll determine your airport transfer time from whatever international hub you're flying into.
