  • hm why did you opt for the double tiller steering ?? ... i see the way you hold the extension it wont be very comfortable like pogo2 with the single tiller you can store the autopilot downstairs to protect it from waves like TipTop mini ..... and that funny shaped box is there a construction reason for it or just "design" ... but the price is right and is there any chance to reveal polars for this design or is that a secret ?

  • I didn't design the boat. The steering position seems fine for the sailing I've done, but we'll have to get Christian's perspective on it when he starts puting the miles on it. I don't have any polars from OCD, but she seems to be really fast compared to the other series boats I've sailed on. I have yet to sail the legendary Pogo 2.

  • Good luck to Minis in America!! Have been fascinated with the class for years, spend a lot of time trying to translate French web pages. Would love to see this class take off in the USA, maybe if I find a frail, elderly, rich uncle I can help start the class in the Pac NW!
