Krakatoa II
The first Pogo class 40 in Australia, Krakatoa II is part of an explosive class, which is taking Europe by storm. Designed as a stepping stone between a Mini 6.5 and the Open 60s, the class 40 is a fast seaworthy boat that is suitable for short handed sailing. Likened to a 40 foot version of a VO60, it carries 750 litres of water ballast each side which provides the required stability to carry the enormous sail area. Not built to perform under IRC handicap, the boat should be a contender with the fast 40 footers for line honours in this size range.
