Base Camp is a Pogo 2 designed in 2003 by leading French designers Finot Conq and built by Structures Boatyard. Since 2003 Pogo 2s have dominated the Series Class winning the last two Transats.
The fastest daily run in a Series Mini was in a Pogo 2 - 259.4 miles in 24 hours at an average speed of 10.8 knots. It was set by Herve Piveteau in the 2006 Azores race. Pogo 2s are also among the most reliable boats in the Mini fleet with all 11 boats that started the 2005 Transat reaching the finish line in Brazil.
