Pogo 36 - Windrausch - 2023

Windrausch is a 2023 Pogo 36, a nimble French-built sailboat based in Biograd Na Moru on Croatia's central Dalmatian coast. This compact cruiser—just under 11 metres with a responsive hull and modern rig—is purpose-built for sailors who want engaging, hands-on sailing combined with genuine comfort. From her home port, you'll have direct access to the Adriatic's most rewarding cruising grounds: the Pakleni Islands, Hvar's sheltered anchorages, and the quiet coves dotting the Dalmatian archipelago. The boat sleeps seven across three cabins and one head, making her ideal for small families or groups of friends seeking a week of coastal exploration without the complexity of a larger vessel. The Pogo 36's three-cabin layout maximises usable space while maintaining the stability and seaworthiness you need for overnight passages and variable conditions. Windrausch comes equipped with an autopilot for longer stretches, a gennaker for light-wind sailing, and a capable 30 kW engine for motoring through calms or tight anchorages. Heating keeps early-season and shoulder-month charters comfortable, while the onboard dinghy opens access to remote beaches and shallow-draft anchorages inaccessible to larger yachts. A hot-water system, full safety kit, VHF radio, and wind instruments round out the essentials for confident, self-sufficient sailing. A week aboard Windrausch unfolds at a natural rhythm: mornings spent sailing between islands under full canvas, afternoons anchored in crystalline bays where you'll swim directly from the deck, and evenings ashore sampling local Dalmatian wines and grilled seafood. The boat's manageable size means you're never wrestling with complex systems, yet her performance keeps the sailing engaging and rewarding. Whether you're an experienced skipper or a confident sailor seeking a more intimate connection with the sea, this Pogo delivers the balance of ease and authenticity that defines a memorable Adriatic charter.
