Eligibility and registration

The 2022 courses are open to all Pogo class boats. The Bongo 9.60 from the Winches Club will also be there.

To allow us to organize this event, it is requested to register before July 20th. After this date, prices will be increased (if places are available).

A registration will only be confirmed when the file is complete (payment and insurance certificate).

Competitors who do not have a number in the sail will mention it at the registration.

Places of port in Douarnenez

Free entry is granted to participating boats from the evening of Friday, September 2 to Monday, September 5 inclusive. If a longer duration is necessary, we will try to find solutions…

The harbour master’s office will do its best to group all the Pogo’s together. For this purpose, contact us by VHF 9 or telephone (0297335951) for the allocation of a place.

The organization reserves the right to communicate the necessary information to the harbour master’s office in case of request.

Registration fees

To participate in the Gathering, the skipper/owner of the boat must be up to date with his 2022 A.I.P. membership fee (15€).

The registration fee for the meeting is 50€ per boat for all series and whatever the number of crew members, who are invited to the meeting and will only pay for their meal.
Please register directly online at https://www.assopogo.net/evenements before July 20th.

Late registration received after July 20th: boat 60€.

Insurance

Each participating boat will have to provide a copy of its insurance certificate in civil liability as soon as the file is constituted. Unfortunately, we are having too much trouble getting them back.

Crew exchange

So that all the members of the Association can participate, even those who for one reason or another could not come with their boat, the Organizing Committee will try to make them embark on the participating boats. We also wish to welcome on our boats when it will be possible members of the Winches Club.

Meals

The participation fee for the Saturday dinner, the Sunday breakfast and the Friday evening, Saturday evening and Sunday lunch aperitifs is 25€ per person. People who have not sailed can also participate. For reasons of stewardship, registration for the meal will be closed 8 days before the meeting.
