Abilyn is a 2013 Pogo2 Mini Transat 6.50. Undoubtedly, Abilyn has transformed me from a racer/cruiser into a true seaman, and has unlocked resourcefulness and capabilities that I never knew I possessed. From hitting a top speed of 17.5 knots while sailing downwind in 30 knots of breeze in the 2015 Around Long Island Regatta en route to rounding Montauk only 1 hour and 15 minutes after Warrior Won (the overall 2016 Newport-Bermuda winner), to repairing Abilyn's rudders in the service entrance of my apartment building in Brooklyn, sailing and owning Abilyn has been amazingly rewarding, exciting, and invaluable. If you want to develop your skills as a fully-capable, self-reliant, offshore sailor, or just want to blast around at 15 knots downwind with a grin from ear to ear while not spending a ton of money to do so, this is the boat for you.
