What Jean-Marie Finot's boats do well
Jean-Marie Finot has 61 designs in this archive, drawn between 1972 and 2020, and 11 yards have built them. Nobody keeps this one to themselves.
The longest of those relationships is with Beneteau: 40 designs between 1980 and 2017, 37 years of the same two names on the same transom.
The Pogo 40 of 2007 is the most efficient design here, with a Race Edge of 87 — it is in the middle and the heavy that it makes the difference, turning the old pattern over.
It holds for the First Class 8 of 1982 as much as for the Oceanis 323 of 2004: the size changes, the character does not.
The range runs from 6 metres, the First 21.7, to 15, the Pogo 50.
