The Pogo 2 is and respectable in club racing.
Hull Speed
The theoretical displacement-mode speed limit — determined by waterline length, not engine or sail power.
6.2 kts
A displacement hull pushes a bow wave whose speed is limited by the waterline length.
With a waterline of 21.3′, the Pogo 2 tops out around 6.2 knots in displacement mode — after that, the bow wave outruns the hull and resistance climbs steeply.
1.34 × √21.3′ LWL = 6.2 kts
