II Tender is a Pogo 12.50 made by finite-cone architects in Brittany, France.

Its hard-chined hull is drawn from its Open 40 predecessor, the Pogo 40, which won several major transatlantic races, and the Route de Rhum in 2006.

It is a Category A ocean racing boat, the highest safety rating, which means it is capable of trans-oceanic races and withstanding heavy storm force seas.

The Pogo 12.50 can meet serious emergencies without the expectation of outside assistance.
