Overview maps with approximate locations and different scales. Coastline data: Natural Earth · maps: Sophie.
As a planning example, this overview uses a draught of 2.2 m on approach. For the Pogo boats in the example, this means with the keel raised. Depth figures and practical conditions are given beside each place where available.

About the selection and boat dimensions
The information comes from the operators’ websites and the harbour authority’s approach descriptions, checked on 19 September 2026. Source links appear beside each place. The lifting capacities refer to the boat hoists.
Ridge Wharf is omitted because 2.2 m is stated as the maximum draught at high water. Chichester is omitted because of its shallow entrance channel. Davis’s Boatyard states a lifting limit of 42 feet, approximately 12.8 m, which is shorter than the Pogo 44’s length overall.
The Pogo 44’s stated draught is 1.38 m with the keel raised and 3.10 m with it lowered; the Pogo 36’s is 1.18 / 2.95 m. JPK states 2.15 m for the fixed keel on the 39 FC, while the equipment specification used here states 2.25 m. The 2.2 m starting point is therefore a planning figure.
