SPEED
Effortless fast sailing due to modern hull lines, reduced total weight, mast and sail plan design and strong and quality-built boat.

At 20 knots TWS / 100 TWA, with full main and J1, autopilot ON, she will be touching 12,5 knots boat speed while surfing waves.
Pegasus DOES NOT compromise comfort, safety and simplicity by increasing sail area, reducing liquids capacity or proper equipment necessary for freedom at sea.
We developed light but sound and safe boat construction with winning ocean racing designers and engineers using state-of-the-art production technologies, advanced materials, and engineering methods.
Extended mast crane reduces mast height and weight and increases a mainsail area for light wind performance.
The sail area is kept moderately small for easy handling, optimized for 15-20 knots of wind.
Sailing upwind, the main sail can only be reefed above 22 knots to reduce necessary operations and damaging sails.
From 15 knots TWS on, a self-tacking J2 and full mainsail is a comfortable upwind configuration.
As downwind sails, we use FURLING Code 0 and modern FURLING systems with torque rope for the asymmetric gennaker. Both furled sails can be kept hoisted while cruising.

P50 #3 - OSTAR 2022 winner
The technical compartments are spacious, split by function and easy to reach, so maintenance and repairs can be done comfortably, without the need for crawling into or working in tight spaces.
SPEED HIGHLIGHTS:
CONCEPT OF SPEED
Pegasus is, in any sense, NOT a racing boat. The sole focus when designing and building Pegasus is reliability, simplicity while handling with shorthanded crew and increasing comfort staying onboard. Some of the elements mentioned above, are key for fast sailing.
OCEAN RACING
Pegasus 50 has potential, with proper preparations, knowledge, and experience, competitively racing oceans over longer distances. Single handed or shorthanded crew will find good shelter on deck and comfortable stay inside while covering over 300 miles in 24 hours. A Gentlemen’s cruiser for racers.
OSTAR 2022 WINNER
Markus Moser with Pegasus50#3 WON famous OSTAR race across Nort Atlantic, from Plymouth UK to Newport US. After 19 days of mainly upwind sailing in winds above 30 knots, constant waves crushing on deck and temperatures below 5 deg C, Markus kept enjoying every day of his Atlantic crossing due to safety, comfort, reliability and speed provided from Pegasus50.
