How the Pegasus 67 hull is built
The hull shell is a hybrid glass-carbon laminate with a high-impact-resistant SAN core. The outer skin is full glass fibre, a practical choice, while the carbon inner skin adds stiffness and keeps the construction lighter. The composite set is impregnated with vinylester resin through vacuum infusion, which keeps resin content low and delivers a consistent laminate and reduced weight from hull to hull.
The choice of materials and lamination technology serves one aim: a light, stiff and strong hull. Low composite weight is a main contributor to the Pegasus 67’s displacement of 21,5 t, which is objectively very light for a bluewater cruiser of 67 feet. Low displacement also allows for a more conservative sail area, which makes a fast boat easier to sail and handle. A lighter yacht accelerates sooner, loads its rig and sails less, and responds earlier to the helm.
