Pegasus Yachts PEGASUS 50
About this yacht
The Pegasus Yachts PEGASUS 50 represents a refined approach to bluewater sailing, where thoughtful design meets proven performance. At 15.24 meters, this sailing yacht accommodates up to 10 guests and delivers the kind of versatility that appeals to both seasoned offshore sailors and families seeking comfortable coastal cruising. What distinguishes the Pegasus 50 is its foundation in real-world experience. The design evolves continuously through feedback from owners, crews, and extensive sea trials, resulting in a sailing yacht that addresses practical challenges with elegant solutions. The hull combines modern lines with light displacement, while the optimized mast and sail plan work together to create a responsive, capable cruising sailboat that moves efficiently through varying conditions. The connection between cockpit and saloon defines the onboard experience. A sliding glass companionway door and panoramic windows create an unusually cohesive living space, flooded with natural light and offering 360-degree visibility. The fixed sprayhood and cockpit cabrio roof provide all-weather protection, while the mainsheet arch keeps the working area clear and safe. These aren't decorative touches—they're functional elements that make extended passages more manageable and day sailing more enjoyable. Below deck, the layout flows logically. The U-shaped galley allows secure food preparation underway, with strategically placed fridges featuring drawer access and an additional deep freeze. The navigation station enables the watch keeper to monitor conditions from inside during demanding weather, maintaining comfort without sacrificing awareness. Perhaps most ingenious is the gimbaled settee and saloon table, which locks upright or tilts 10 degrees in either direction, creating a level seating area regardless of heel angle—a simple innovation that significantly reduces fatigue on long passages. As a performance cruiser, the Pegasus 50 excels in moderate conditions. The sail plan is optimized for 15-20 knots of wind, where a self-tacking J2 and full mainsail provide comfortable upwind sailing. Push into 20 knots at 100 degrees true wind angle with the J1, and this sailboat touches 12.5 knots while surfing, yet remains controlled under autopilot. For downwind work, a furling Code 0 and asymmetric gennaker with modern torque rope systems stay hoisted when furled, simplifying sail handling during cruising mode. The cockpit transforms into a protected outdoor room. The hard top and glass windshield shield against sun and weather, while foldable side wings enclose three sides when needed. A folding swimming platform extends from the cockpit, creating immediate water access, and the dinghy garage beneath accommodates a four-person inflated tender. Systems accessibility sets this bluewater yacht apart from many competitors. Engine, generator, electrical, and fluid systems occupy separate compartments under the cockpit, allowing maintenance without contortionist maneuvers. The standard equipment list reads like a custom specification: generator, watermaker, solar panels, LiFePO4 batteries, air conditioning, induction cooker, washing machine, comprehensive navigation suite, redundant autopilot, and radar. Even cutlery, cookware, bedding, and safety equipment come included. The accommodation plan offers flexibility. The owner's cabin features a full-width bed or twin configuration, with a private head. Guest quarters include a V-berth cabin with dedicated storage, while the port-side cabin adapts to single, bunk, or double bed arrangements depending on layout version. Two heads serve the boat, with the guest head featuring a separate shower. For shorthanded sailing, every control runs aft to the cockpit helm stations. Single-line reefing handles two or three slab reefs in the mainsail. Furling lines, tack lines, and halyards terminate at stoppers within easy reach. Four electric winches reduce physical effort, while the carbon mast allows multiple headsails to remain furled aloft, enabling quick sail changes without foredeck work. The composite construction employs a hybrid of carbon and glass fibers with PVC core and vinylester resin, vacuum-infused for optimal strength-to-weight ratio. The monocoque structure bonds deck, bulkheads, and floors to the hull, creating exceptional rigidity. A foam-filled crash box forward provides collision protection, while the anchor locker and dinghy garage maintain watertight integrity from the main hull. The keel—a tandem design with twin centerline fins joined by a lead bulb—improves directional stability and increases lateral lift while minimizing drag. The Pegasus 50 delivers what many sailors seek but few boats truly provide: a capable racer-cruiser that doesn't demand constant compromise. Whether planning extended offshore passages or weekend family outings, this sailing yacht from Pegasus Yachts handles both with the same assured competence.
