Pegasus 50 review: the best 50ft yacht you haven’t heard of?

• Toby Hodges
• July 11, 2024

Mixing new and proven ideas, the Pegasus 50 is a short-handed fast bluewater yacht with a marked difference, as Toby Hodges discovers on a two-day test sail

Product Overview

Price as reviewed:.

Three towering masts pierce the skyline off Trieste, where the impounded Sailing Yacht A lies forlorn at anchor like a crippled leviathan. The Russian-owned Philippe Starck design makes a fittingly stark reminder of how going so big has its drawbacks – never could the now shackled hulk, an empty floating metropolis, be more evidently impractical and I can’t help but think it makes for a neat contrast when viewed from the Pegasus 50 as we sail out of the pretty Slovenian town of Izola nearby.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not calling a €1m Pegasus 50 simple, but it is designed particularly well to manage easily short-handed, and is notably different to most other monohulls, particularly in layout. It’s also a design typically chosen so far by ‘downscalers’, as Pegasus co-founder Miha Breskvar describes them – those who’ve previously had larger yachts and become put off by their complexity or need for crew.

If you find the Pegasus 50 design faintly reminiscent, it’s from the hand of Marko Paš, who (with J&J) was responsible for developing the Shipman carbon cruiser designs around 20 years ago. You might notice influences in the Pegasus’s superstructures, cockpit and galley layout.

The Pegasus 50 is a powerful-looking yacht. The large coachroof runs into the arch and hardtop dodger protecting the deep cockpit. The general layout is also quite different, making you question assumed needs. For instance, in my house the kitchen and living room are larger than my bedroom, and rightly so I feel, yet that’s rarely the case on today’s yachts which typically have suites for master cabins.

Here, the Pegasus gives the bigger proportion of space to the cockpit, saloon and galley, and boasts a superb amount of stowage space – prime considerations for bluewater cruising .

The Pegasus 50 has an individual look, and despite the practicality of the hard dodger it won’t appeal to all. Equally, the pinhead mainsail and raked stem seem a little old-fashioned now, but ocean cruisers may prefer the practical gains here over current style fads.

I was taken with the design from when it first came to light in 2020 and have waited some time to sail it in testing conditions. In the end the two days and nights we had aboard in March were benign, with calm seas and light winds. I was about to add ‘unfortunately’ there, but what if such a yacht, with its easily managed sail plan, pilot station and capacious stowage, a design that ticks so many boxes for long-term cruising, could also deliver engaging sailing in such conditions. What if…

Armed for light wind

On both mornings, we left Izola’s marina once the first ripples began to disturb the glassy Adriatic. I found docking and manoeuvring simple, intuitive, and reassuring, while setting and handling sails is easily done from the cockpit. You quickly reach an engaging sailing mode. The enjoyment levels obviously rise with the breeze, but even in the lighter single-figure winds the Pegasus has the sail power and slipperiness to make the experience rewarding.

Power reaching. Mainsheet is out of harm’s way on the roof and lines are led aft – this means lots of line tails to manage, but there are useful deep bins below the benches and helm seats. Photo: Samo Vidic

We averaged 6 knots in 8-8.5 with the genoa, tacking through 80-85°. But we predominantly sailed with the Code 0 in these conditions for the best speeds and enjoyment, as it helped us to almost match the single-figure winds fetching. The Pegasus 50 really comes alive once the breeze is into double figures, where we averaged 8.5-9 knots in 12-13 knots.

Not that you want or have to watch the numbers. Helming is a pleasure, with only a finger needed on the wheel. The twin rudders give plenty of control and the feeling is direct, thanks to minimal steering linkage (a marked difference over most centre cockpit designs). This Jefa system connects quadrants with a rod, so if you lose steering on one side you can use the other. It’s also light work for an autopilot.

Amel 50 review: An indoor sailing experience to excite even hardened sailors

Amel has a long established following for yachts designed and built to match the needs of liveaboard and bluewater cruisers.…

XC47 review: is this the best bluewater cruiser ever?

We’re close-hauled in 7-10 knots of true wind, making 6-6.5 knots of boat speed, with the helm beautifully balanced and…

We enjoyed beautiful, early spring sailing, largely to ourselves. Once the breeze nudges into the teens, you get a nice sprinkling of weather helm. I really enjoy helming right from the aft quarters – granted it may be different with a large following sea, and I would rather not sit next to a loaded snatch block and aft winch.

That said, it’s easy enough to lead the sheets to the winches in front of the wheels. There are blind spots from here, but you learn to move around to check sightlines (plus the navstation has a view out over the foredeck). Adding the cushions to the helm seats also helps by providing some elevation. These cockpit cushions are a good fit and comfortable.

The sail plan provides plenty of choice to get the most out of the boat, and to reduce sail most effectively and efficiently. As standard, the Pegasus 50 comes with main, staysail, genoa, and even a gennaker, while most choose a Code sail too. The self-tacking staysail is particularly useful when the wind is up, and can fill the slot between the main and reaching sail.

The Pegasus is well set up for short-handing. Indeed, the owner of the third hull sailed it solo in the Ostar – which he won – before he then sailed around Africa, the wrong way, alone! We tested hull number six, which was 14 months old and had already sailed 10,000 miles.

Secret weapon?

A reason for feeling like it was sailing on rails comes from what’s beneath the Pegasus 50’s hull. Paš favours a tandem keel with twin centreline fins connected by a bulb, which he calculates gives better directional stability, and less wetted surface for a low centre of gravity. He found it helps reduce leeway and brings better performance for its weight, while allowing the twin rudders to be kept relatively small.

A fixed 600W hydrogenerator is sited slightly offset from this keel. Once sailing at over 7 knots you can hear it vibrating, but there is the comfort that it’s putting a healthy 7A+ at 24V into your battery bank. Pegasus also offers an electric hybrid option, with twin Oceanvolt 15kW drives (a €150,000 upgrade for the drives, genset, batteries, extra solar etc).

This brings us to pricing, a subject that deserves spotlighting. Unusually the standard price is for a phenomenally well-equipped boat, which includes the carbon mast, Hydranet sails, electric winches, solar, watermaker, induction cooking, washing machine, B&G instruments, a gimballed settee, and an electric telescopic table! That’s everything on the test boat except the Code 0. Rarely have I come across a yacht that offers so much included in the price – around €200,000 of typical ‘options’.

“If you are using the boat as much as our clients do, you want to have all this stuff included,” Breskvar reasons, adding how it makes more sense to install it all from the outset, including the associated electric and plumbing runs. Keep scanning the specs list and you’ll note the dinghy and its Torqeedo outboard, bed linen, cutlery and crockery, tools, a vacuum cleaner etc are all included. It also helps you appreciate how all the stowage spaces have been optimised so this kit doesn’t fly around at sea.

Comfort on passage

The Pegasus 50 is designed for passagemaking in comfort and safety. The ease with which you can get around the boat is notable. The protected cockpit is superb, with a big fixed table and seats with proper high backrests. It links via a sliding door to the interior, which includes a pilot station and that gimballing settee to reduce fatigue.

The arch is in full composite, made in one piece. The fabric central bimini section rolls away, cabriolet style, and the windscreen includes sliding glass sections for ventilation. Pegasus also has a solid bimini version, which incorporates extra solar panels (716W as standard on the coachroof) and a Starlink marine antenna – a consideration most large/super yachts still don’t have designed in. The cockpit can also be fully enclosed to keep cushions dry.

Remembering there is no accommodation space aft or below the cockpit helps you appreciate the abundant stowage that the deep technical cockpit lockers bring These are intelligibly laid out with electrics to starboard, including AC and DC distribution, genverter etc, and plumbing such as watermaker, pumps and compressors to port.

The philosophy here is that easy access promotes proper maintenance. It also keeps the engine and all noisy items well insulated away from the interior.

Light and airy interior. Photo: Samo Vidic

These lockers have long rails for hanging warps and fenders and they also include large panels into the engine bay which, combined with the cockpit hatch (the table hinges out of the way aft), provides almost unhindered access to the engine and genset.

Pegasus has conceived neat solutions aft, using the composite gangplank as an aft bench to enclose the top of the transom. The aft winches double up well as mooring winches for getting tension on stern lines. And, when lowered via a simple purchase system, the large swim platform also helps you appreciate the long, low single-level cockpit. The garage can fit a 2.5m inflatable dinghy and is separated from the technical lockers by a watertight bulkhead.

Windows are all in tempered glass, including the offset companionway door which features a safety lock for when heeling and helps keep the cockpit connected with the interior. Here, the layout is refreshingly different, with the accommodation all forward of the saloon’s main bulkhead in two or three cabins.

I like the U-shape galley configuration and its stainless steel finish which makes so much sense on a yacht. It’s only one step down, at eye level to those seated in the cockpit. There’s plenty of natural light, plus ventilation through the large sliding door. Should you run out of worksurface, you can hinge the pilot seat forward to reveal more, above an extra fridge or freezer.

Practical stainless steel finish to the galley. Photo: Samo Vidic

I also appreciate the practicality of the stowage, including the bespoke cutlery drawers and the crockery and glassware cabinets. Opposite, the saloon is light and bright.

While a gimballing settee may seem gimmicky, the concept grew on me. As it’s all in carbon it only weighs 40kg and uses an electric actuator on a ram so there is little extra complexity. At the push of a button it cants 10° either way, which could make a difference to those who get seasick or are spending days on one tack. The table lowers to fill in, the outboard backrest then folds over to fill this section and create a massive bed. The result is a great den – indeed our photographer, Samo, confirmed that his kids happily played cards there while they sailed in 30 knots.

The gloss panel at the forward end of the saloon is like a car’s dashboard, with a smart Simarine switchboard hidden beneath. The surrounding leather stitching is a bold style feature –the upholstery and veneers are all customisable to a certain extent.

Accommodation is comparatively compact but practical in the owner’s cabin. Photo: Samo Vidic

A different view

The pilot station works brilliantly. A 27in screen in the navstation shows B&G data, doubles as a computer display, and has a swivel mount for use as a TV that you can view from the saloon. The seat gives a prime protected place to sit a night watch with views over the foredeck, but can also be used for chart or office work. And with an angled cushion as a backrest, you can sit side-on to rest or converse with those in the saloon or galley. There is a hatch above for ventilation and viewing sails, and a deep pilotbook shelf outboard.

Although just two shallow steps down, it feels comparatively low and slightly cramped going forward. The accommodation starts with an ideal pilotberth to port. The headboard for this and the master cabin to starboard are in line with the mast base, in the heart of the yacht and area of least pitching. Stowage here is excellent, but headroom is only around 6ft 1in.

Pullman bunks can be chosen here instead, or the space given over to a two-cabin version, with a full beam central master cabin including a large shower compartment. In the three cabin/berth test boat, this master cabin can be configured as a twin or double, as the beds are on tracks so can be joined. However, it is of modest size and stowage is limited – long-term cruisers would need to use other areas for clothes too. The en-suite with its wet heads shower area also feels relatively compact in this format.

Excellent access to the well insulated engine bay through the cockpit sole and well laid-out technical lockers. Photo: Samo Vidic

While the passageway forward is seaworthy and boasts large lockers, it’s low and the doorways are narrow. To port is a shower, with washing machine and rail, which makes a useful space for wet hanging, but there’s no hatch so it’s dark and relies on a vent. The heads further forward is much brighter. Headroom then drops again in the forward cabin, where it’s more purposeful than luxe, with a V-berth and some stowage, but few frills.

The 50 has an impressive composite build, including Vinylester hull and PVC core, and with deck, inner structure and structural stiffeners all in carbon fibre.

The outer skin is in glass, which the yard considers less vulnerable and easier to repair. Weight is kept central and low including the tanks.

The hulls are laminated across the border in Italy, before being fitted out in Pegasus’s yard, one hour inland from Izola in the mountains. Building boats here is normal in Slovenia, says Breskvar, citing Elan and Seaway as examples. Thus far owners have come from all over the world with hull number 10 currently on its way to the US. A 66ft Pegasus is in engineering phase, again designed for short-handed use.

“We have no dealers, no brand presence, no history, and we’re Slovenian so we can’t compete if we just bring the same thing as everyone else”, thinks Breskvar, who, with Paš, is one of three partners who established Pegasus five years ago. “After 30 years of sailing this is the boat we built for ourselves – for comfortable, enjoyable cruising.”

I increasingly turn a keen eye to multihulls for their social and stowage spaces, yet here we have much of that. Stash the surfboards under the aft bench, sails in the forepeak, bikes and toys in the tech lockers and garage and off you go! The modest freeboard and layout reduces accommodation volume compared to many modern cruising yachts. And the Pegasus is still a lot of money – though a substantial amount is included for that price. Maybe, its bold colourways and detailing won’t be to everyone’s taste. But this is one of very few new boats I’ve stepped aboard that I’d be happy taking off cruising straight away. The P50 makes you feel comfortable and puts you at ease instantly. And, crucially, it’s rewarding, even in light breezes that other bluewater cruisers may struggle to sail in. It’s also easy to change through the gears, which you’ll need to do keenly with its generous sail area, and it has a superb cockpit to protect its crew. There’s a lot to get excited about – rarely have I thought about a yacht so much after a test sail. ‘Pegasus’ was named after the mythological horse with wings as it’s strong, durable and can take flight. Fitting, then, that photographer for the test, Samo Vidic, is a regular for Red Bull extreme sports – as this bright red bull we sailed proved, it can indeed give you wings.

Superyacht Pegasus II sold by Denison & Daves and YPI

Here's a sale I've been following for a while as a call to Ken Denison at Denison & Daves brings news that he's closed the deal on Oceanco's 60m motor yacht Pegasus II with Matt Albert at Yachting Partners International acting for the buyer.

Built in 2004, Pegasus II offers six suites for twelve guests, while the pool/spa, gym, theater/bar, two alfresco dining areas plus formal dining were all recently updated in 2009. Sunning and alfresco dining spaces have been added, and there's a large main saloon with piano plus the magnificent skylounge/bar which can be converted into a surround sound cinema with a 100” HD screen. Pegasus II is as functional as she is exquisite and her advanced stabilizers ensure stable conditions both under way and at anchor. Pegasus II was asking $65 million.

Is This the Yacht of the Future?

• By Yachting Staff
• November 24, 2023

The concept of 3D printing is not new when it comes to boat and yacht construction, but Project Pegasus —unveiled at the start of 2023 and now listed for sale with Denison Yachting—is a bold vision of how the technology could be used to create an entire superyacht.

Several years ago, we reported about ways that builders worldwide were already embracing 3D printing for everything from boat molds to parts. We also noted that the IYRS School of Technology and Trades was teaching students the basics of 3D printing, setting up a future where ideas could become reality as the technology matured.

Italian designer Jozeph Forakis says that time is now, and the team of people surrounding him on the idea is getting bigger. Forakis’ 288-foot Project Pegasus concept yacht would be the world’s first 3D-printed, solar-electric/hydrogen hybrid superyacht, with zero emissions and with a “Tree of Life” hydroponic garden for fresh food and air purification.

Article At-A-Glance

• The 288-foot Project Pegasus is a concept yacht that’s listed for sale with Denison Yachting.
• Project Pegasus would be the world’s first 3D-printed, solar-electric/hydrogen hybrid superyacht.
• The designer is Jozeph Forakis, who is based in Italy and known for his work with CL Yachts.
• Lateral Naval Architects in the United Kingdom also worked on Project Pegasus.

The Project Pegasus Vision

Forakis says his goal with Project Pegasus was to create a zero-emissions yacht that seems invisible in terms of design and environmental impact. He did not create the concept yacht as a design showpiece that never has a chance to be built. “All her core technologies are based on today’s reality,” he says. “It’s only a matter of time before all yachts are made this way. Today, together with Denison and Lateral, we embark on a journey to accelerate towards that future.”

An ‘Audacious Challenge’

James Roy, managing director at Lateral Naval Architects, calls Project Pegasus “an audacious challenge in the field of structural engineering, energy architecture and manufacturing.” In fact, everyone involved with the project says it’s on the bleeding edge of what’s achievable today. Alex G. Clarke, the broker who represents the project at Denison Yachting, says the concept “pushes the boundaries of what is possible.”

Clarke added: “The smart technology surrounding it—from fuel cells to hydroponics providing fresh air and food, to zero emission and the use of glass and solar panels—is very inspiring to me. I do feel this is more than a concept, and I would love to see a shipyard or owner get involved to help make her a reality.”

How the Team Came Together

Forakis gives special thanks to Marisa Ronchi and Ottaviiano Iacono of SuperyachtOne for believing in the Project Pegasus concept and introducing him to the sales broker, Clarke, at Denison Yachting. “We couldn’t ask for a better foundational team to bring this dream to reality,” Forakis says.

Clarke is no stranger to embracing big, visionary concepts. He was the sales broker who did Denison’s first $10 million-plus bitcoin deal , and, more recently, he’s been talking about ways that technology surrounding nonfungible tokens , or NFTs, might become useful within the superyacht industry.

In that context, 3D-printing a whole superyacht seems quite down-to-earth. The technology at least creates something that people can touch and feel.

The Project Pegasus Design

It was big news in 2019 when the University of Maine created the world’s largest 3D-printed boat: a 25-footer called 3Dirigo. That team set three world records: for the largest 3D-printed solid part, the largest 3D-printed boat and the largest 3D printer.

Designing a 288-foot yacht that could be built from similar technology less than five years later is no small feat, but that’s what Project Pegasus purports to be.

The Framework

Robotic 3D printing would be used to create a mesh framework for Project Pegasus, integrating the yacht’s hull and superstructure. Forakis says the result would be “an extraordinarily strong and lightweight structure that can be produced using less energy, material, waste, space and time compared to conventional construction.”

The superstructure would have multi-tiered glass wings that reflect the clouds and sky. At certain angles and in certain lighting conditions, the lattice framework of the 3D-printed structure would become visible.

According to Forakis, “The dramatic, triangulated structure allows light to penetrate all levels of the interior while framing the remarkable views in all directions.”

The Reality of Technology

The whole team involved with Project Pegasus says it’s possible to achieve the vision with technology that exists today, but there is no denying the fact that some of that technology may need a bit more time to develop in order to make the yacht a reality.

As Roy, with Lateral Naval Architects, says: “We look forward to exploring the boundaries of feasibility, technology readiness and how these can be accelerated.”

Is Jozeph Forakis for Real?

Sometimes, yacht designers create audacious concepts just to get noticed. They might draw a yacht that looks like a spiderweb, or that could transform into a plane or a submersible. Their ideas are often based on imagination and not necessarily grounded in reality.

Forakis is different. He’s known as a visionary designer, but he’s also spent the past few years affiliated with one of the most respected builders of bluewater, go-anywhere vessels: CL Yachts, a subsidiary of Cheoy Lee.

Partnership with CL Yachts

Forakis’ partnership with CL Yachts was announced in 2019, after the builder brought him aboard to act as creative director for its next generation of yacht designs. Forakis was put in charge of exteriors and interiors on the vessels, starting with the CLX96.

Even back then, Forakis was using language that tapped into a desire to push boundaries in ways that were new for the yachting industry. He chose the color orange for the new CL Yachts brand and went on to explain why: “I am very strategic when it comes to these things. In our research, we found that, in the world of yachting, there are many ‘me too’ boat designs and many ‘me too’ brands and colors. Orange is young and energetic, and rarely seen amongst yacht or other luxury brands. This is part of our ’blue ocean strategy’ to communicate a true alternative in the market with an alternative, authentic vision.”

Forakis’ Real-Life CLB80

Most recently, CL Yachts announced its CLB80, with interiors and exteriors by Forakis—yet again proving that the designer knows how to turn ideas into reality. The boat will fall in the builder’s lineup between the CLB72 and the flagship CLB88.

CL Yachts says the creative process included emphasizing onboard comfort, rather than focusing solely on raw performance.

And with this design, too, Forakis pushed boundaries. “One distinctive aspect that sets this model apart is the evolution of the unique stepped side windows,” the builder says. “These carefully crafted windows not only infuse a modern touch but also enhance visibility, allowing natural light to flood into the living spaces.”

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will it take to build Project Pegasus?

No timeframe has been established for construction, and, in some cases, the technology itself might have to be augmented before construction could begin.

Are hydroponics new on yachts?

At the scale of Project Pegasus, yes, but not in general. Some sailors have had hydroponic gardens aboard their yachts for years, to ensure the availability of fresh foods while cruising in remote destinations.

Is anyone building a zero-emissions yacht today?

Several companies are promoting these types of designs. One in-build version is the 226-foot Project Zero that Vitters is constructing in the Netherlands, with a sail plan that is projected to generate power equivalent to a modern wind turbine.

Does Jozeph Forakis, the designer of Project Pegasus, only design yachts?

Nope. He works in many spheres, including housewares, lighting and wearable tech.

Pegasus 50 Globe (DIESEL)

Pegasus Yachts, Pegasus 50 Globe Built 2025 / €1,250,000, + VAT

Broker’s Comments

We are proud to work with the team at Pegasus Yachts who are building a range of full carbon, fast cruising yachts with protected cockpit, deck saloon, carbon rig and intelligent engineering. They are perfect for small crews to cruise aboard and the sailing is rewarding. Access to all the machinery is easy for maintenance and they are full of good ideas and modern technology. They also have plenty of row away appeal.

Manufacturer’s Comments

Pegasus 50 is the best possible merge of comfort, safety, and simple and fast cruising. She is optimized for shorthanded long-distance sailing while she serves equally good for day cruising with family and friends. The Pegasus 50 is an owner-driven sailing yacht with a focus on simple sailing handling, easy and fast movement on seaway and maintenance simplicity.

Comfort & Safety: A main feature on-board the Pegasus 50 is the connection between cockpit and saloon. We wanted to make one united space. This is achieved by lowering cockpit and raising saloon floor levels. The vertical distance between two floors is three-step heights (around 60cm). Negative consequences? Sure! As cockpit moves down, it reduces standing height for aft cabins and above the saloon area arises a coach roof with 360 windows. No traditional aft cabins but one big connected cockpit-to-saloon area, with ample of light inside and horizon visibility. Instead of traditionally dividing spaces into the interior and relatively small cockpit area, the Pegasus 50 presents a big living area (half of the yacht length), where sailors can comfort themselves during sailing and stay visually connected. The Pegasus 50 is actually split into the living area (no matter if day or night) and two cabins area forward of the saloon. Reduced cockpit-to-saloon height smoothens communication with only two steps (five to seven in traditional yachts).

One might argue about having a low cockpit and safety at the following sea. With reason! However, we have developed additional washboards to be slid into place while at sea and even exceed the regulation height, thus more safety. The Pegasus 50 is with margin compliant to CE design category A – Ocean going vessel, with wind force exceeding 40 knots and significant wave height of 4m. Especially important for the safety of the Pegasus 50 is her ballast ratio and vanishing stability, which is significantly higher than comparable competitors.

Interior layouts consider conditions at sea and provide support for safe movements and comfortable seating and resting. Dedicated storage space in the galley for needed cutlery and throughout the yacht for food and other necessary equipment is carefully planned with inputs from ocean goers.

Experience from oceans supported with scientific investigations of seasickness and fatigue at sea show that best location to minimize yacht movement effects is at 1/3 yacht length from aft and as close to the vertical center of gravity. For this reason, the saloon settee is placed exactly at this location and bunks in cabins are on each side of the keel. Horizon visibility and natural ventilation are other important elements contributing to reducing seasickness and improving comfort. On long hauled legs it is proven with ocean racing yachts that sitting on levelled surfaces reduces fatigue and significantly improve comfort. For this reason, we have developed a lightweight, carbon gimballed saloon settee, which rotates along a longitudinal axis and compensates yacht heel. By installing this on a similar concept yacht, we recognized an extremely positive response from crew who were not sailing – where they could read and rest, prepare food while remaining levelled, and still with visual contact to cockpit and exterior.

Sailing around the world in the equatorial belt and Mediterranean requires good sun UV protection. Some areas require protection from rain and spray. For this reason, yachters are using all kind of dodgers, bimini covers and removable tents. So, why not integrate all these add-ons into an elegant streamlined rigid cockpit roof? A lightweight carbon roof connected to the mainsheet arch with a possibility to place solar panels on. A protective glass windshield and cockpit rooftop that opens like a soft cabriolet car roof when desired, but all remains in place and no additional storage needed. And, it’s really chic.

Shorthanded Sailing and Speed: Reducing stress factors and improving control onboard is one of the main elements of the wellbeing of the owner and his crew. There are no big steps possible nowadays – instead smaller details that would support sailing operations and make sailing in various conditions controllable. The Pegasus 50 has a modern, well-balanced and full ends hull, which would support reaching performance but would be safe and comfortable in heavy wind upwind conditions if needed due to her high ballast ratio. The mast is moved maximum aft as practical. This gives more sail area to easy furl-able headsails. The boom is shortened for a purpose: to have as smaller a load on the mainsheet arch as possible, for construction and weight reasons and to avoid the boom hitting waves while sailing wide open for sailing downwind. This can be dangerous for breaking the boom or boom gooseneck. It is planned to have a furling boom, but equally good would be a solid, oversized lazy bag. The mast has an extended mast crane to add mainsail area for light wind performance. Sail area is moderate, in connection to stability, optimized for 10-20 knots of wind. From 15 knots on a self-tacking J2 and the first reef would be a comfortable upwind configuration. Outer sheeting points for J1 will be used while reaching. At TWS 20 knots/100 TWA, with full main and J1, autopilot ON, she will be touching 12.5 knots yacht speed; her owner reading books and having cold drinks from the cockpit table fridge. Sitting in shadow with the wind in their hair, of course. Downwind sails, Code 0 and asymmetric gennaker will be furling, using modern endless furling systems with torque rope.

From previous projects, we had an extremely positive experience and feedback on the twin rudder’s configuration. Full control in all conditions, practically unable to broach. With the Pegasus 50 we wanted to improve directional stability to reduce autopilot activity underway. For this task and general VPP, we engaged long-time friend Giorgio Provinciali from the America’s Cup, currently optimizing flying (foiling) monohulls for the next America’s Cup edition. Ideal keel shape for speed compromises yachts’ longitudinal stability and lateral resistance in ports. The brief was to increase keel lateral area for zero speed resistance and increase directional stability while under speed but sacrificing as less speed as possible. In one email he came with a picture of an old New Zealand America’s Cup yacht with twin keel fins. After initial technical discussions, Giorgio checked route stability by computing the derivatives of yaw moment vs leeway (how much the keel unbalances the yacht when leeway changes) and it proved positive comparing to longer single fin keel. In the end, tandem keel brought other positive effects on design; better overall performance (smaller rudders), safer yacht to sail and lighter fin and hull construction. We have applied other elements on hull design like flat areas around rudder to prevent ventilation while at higher angles of attack.

Main elements for sailing yachts speed are total displacement, stability and its engine – sails. As we did not want to compromise comfort, safety and simplicity, by increasing sail area or reducing diesel and water capacity or equipment necessary for freedom at sea, we had to optimize construction to reduce weight. Using the latest production technologies and carbon materials combined with refined engineering methods resulted in light but sound and safe yacht construction. To achieve this, we paired with winning ocean racing designers and engineers.

The “Less is More” Principle: Designing the Pegasus 50 systems, maintenance and accessibility were in focus all the time as this gives additional value to the yacht. Not having aft cabins provided a unique opportunity to create a side-to-side technical room under the cockpit with engine and generator room in between. Portside water-related equipment and starboard side electrics and electronics. All equipment installed is visually and physically accessible for checks and replacements. The engine room, with access from technical rooms and from cockpit floor hatch, is double as usually insulated from the interior to reduce air born noise. All systems were carefully designed and re-thought in order to improve functionality but reduce the number of elements. Less is more: fewer parts, less potential mistakes, more freedom wherever you are. Beside systems designs, special attention was put to the selection of best materials existing on the market.

WHAT WE SAY

Broker's comments, oyster brokerage are delighted to announce 625-14 pegasus..

From the triple award winning Oyster 625 stable, hull number 14, Pegasus, launched in 2015 is a stunning example of the game changing model. Pioneering the triple ‘seascape’ saloon windows and benefitting from thousands of sea miles of blue water cruising experience by previous Oyster models. The Humphreys designed 625 is world conquering and stands out from the crowd in looks as well as practicality and sailing prowess.

Contemporary design below decks with innovative lighting solutions, makes the Oyster 625 a very attractive yacht to be aboard. Pegasus benefits from three huge double bed cabins and a bunk room, sleeping eight in four cabins. Limed Oak joinery with ‘raised grain effect’ sole boards gives the interior a very light and warm feel, accented by the off-white vinyl headlining with ‘corn’ insets.

Performance is guaranteed with the upgraded Formula carbon mast. Hydraulic in-mast furling along with hydraulic foresail furling allows for effortless sail control. The cutter rig giving all the options for blue water short-handed sailing.

Pegasus has a specification that makes her stand out. Hydraulic ‘built in’ passerelle, Hydronic heating, full air conditioning, ice maker, Watermaker to name a few. All beautifully maintained by a dedicated owner and skipper. Solely privately used with very few hours on the main engine and generator set.

Pegasus has been ranked as the fastest 625 in class 2 in the 2018 and 2019 Oyster Palma Regatta.

MIHA BRESKVAR

After graduating from mechanical engineering and completing my bachelor's degree at the Faculty of Computer and Information Science, I continued my formal education at IEDC Business School, where I got my MBA degree.

My career started in a development team of the system for online stock exchange trading at brokerage company CBPD. Later on, I worked for Lexpera, where I was responsible for the technical and business development of one of the best legal information system IUS-INFO.

In 2013 I started my own business as a co-founder, partner, and CEO of FrodX d.o.o. – a company that consults and technically supports the biggest companies worldwide to help them grow their revenues online, such as Canon, SAP, Microsoft, Velux, Addiko Bank, Generali, Fraport, etc.

As well as helping companies to sell the way their customers want to buy, sailing is an important part of my life. During my student years, I built a racing boat with which my team and I won dozens of regattas. While making more than several thousand of nautical miles on various sailboats, I've gained a lot of valuable nautic and life lessons and experience. I've used my sailing knowledge, skills, and experience to teach more than 500 people how to sail, from 2018 I'm using them as a partner of Pegasus Yachts in order to build a modern blue water cruiser, Pegasus 50.

Dr. ERNST THOMKE

I have been sailing for 50 years, during which time I have owned 4 yachts. The first of these, I built myself and the others I commissioned, and they were built to my specific requirement. These proved to be successful and close to what I needed, but the Pegasus is the first to fulfil all my needs and expectations.

Pegasus enables me to cross oceans single-handed or with a crew of friends and always feel safe, comfortable and exhilarated.

Pegasus 50 most significant difference is the concept – a bluewater sailing yacht with a well-protected covered cockpit, 360-degree vision in the saloon and gimballed saloon sofa, and double insulation for the engine, which is sited away from the living and sleeping areas of the yacht. She also provides safe movement for her crew with only a few steps and good access to well-proven equipment that is easily maintained.
