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.

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.

More about the 50 GT

The Pegasus 50 design and engineering represents the result of experience gained in previous projects, optimised for shorthanded, blue water sailing with the emphasis on safety, simplicity of use, comfort on board and reduced cost of ownership.

Pegasus 50 project is blend of real life on-board experiences received from owners, crew and service teams, crossing oceans with similar to Pegasus 50 yachts.

Pegasus Yachts is a Slovenian shipyard known for its production of ocean-going sailboats. The engineering and business experts behind Pegasus have years of experience in sailing, industrial design, naval architecture as well as product and project management. Our team has completed more than 160 projects for prominent world-series builders, 10 of those projects have won European Yacht of the Year Awards and more than 50 other national Boat of the Year Awards. More than 10,000 yachts have been produced as a result of these projects including Shipman Carbon Yachts, the world's first series carbon construction performance cruisers. We gained priceless experience directly from Shipman owners cruising in the most remote places worldwide, and the Shipman fleet has circumnavigated the globe a total of 36 times. We are working in close collaboration with leading naval architects and hydrodynamic specialists from current America's Cup and ocean racing, as well as exterior and interior designers and stylists, structural specialists and the best industry suppliers. The Pegasus 50 concept, design, and engineering represent the result of experience gained in previous projects.

Safety is Pegasus' key feature. This consists of design solutions, like the covered, well protected cockpit, substantial stanchions and 360° view from the saloon. We have selected equipment that is well proven and reliable from trusted suppliers for easy maintenance and simple repair. These simple solutions provide easy and safe shorthanded handling. Sailing Pegasus is safe in all weather conditions, with any crew and on every ocean.

Spend two or three weeks on anchorages around your favourite island, with total independence. The Pegasus 50 has the tankage, refrigeration and power to free you of the need to return to base for further supplies.

"At TWS 22 knots/ 100 TWA, with full main and J1, autopilot ON, she will be touching 12.5 knots boat speed while Her end Him reading books and having cold drinks from cockpit table fridge." comment from the designer

Comfort on board is all about the view, light, quietness and ergonomics! The saloon with a 360° view is designed for pleasant sailing and the horizon is always visible to prevent sea-sickness. The sleeping cabins are far from the noise and vibration insulated engine and technical area. The Saloon and cabins are positioned as close to the centre of movement for minimum jaw, pitch and roll, whilst at sea. The hard top sprayhood protects the cockpit from the elements and the stern provides a private beach with easy access to the sea. Moving through the boat is easy thanks to the one-level, seamlessly connected cockpit and saloon, so forget about climbing steep companionway steps. There is a special bonus: a gimballed mechanism that keeps the saloon sofa in a horizontal position even when the boat is heeled.

"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. All of these proved to be successful and close to what I needed, but the Pegasus will be the first that is able to fulfill all my needs and expectations totally.

Her easy handling, together with safety and comfort at sea, mean that she even exceeds the capability of my last yacht, the 63' cutter HAGAZUSSA, in which we circumnavigated the globe.

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

The biggest difference in Pegasus is the concept - a blue water 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 as well as good access to well proven equipment that is easily maintained.

I am looking forward to taking her to sea.

Dr. Ernst Thomke"

YACHT-Test : Pegasus 50: das komplette Blauwasserpaket aus Slowenien

Michael Good

 ·  10.04.2021

Die Marke Pegasus Yachts gibt es noch nicht lange. Ein Schiff vom Typ Pegasus 50 ist fertig, ein zweites befindet sich in der Fertigstellung, ein drittes ist im Bau. Die Werft in Slowenien hat ein eher ungewöhnliches Konzept ausgearbeitet. Die Idee: ein Schiff für die große Blauwasserreise, kompromisslos komplett und umfangreich ausgestattet mit allem, was es dafür braucht – das Rundum-Sorglos-Paket für Abenteuerlustige.

Die Pegasus 50 ist aber nicht nur bereits ab Werft ultimativ seeklar, sondern überrascht zudem mit einer ganzen Reihe von pfiffigen Besonderheiten und Innovationen. Zum Beispiel die schwenkbare Sitzgruppe im Salon, mit der sich unterwegs die Krängung vom Boot kompensieren lässt. Der Plan für den Innenausbau erinnert an das bekannte Konzept der ehemaligen Sense-Reihe von Beneteau. Heißt: Wohnausbau nur vorn im Schiff, Technik dafür ausnahmslos hinten.

Den ausführlichen Testbericht zur Pegasus 50 aus Slowenien gibt es zum Nachlesen in der YACHT, Ausgabe 7/2021. Das Heft ist im DK-Shop (hier klicken) erhältlich, kann direkt hier digital (hier klicken) bestellt werden, oder Sie laden sich den Test direkt über den Link unten herunter.

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.

About the Airport

Pegasus Airlines connects Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport with various flights from different places in the world. Sabiha Gökçen International Airport is one of the two main airports of the city. It is located on the Asian part and within easy reach from the center.

Sabiha Gokcen International Airport

Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen International Airport is named after the first female fighter pilot in the world, Sabiha Gokcen who died in 2001. The airport became operational the same year.  It is situated at Pendik which is about 40 km away from Kadikoy and 50 km away from Taksim. The airport terminal incorporates many facilities, including ticket sale offices on the departures floor for both domestic and international flights. The total passenger capacity of the airport has been increased up to 41 million after the recent inclusion of new domestic terminal.

Transport from Sabiha Gokcen International Airport to the City Center

The airport is accessed by car, public transport, taxi or shuttles. There are multiple public transport options including the metro and public bus that operate between various destinations. The timetables and bus routes can be reached online.

İstanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport metro, which was opened on 2 October 2022, is one of the most convenient ways to reach the İstanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport. This metro line is a part of the Kadıköy-Tavşantepe metro line, which was extended to the airport with four more stops.

Passengers can reach the İstanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport metro line from central metro connection points such as Kadıköy and Taksim.

• Passengers from Kadıköy can take the Kadıköy-Tavşantepe metro line from the first stop.
• Passengers from the European side can take the metrobus line and transfer to Kadıköy-Tavşantepe at Ünalan.
• The other option for transfer for the passengers from the European side is to take the Marmaray line and transfer to Kadıköy-Tavşantepe from the Ayrılıkçeşmesi stop.
• Additionally, there is a connection stop at Kurtköy from where the passengers can transfer to the Üsküdar-Çekmeköy metro line.

These connection stops make it easy to reach İstanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport without spending much time in traffic.

Bus E-3 operates between Sabiha Gokcen Airport and 4th Levent. Number E-9 departs from Bostanci, E-10,  E-11 and SG-1 connects Kadikoy to the Airport. You can get to Taksim by taking SG-2 line. It is also possible to get to the airport by using Kadikoy-Tavsantepe Metro line. You have to get off at Soganlik stop and take one of the 16-S or E-10 buses. Since the metro is extended from Kartal to Tavsantepe, you can also get to the airport by taking a taxi from Pendik stop at the metro.

If you are coming from the European side, you should take the Marmaray from the nearest station (Kazlıçeşme, Yenikapı, Sirkeci) to cross to the Anatolian side and get off at the Ayrılık Çeşmesi stop, then follow the path described above.

Havabus shuttle operates from Sabiha Gokcen Airport to various points in Kadikoy and Taksim. They provide service from 03.30 am to 01.00 am. Havabus routes and departure  times are available online.
