About the Pegasus 50 Sailboat

Slovenian builder Pegasus Yachts introduced this sophisticated 50-footer in 2020, showcasing designer Marko Pas's vision for a high-performance cruising yacht that doesn't compromise on comfort. The composite construction incorporates carbon fiber reinforcement, creating a strong yet lightweight platform that enhances both speed and efficiency under sail. The Pegasus 50's fractional sloop rig and generous sail area of nearly 1,386 square feet deliver impressive performance, with a sail-area-to-displacement ratio of 24.67 indicating genuine sailing ability in light to moderate conditions. The innovative tandem keel configuration provides excellent stability and tracking while maintaining reasonable draft for coastal cruising flexibility. Built for serious offshore sailing, this yacht strikes an appealing balance between performance and comfort. The low comfort ratio of 22.42 suggests a sportier motion that active sailors will appreciate, while the capsize screening value of 2.11 confirms solid offshore capability. With a theoretical hull speed exceeding 9 knots and robust 75-horsepower auxiliary power, the Pegasus 50 handles diverse sailing conditions with confidence. The yacht's substantial ballast-to-displacement ratio ensures powerful stability, making it well-suited for extended cruising, ocean passages, and spirited coastal sailing where performance matters as much as comfort.
