Remarks:
A really lovely example of the ever popular Pegasus 800! This yacht’s interior fit out was home completed to a high standard by her first owner, resulting in a very attractive interior with many pleasing design features not seen in factory finished examples. Kept locally at Oulton Broad by the first owner, she subsequently cruised from Fambridge, Essex, for 17 years before being returned to the Broads by her third and current owner. She is now for sale to make way for a motor launch – the vendor still having access to two other sail boats! She has sailed out of Wroxham for the past four seasons, both cruising and racing, and throughout this time the vendor has found it completely unnecessary to use the lifting centreboard as the fixed keel (centreboard housing), with it’s draft of 0.9m (2ft 11in), has provided entirely satisfactory performance under all circumstances in the shallow waters of the Broads.
