Owned by the vendor for approximately 18 months, and now for sale due to the purchase of another vessel (in Brittany, France), this Pegasus 800 yacht was previously based on the East Coast at Woodbridge/River Deben, and prior to that, in Scotland. Well maintained and well equipped, she boasts a number of non-standard upgrades such as a Y-frame for mast lowering/raising and hot water via a calorifier, plus she has been re-engined with a modern, fuel efficient Volvo diesel unit. The Pegasus 800 is an ideal yacht for both Broads and coastal sailing, offering great sailing performance and ample room for family cruising and extended stays on board – and this is a particularly well presented example.
