Remarks:
Owned by the vendor since 2021 and kept on the Norfolk Broads, this Pegasus 800 yacht has previously been based both on the East Coast and also Scotland making her well set up for coastal cruising and inland waterways.
A well equipped vessel, 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 offers great sailing performance and ample room for family cruising and extended stays on board – with this example understood to be in very good condition..
