The Pegasus 50 is a modern fractional sloop designed by Marko Pas and built by Pegasus Yachts (SLO), with production records indicating a start year of 2020. This vessel represents a contemporary approach to performance cruising, featuring a displacement of 27116.86 lb and a beam of 15.85 ft, though the total hulls built count remains unspecified in current data.
- Best for:
- This boat suits performance-oriented coastal cruisers and short-to-medium range bluewater travelers who prioritize sailing dynamics and modern amenities, as evidenced by the high prevalence of solar panel installations (26 mentions) and watermakers (16 mentions).
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 2.11 and a robust displacement of 27116.86 lb, the Pegasus 50 demonstrates strong offshore stability, though potential keel smile issues (39 mentions) require careful structural verification for serious bluewater use.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other modern European performance cruisers from the same era that offer similar fractional sloop rigs and high sail area-to-displacement ratios (24.67), such as the Beneteau Figaro or Nauticat models, which also emphasize speed and interior volume.
