An expedition class boat in the truest sense of the word. Pegasus will take you to places other sailboats cannot dream to go – and will do so safely without having to worry about the winds that would keep other boats at home.

Pegasus is design # 507 from the board of MacLear & Harris. Her lines were done by Spyros Garbis and Dave Gerr. She is a “whale belly” hull typical of later mono-hull sailing vessels from that firm. Sporting 11 tons of lead ballast poured into her keel, Pegasus sails upright in conditions up to, and beyond storm force winds.

Pegasus is a single-stick “schooner” rig,. Her LWL is 36 ft, LOD 45 ft, Beam at sheer 13 ft, draft 4’ 6”. She has fore and aft centerboards, allowing her 4’6” draft to be extended to 9 feet.

The pilot house along with all of the vessel is insulated to keep you warm on the coldest of days. The aft cabin is huge. Forward and down from the pilot house is the main dining area with two quarter berths. Forward of the main dining area and through a set of watertight doors is the galley area on the starboard side and the head with shower on the port side. Continuing forward is the v-berth area with emergency access and large storage.

Pegasus was built as a USCG inspected vessel. Her wiring is USCG approved double insulated, copper, multi-strand wiring sized for a maximum 3% voltage drop across each circuit. Her plumbing is USCG approved reinforced hose or schedule 80 CPVC or aluminum piping, with glass reinforced seacocks. Her propellor shaft tube is lined with CPVC pipe, interference fitted. Her pipe thru-hulls are lined with delrin tube, interference fitted. This attention to detail, is evident throughout her construction. After more than 100,000 miles underway, Pegasus retains full and complete functionality.

Pegasus is a one-of-a-kind vessel. She was built to explore and find out the beauty of the seas. She is not for every sailor – but for the sailors who want to go where no one else will go – Pegasus will get them there.
