Remarks

This Pegasus 800's interior fit out was home completed to a high standard by her first owner, resulting in a very attractive interior with many bespoke design features not ordinarily 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 in c.2019. Both the vendor and previous owners have found it completely unnecessary to use the lifting centreboard as the fixed keel (centreboard housing), with it's draft of just 0.9m (2ft 11in), has provided entirely satisfactory performance under all circumstances in the shallow waters of the Broads. For sale due to the vendor's imminent relocation.
