Philippe
Kahn, internationally known competitor in boats ranging from dinghies to
maxi sleds, picked Alan Andrews Yacht Design to design his latest Pegasus.
We worked with Philippe developing Pegasus 55 to fit his requirements for
a light, fast, strong, comfortable boat that would fill the multiple
roles of weekend vacation apartment, family day sailor, offshore racer and
still be single-handed. All sail controls lead to the cockpit where an
electric halyard winch assists in raising the main and sheeting the self tacking jib. Safety features include three watertight
bulkheads, decks devoid of toe stubbing hardware and convenient handholds
above and below deck. Pegasus 55 is constructed with America's Cup level
laminate technology of pre-preg carbon fiber over a combination of nomex
honeycomb and SuperLite balsa cores to keep performance top notch while
encompassing the best in cruising amenities. Accommodations include fore
and aft staterooms in addition to a large main cabin. Galley and
navigation station are centrally located and include full cruising
amenities.
