Cosa tratta questo video
The Pegasus 50 is a 15-meter performance cruising sailboat designed for weight reduction and simplified handling in offshore conditions.2:34 The vessel features a 13-ton displacement, a 33% ballast ratio, and a symmetric hull shape intended to maintain stability and safety when heeling.4:59 Structural features include a reinforced arch for the mainsheet traveler, dual rudders connected by a fixed rod, and composite bulkheads laminated to the hull and deck.9:36 The interior layout prioritizes human-centered design, incorporating a gimbaling salon table that tilts 11 degrees, a longitudinal dinghy garage, and a lowered cockpit that improves visual contact with the salon.7:43 Standard equipment includes two independent electric linear-drive autopilots and Torqeedo electric outboards.13:53 While the flat hull design may struggle during sustained upwind passages, the boat is engineered for speed and ease of use in trade-wind sailing.28:05 A Pegasus 50 recently completed a 7,468-mile non-stop passage from Valencia to Cape Town, encountering 30-knot winds and 5-meter seas.24:06
