2008 Hunter 50 CC

Pegasus is a highly upgraded center cockpit Hunter 50 which was designed for comfort both down below and on deck. With 6'8" of headroom even the tallest crew member will be able to walk through the interior without being inconvenienced. Pegasus is excellent for sailors who plan to spend time aboard for weekends, living aboard, or cruising the world. The current owners sailed deep into the Pacific and cruised the Mexican waters.

The interior provides a large after master cabin with plenty of room, a large sleeping bed, sitting area, and storage for the world cruising couple.

The forward cabin has a separate head and shower between the berths and salon.

The cockpit is enclosed by a hardtop and plastic enclosure for comfort and visibility. A custom designed cockpit hard dodger was installed with grab rails for safety and hatches for visibility.

Wide side decks provide ease of movement going forward or aft. Tall life lines are solid stainless steel for ultimate protection while sailing

The stern shape makes entering from the stern from a dinghy or the dock an easy task.

Pegasus is equipped with a self steering system which makes long distance cruising less rigorous and demanding on the crew.

Aft lockers are spacious and plentiful to store water toys and gear.

Access to the engine is excellent. The deep bilge with dual pumps is well engineered for the safety conscious owner.

A deep locker forward provides ample storage for sails and other gear.

Below the waterline, hull construction is solid glass, and there are layers of Kevlar from the keel forward for collision protection.

On deck the 50CC carries the trademark Hunter stainless steel arch and traveler above the wheel. A double ended mainsheet leads to an electric winch and to another on the cabin top.

Pegasus is powered with the B&R (Bergstrom & Ridder) rig whose swept-back spreaders eliminate the need for a backstay.

Under power you will be pushed along comfortably at 8 knots by the 110 horsepower Yanmar diesel engine. The bow thruster makes maneuvering in tight areas much easier.

Under sail Pegasus provides ample sail area to sail well in all weather conditions.
