I Didn’t Want to Love This Boat

📘 If you want to understand what actually makes a great offshore boat, Chapter 2 of my book breaks it down clearly and honestly: 👉 https://www.bethecaptain.com If you want to understand what modern offshore sailboat design looks like when it’s done right, this is a boat worth paying attention to. The Pegasus 50 isn’t flashy. It’s not trying to win boat shows. And it’s not chasing the marina-condo crowd. Instead, it’s a quietly serious offshore sailboat—designed around balance, redundancy, real sailing loads, and long-term ownership. In this video, I walk through the Pegasus 50 in detail: • Hull and deck design • Cockpit layout and sail handling • Interior ergonomics and sea berths • Systems access and real-world serviceability • What this boat gets right—and who it’s actually for This isn’t a sales pitch or a dockside walkthrough. It’s an honest evaluation of a modern offshore cruiser from the perspective of someone who actually sails offshore. If you’re shopping for a serious bluewater boat—or trying to understand what separates good design from marketing—this one’s worth your time.
