Sailing Yacht: Pegasus 700 Bilge Keel

"Kestrel II" is a very well-equipped family yacht, fitted with a Tohatsu 9.8 sail drive outboard (new in July 2017) and is ready to sail away. She is great fun, safe and sails smoothly offering a stable, gentle ride as well as being speedy and manoeuvrable. All lines have been fed back to the cockpit making sailing single or shorthanded easy. The bilge-keel allows her to be kept on low cost drying moorings and with a shallow draft, 0.95 metres, she is great for exploring small creeks and shallower waters and well as confidently making longer coastal trips. These yachts have good sailing performance as well as good accommodation, offering 4 berths, 2 in a separate front cabin and 2 in the main cabin.The hull has a Coppercoat which means no annual antifouling is required.She is fitted with an A-Frame mechanism, which allows the mast to be lowered without the need for external heavy lifting equipment.She is currently ashore at Langstone, so can be easily inspected/surveyed, by appointment.I can help with delivery, by sea, to locations in the Solent area (subject to dates).Also, worth reading is the RightBoat review: https://www.rightboat.com/blog/pegasus-700SpecificationsLength overall: 23ft 4in (7.11m)Beam overall: 8ft 2in (2.49m)Displacement: 1.43 tons (1299kg)Draft Twin and Fin: 3ft 1in (0.94m) Engine:TOHATSU MFS9.8 L SAIL 9.8HP Long shaft, High Thrust, Manual Start, Tiller 4-Stroke Outboard with 12 litre fuel tank and alternator battery charging.New purchase in July 2017.Note: From 1st April 2017 all Tohatsu manufactured outboards sold for pleasure use have a 7-year warranty.
