The Pegasus is a powerful and fast two person racing and cruising dinghy designed by Uffa Fox in 1958.
It was notable for being a boat capable of being built at home using marine ply but still with an efficient and aesthetically pleasing round bilged hull form.
The boat has a narrow bow entry and a planing hull, and it carries a mainsail, a jib, and a large symmetric spinnaker.
Stability is achieved with a trapeze allowing this relatively narrow boat by modern standards to carry a large sail plan.
Approximately 250 Pegasus's were constructed, some all wooden and many in composite construction from GRP hulls and marine ply decks and buoyancy tanks.
