Based on the Bristol Channel Pilot Cutters, Pegasus is a hardy, weatherly vessel, and very quick! They were built to be handled by a tight crew of often just young lads. What better basis for an exciting Sail Training vessel? If you are interested in bringing a group for a real sailing adventure, call Amy for a chat about your ideas, 0785 585 2282 or 01392 256 142.

For our summer holiday guests, Pegasus will safely and swiftly sail to some of the most beautiful, rugged, remote spots in Brittany, Normandy, The Channel Islands, The Isles of Scilly, Cornwall, Pembrokeshire, Devon and further afield for many, many years to come.
