Pegasus 166 and mint condition Boson sails

Post by pegasus »

The time has come to pass on Peggy 166 i am due to go to uni soon and have not found the time to sail her this season, i have raced her often in the past and can be very competitive though never in my hands! :roll:

Its a lovely boat to sail the controls are very light and she always draws attention, it has a trapeze and convsional spinnaker with no shoot (as they were designed) ill be very said to see this go but i dont want it to sit in storage for 4 years.

Loads of people have seen this boat its a great club racer with a handicap the same as a laser it great fun and a handicap bandit

She was fully rebuilt in 2004 i think, she is believed to have a Mauroder 14 mast and possibly sails to, these i am told are very close to the correct size for the boat
She has a 505 kite which is HUGE i think its too big to use unless u are very confident i was told this is the correct size or very close to, but im not so sure alot of people agree that it is right and alot more say its not!

She is quite well know in the cvrda and has raced often at one point was being raced more than once a week,

She has a full set of rigging plus a brand new set of Albacore (edit boson) sails White which have only be used once the jib from the albacore is not really any use though, there is also a set of used red sails these have been used to race with and are fine but abit wore

The boat is ready to sail and comes with a 2year old mast up cover and combi trailer with new tyres

I would prefer to sell to someone on here but will list it else where in a few weeks

im open to offers on what you think its worth.

EDIT: the white sails are boson sails not albacore, i will split for the right price

Can I make a suggestion. Go back into ebay and edit your listing. Change your first picture ie the gallery one into one of the boat sailing - take the one of the Fleet which you have in the list and crop the image and then put it as the gallery picture. You have a nice boat but it's not so impressive with a cover on. First impressions and all that!! All the best with the sale.

That's much better!! A picture speaks a thousand words and the pictures you have in the listing ar ereally good but the first impression is important. I have tried to sell stuff on ebay and got no response. The re-listing was in the same category but described slightly differently with another photo and I got loads of bids - weird but I guess that's why occasionally there are ebay bargains - an item which doesn't catch the eye or appeal to a wide audience.

There is probably a PhD thesis in there somewhere. If people see a picture of it sailing they imagine themselves sailing it. Wierd but true :).

Quick up date:

The Pegasus gone its going to be used as a club boat at Fratton park sc (thames) they have ents and Gps for club boats also, so should be well looked after, was a sad day seeing it go but hopefully ill see it again in the future

I do still have the boson sails if anyone is interested they are taking up space at the new house so am willing to let them go for a reasonable amount they are like new.
