The Pegasus 800 stands as a quintessential British cruiser-racer from the late 1970s and 1980s, representing the pinnacle of Gordon Harris’s design work at Rydgeway Marine. Born from the demand for a versatile, family-oriented yacht that could handle both the choppy coastal waters of the United Kingdom and the shallow navigations of the Norfolk Broads, the 800 achieved a balance of volume and performance that remains impressive decades later. Production ran from approximately 1977 until Rydgeway Marine's closure in 1991, with nearly 400 hulls completed. It was designed to bridge the gap between the smaller Pandora series and larger coastal cruisers, offering full standing headroom and a seaworthy hull form that could be configured with several keel arrangements to suit local sailing conditions.
