PEGASUS is a well-equipped Hallberg-Rassy 49, one of the great Scandinavian bluewater cruising designs and a model long admired for its seakindly motion, serious offshore construction, generous storage, and comfortable long-range accommodations. Designed by Olle Enderlein and Christoph Rassy and built by Hallberg-Rassy in Sweden, the 49 combines a traditional offshore underbody, a protected center-cockpit layout, and the brand's unmistakable flush-deck profile into a yacht built for passagemaking rather than dockside showmanship.
The Hallberg-Rassy 49 is a true world-cruising platform, with substantial displacement, encapsulated lead ballast, a protected rudder arrangement, a secure cockpit, and deep interior volume that makes her practical for extended time aboard. PEGASUS adds meaningful recent updates, including a 2016 Yanmar 110 hp diesel, Doyle sails from 2016, Raymarine navigation electronics, a custom hardtop, Starlink, a 2023 Vari Prop, updated refrigeration, new Dometic freshwater heads, and a 2022 tender package.
For the buyer looking for a proven, comfortable, classic bluewater cruiser under 50 feet, PEGASUS represents a compelling opportunity. She offers the space and feel of a proper ocean-going yacht, the practicality of systems already upgraded for modern cruising, and the timeless Hallberg-Rassy qualities of strength, safety, and livability that continue to make these yachts respected by serious sailors worldwide.

BROKER’S COMMENTS
PEGASUS is exactly the sort of yacht that keeps Hallberg-Rassy at the front of conversations about serious bluewater cruising. The 49 is substantial without being unmanageable, traditional without feeling impractical, and built with the kind of sea-going purpose that appeals to sailors who understand what matters offshore: stability, storage, systems access, comfort at sea, and a protected cockpit.
This particular PEGASUS benefits from meaningful updates to her engine, sails, electronics, communications, refrigeration, heads, batteries, propeller, hardtop, and tender package. She is not a minimalist coastal cruiser; she is a proper offshore yacht with the displacement, accommodations, and equipment profile to support extended passagemaking, liveaboard cruising, and serious coastal or island use.
For buyers considering traditional bluewater yachts from builders such as Hylas, Oyster, Tayana, Little Harbor, or other respected offshore marques, PEGASUS deserves careful attention. The Hallberg-Rassy 49 remains one of the iconic long-range cruisers of its era, and PEGASUS is offered at a compelling price point with a strong list of practical cruising upgrades.
