Latest News
We arrived in Grenada in late Jan after a very pleasant transat. We didn't push it and took 18 days from Gran Canaria. Our last transat of 16 days was more of a "Lets see what we can do" sort of time, but with 45000 miles behind us its sometimes just nice to have a speed where one can read a book with out having to be too preoccupied with oncoming weather. We stayed in Grenada after the Regatta for about a month and then headed up the islands via Antigua and Barbuda to St Martin for the Heineken regatta. On to the BVI after the party in St Martin and back to Barbuda and Antigua for the start of the Classics...all great fun. We headed out of Antigua before things really started to hot up as we had family arriving in Bequia early May. After a fabulous 10 days we are now headed back to Grenada slowly for the Wet season and whatever that may have to offer.
 
About Us
We are a family of four who have spent the last 4 years on board Pegasus as we have sailed around the world and had many amazing adventures. We have now completed our circumnavigation that saw us sail from Norfolk Virginia, down the Inter-coastal waterway, over to the Bahamas and back to England. We left the UK again after a 6 weeks stop and headed to the Caribbean via the Canaries. Heading West, we had Christmas 2008 in Grenada, and pushed on to Panama via Cartagenia and the San Blas islands. April 2009 saw us through the Panama Canal and on to Australia via the Marquesas, Tuamotu's, Society's, N Cooks, Tonga, Fiji and New Caledonia. Christmas 2010 was spent in Sydney and we pushed South via the Bass Straight and West to Perth via the Great Australian Bight. Cruising up the West coast saw us in Shark bay and through the Ningaloo reef and on to Darwin via the Kimberley. In July 2010 we headed up to Indonesia and had a wild Christmas 2010 in Phuket Thailand. Leaving early in the new year we headed to Sri Lanka and on to the Maldives where Amanda and the Boys flew back to the UK while i sailed Pegasus up to Port Ghalib in Egypt via Aden. After a whirlwind trip through the Mediterranean we arrived back in Cowes, Isle of Wight in August 2011. After a month or so we headed to the Canaries for a refit and after flying back to the UK for Christmas 2011 we sailed over to Grenada in the Caribbean again. We have spent the last 5 months cruising the Islands and now intend to spend the wet season in Grenada. Having done our significant milage PEGASUS is now for sale and our remarkable platform for adventure and family life is now available to the market for the first time in 5 years.

The Boat
Pegasus is a Chris White designed Atlantic 46 built in New Hampshire and launched in 1997. See http://www.chriswhitedesigns.com/atlantic_cats/a46/ There were only a few A46 built and now i believe that Pegasus is one of just 2 or 3 still around. The A42 came next and was a popular semi production boat being named cruising boat of the year at some stage. The A48's, A55's and A57's have become very popular, but they start at a compleatly different price bracket! .
