Meet Pegasus: The High-tech Electric Foiler Taking Yacht Toys to Dizzying 30-knot Speeds
Step aside electric surfboards, the world of superyacht toys has a new speed demon. Meet Pegasus, a single-seating, all-electric foiling marvel styled after 1960's Formula One cars!
Superyacht toys have been taken to a new level with the innovation of Pegasus, an all-electric foiling craft that combines the thrill of high-performance sailing with the intuitive handling of a bicycle. Developed by Finnish start-up Foil.One, this impressive single-seater is constructed entirely of carbon fibre, capable of reaching incredible speeds up to 30 knots while gliding effortlessly above the water.
The secret behind its user-friendly design lies in a unique foiling set-up, integrating steering, balance, and ride height into one intuitive mechanism. Imagine handles like those on a bicycle - or, indeed, a rowing eight - and you've got the idea. This design makes steering as easy as biking, with balance quickly mastered.
But that's not all. The Pegasus is powered by a modest yet potent 10kW electric motor linked to a slender propeller-running shaft, promising silent propulsion through the water. The craft includes two 5kWh Torqeedo batteries, promising up to an hour of full-throttle fun.
In short, Pegasus redefines the realm of yacht toys, offering limitless fun punctuated with adrenaline-pumping speed. With just a few lessons, anyone can reach their 'need for speed' in a safe and exhilarating manner. So, grab your life jacket and hitch a ride on Pegasus' wings!

What this means on the water
This story matters only if it helps sailors, owners, clubs, marinas and readers make better decisions afloat or ashore. The new point should be the named event, result, boat, notice, place or change in the report above, not the shine around it. Old Sea Dogs treats press releases and organiser statements as a starting point, then looks for the practical detail: dates, entry rules, berthing, costs, crew impact, safety notes and what readers should check next. What remains uncertain is the usual waterfront mix of weather, final notices, availability, pricing and how a claim holds up once people arrive. Use this piece as a pointer, then check the linked source before making plans.
