PEGASUS is a race ready NY 36. Some New York YC members engaged Naval Architect Bill Cook to design a boat for one design racing among members and also be competitive in handicap racing under the IOR. The NEW YORK 36 raced as a class on the annual NYYC Cruise throughout much of the 80's. A number were also sold to non members, especially on the west coast, where class racing took place for a few years. Specs are from original William Cook drawing.

The Schock New York 36 (NY-36) is well suited to the kind of sailing you find on San Francisco Bay - strong afternoon wind, short steep chop, and competitive club racing. It was designed as an IOR racer with a powerful sail plan and relatively light displacement, giving it lively performance.
