Regina af Vindö 43 is deck saloon yachts built to the highest standards by Regina af Vindö in Henån, Orust, Sweden. It is a deck saloon yacht with splashes of a pilot house thrown in, as the nav station provides excellent view forward and with the autopilot control here, standing watch inside in the full comfort is a definite possibility.
This Regina 43 from 2004 is to our knowledge the only 43 with blue stripes instead of the traditional burgundy stripes. The second owner now sells a boat that he acquired in 2018. The boat has always been stored and serviced indoors during winter, in the current ownership with Fantasi Yachts in Källviken and Munkeby on the Swedish west coast. AS an aside, Fantasi Yachts are famous for having built another top class deck saloon yacht, the Fantasi 44 :)
This first owner replaced the original slab reefing mainsail mast with a Seldén Furlin mast in 2012. The granny bars that were in place originally is still in place for any on deck work around the mast also in heavier weather. The current owner has upgraded the electrical system in this Furlin mast with the 48V system, improving basically everything in this very comfortable solution.
The boat is setup with a self tacking jib and and a genanser/cruising chute on a furler. In combination with the furling main system, this provides a very manageable yacht to sail short handed. Additionally, the winches in the cockpit are electric.
Down below there is a three cabin layout, with an additional cabin tucked in under the decksaloon seating area. The owners cabin is spacious and is found aft in the boat. This master cabin has a heads and separate shower ensuite.
The main guest cabin is found up front and can be configured as two berths or as a double with a small inlay. Adjacent to this cabin the second toilet is found.
A few steps down from the deck saloon area, the galley and second seating area is found. Saying that the galley is spacious for a 43-footer sounds a bit like an understatement. Double sinks and double fridges as well as acres of work space.
All in all a blue-water cruiser built to the highest standards to be enjoyed anywhere in the world by a crew of two with guests. The flexibility of the third sleeping cabin adds an extra level of flexibility.
