Designed by Tony Castro and built by Jeanneau starting in 1982, this 39-footer represents the French builder's foray into performance-oriented cruising during the early 1980s. Castro's design philosophy shines through in the boat's balanced proportions, featuring a fin keel with spade rudder configuration that delivers responsive handling while maintaining cruising practicality. At 39.17 feet overall with a 30.42-foot waterline, the Regatta 39 Mh strikes an appealing balance between performance and comfort. Her substantial 5,200-pound ballast and moderate displacement of 10,600 pounds create a stable platform suitable for both spirited coastal sailing and offshore passages. The masthead sloop rig carries 610 square feet of sail area, providing adequate power without being overwhelming for a small crew. With a comfort ratio of 17.01, this boat leans toward the performance end of the spectrum while still offering reasonable accommodations for extended cruising. The capsize screening formula of 2.29 suggests good offshore capability, though careful seamanship remains essential in challenging conditions. Her hull speed of 7.39 knots and SA/Displacement ratio of 20.3 indicate lively sailing characteristics that will satisfy sailors seeking both adventure and comfort in a proven fiberglass platform.
