About the Regina 49

Built by Swedish yard Regina Af Vindö Yachts starting in 2000, this Carl Beyer-designed 49-footer represents thoughtful Scandinavian cruising yacht philosophy with performance potential. The substantial 44,092-pound displacement combined with a moderate comfort ratio of 42.67 positions this boat as a capable offshore cruiser that won't sacrifice comfort for speed. The masthead sloop rig delivers a healthy sail area of 1,248 square feet, while the fin keel and spade rudder configuration provides responsive handling characteristics. With a capsize screening formula of 1.66, the Regina 49 falls within accepted parameters for offshore sailing, making it suitable for serious coastal cruising and ocean passages. The GRP construction with balsa core sandwich offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio while providing good insulation properties. At nearly 43 feet on the waterline, the hull achieves a theoretical maximum speed of 8.78 knots under sail. The generous beam of 14.63 feet translates to spacious accommodations below, while the 6.56-foot draft suggests good windward ability. A substantial 100-horsepower engine provides reliable auxiliary power for challenging conditions or tight marina maneuvering. This design appeals to sailors seeking a well-built European cruiser capable of extended voyaging.

Performance Ratios
SA/Displacement Sail Area to Displacement ratio measures how much sail power a boat has relative to its weight. Higher values mean more performance and speed.
Under 14 — Heavy cruiser, slow14–18 — Cruising sailboat18–22 — Cruiser/racerOver 22 — Performance racer
16.08
Ballast/Displacement Ballast to Displacement ratio shows what percentage of the boat's total weight is ballast. Higher values generally mean better initial stability and stiffer sail carrying.
30–35% — Typical cruiser35–45% — Stiff performance boatOver 45% — Racing oriented
32.3
Displacement/Length Displacement to Length ratio measures how heavy a boat is relative to its waterline length. Lower values mean a lighter, faster boat.
Under 100 — Ultralight racer100–200 — Light cruiser/racer200–300 — Moderate cruiser300–400 — Heavy cruiserOver 400 — Very heavy
247.92
Comfort Ratio Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio predicts how comfortable a boat will feel in offshore conditions. Higher values mean a steadier, more comfortable motion in a seaway.
Under 20 — Uncomfortably rough20–30 — Acceptable coastal30–40 — Good offshore comfortOver 40 — Very comfortable offshore
42.67
Capsize Screening Formula The USHS Capsize Screening Formula estimates offshore capsize risk. Lower is safer — values under 2.0 are considered acceptable for offshore sailing.
Under 2.0 — Safe for offshore2.0–2.2 — Borderline offshoreOver 2.2 — Coastal use recommended
1.66
Hull Speed Hull Speed is the theoretical maximum speed of a displacement hull, calculated from waterline length. Most cruising sailboats reach this speed in moderate conditions. 8.78 kn
Pounds/Inch Immersion Pounds per Inch Immersion (PPI) tells you how much weight is needed to sink the boat one inch. Useful for calculating how additional gear and stores affect waterline. 2,246.76 pounds/inch
