REGINA 43

A beautifully crafted deck saloon yacht sub 15m is a rare commodity and highly sought after, the choice is limited. Regina yachts where a bit of a well-kept secret. Being built in Sweden you would be correct in thinking this leads to all of the desirable attributes Swedish yachts enjoy; beautifully moulded sea kindly hull, lead keel and of course a lesson in cabinetry below decks. ARKYLA is a late example from 2008. Purchased by the second and current owner in 2018 via Berthon International, we know her well. She then spent several years cruising more locally and preparing for an Atlantic circuit. Updates to sails, electronics, and systems in general. Having now completed a successful cruise taking in the western Mediterranean, the ARC+ (via Cape Verde) and a spell in the Caribbean, she completed this with the passage back to the UK via the Azores. One of three Regina’s we have seen recently, she will prove popular, so early viewing is recommended.
