Designed by Tony Castro and launched in 1982, this 39-footer represents Jeanneau's entry into the performance cruising market during the early 1980s boom. The Regatta 39 strikes a compelling balance between spirited sailing performance and practical cruising capabilities, making it well-suited for coastal adventures and weekend racing alike. Castro's design philosophy shines through in the boat's hull form, featuring a fin keel with spade rudder configuration that delivers responsive handling and solid upwind performance. The fractional sloop rig provides excellent sail handling characteristics, while the generous sail area of 647 square feet ensures good light-air performance. With a displacement of 10,600 pounds and a beam of 12.58 feet, the boat offers stability without sacrificing speed potential. The Regatta 39's moderate comfort ratio of 17.01 suggests it leans toward the performance end of the spectrum while maintaining reasonable accommodations for extended cruising. Its capsize screening formula of 2.29 indicates good offshore capability, though it's primarily at home in coastal waters where its blend of speed and comfort truly excels. Jeanneau's fiberglass construction ensures durability, while the design's proven track record over four decades speaks to its enduring appeal among sailors seeking both performance and practicality.
