The Cockpit
In addition to the above-mentioned transom storage, lockers on the bow provide dedicated space for more lines and fenders, and cover the windlass and ground tackle when not in use. The sun pad on the foredeck features a unique support mechanism that lifts the top half to form a backrest, like a giant chez-lounge. The bow is accessed through a hinged center windshield panel, with steps molded in next to the helm to make it an easy climb up to the windshield. To the left of the helm, the semi-circular settee offers plenty of storage beneath, including custom chocks for the dining table when it is not in use. This storage area can also be accessed from the cockpit, and includes fishing rod storage tubes that keep hooks away from other gear. On the starboard side just aft of the helm, the wet bar features a sink, refrigerator with icemaker, concealed tip-out trash bin, and a storage locker fitted with shelves and fiddles to organize items inside.

All the way aft, a long bench seat folds into the transom - completely out of the way when activities require extra cockpit space. There are additional lockers in the cockpit sides, and steps molded in to facilitate boarding from a high dock. The swim platform includes pull-up cleats (in addition to the stout cleats on the transom corners) that allows a choice of how stern lines are secured so they won’t interfere when stepping onto the swim platform from a low dock. The transom storage locker mentioned earlier is accessed from the swim platform, and utilize a clever hinge design that raises the locker door up and out of the way. On our test boat, the gas lifts on this mechanism were not strong enough, making the door a bit heavy and creating the potential to bite small fingers.

The Engine
For engine room access, the whole back deck lifts electrically, but in contrast to most boats the opening faces aft. This offers the advantage of keeping greasy mechanics, parts, and tools out of the cockpit. One disadvantage is the slight possibility of a wave tumbling into the engine room hatch if it must be opened while offshore in heavy seas. The aft opening hatch makes the engines more accessible, and the engine room is spacious and offers above-average access to all equipment.

Down Below
On the 3760 all of the bed inserts have dedicated storage. In the main saloon, the settee seat lifts to reveal a permanently mounted extension. At bedtime, the whole thing hinges out in one piece with legs that fold down for support. In the morning, lift up the seat and flip it back under. The aft cabin insert works in a similar fashion, although it is mounted on sliding rails rather than hinges.

The aft cabin, nestled beneath the helm,  The aft cabin includes storage lockers and a place for additional storage

On the port side just inside the companionway, the galley refrigerator is mounted at eye level where its contents can be seen, with large drawers beneath for easy access storage. The galley also includes a two-burner stove, microwave, coffee maker, and a tip out trash can. Regal even provides dishes and flatware with dedicated, secure storage.

Several other thoughtful interior items include a recliner built into the saloon settee, deep, dry storage tubs beneath the saloon floor, and a space-saving pocket door between the saloon and forward stateroom. The forward bed is set diagonally, which makes better use of available space. The head is divided by a Plexiglas door into two compartments - one with the vanity and dry storage, the other with the commode, shower, and wet storage.

Performance
While this boat has big-boat spaciousness and accommodations, it definitely performs like a smaller, sportier boat. Powered with twin D-4 Diesel, 260 horsepower Volvo engines, this boat cruises comfortably at 28 knots and burns about 20 gallons an hour.  Cruising at 8 knots to take in the scenery you’ll find this boat to be as stingy on fuel as a single engine NW trawler.  With fuel capacity over 260 gallons you won’t need to refill at every dock you pass.
