42' Regal 42 Sport Coupe Express Cruiser

Vessel Overview and Information

Highlights aboard Do-Over are plentiful, including that swim platform, which had no problem accommodating six people, a large cooler full of lobster, or dinghy. The 42 is highly attuned to her purpose as a daytime cruiser. An aft removable settee provides a second entrance to the platform, while an adjacent convertible sunpad provided an excellent place for anyone onboard to work on their tans. Also, it’s worth noting that the cockpit and saloon soles are flush—no small feat on a 42-footer—making the boat’s main entertainment space easy to navigate even at speed.

The foredeck is accessible by way of the easily maneuverable side decks and through a convenient walk-through panel in the middle of the windshield. The foredeck is particularly recessed and flat and girded by a waist-high railing so a mate can always feel secure when working lines. Three deep storage compartments are below the deck, one of which holds a handy, standard 25-foot hose for easy cleaning of the boat’s forward section.

The 42’s accommodations deck is turned out mostly in cherry and granite and has a very homey, comfortable feel to it. A master in the bow is appointed with a queen-size berth, which is laid slightly askew to make for more walkaround space. However what I found most impressive was the VIP stateroom aft, which featured athwartships twin berths that can be connected via inserts to make one large berth. 

 When under way, most passengers prefer to remain topside, where they can see the sights and socialize. The 42 Sport Coupe supports this preference with low engine sound levels, generously sized windows and a single-level deck plan that creates a common social area from helm to the transom bench seat. There’s access to the swim pad from both port and starboard corners, while filler cushions can be added to turn the aft lounge into a conversation pit or alfresco dining area. An on-deck refrigerator, ice maker and electric grill transform the aft end into a summer kitchen with a view, while the transom shower and various storage lockers accessible from the large swim platform give the boat added potential to support water sports like diving or snorkeling. 

With the full-width sunroof rolled back and the center section of the windshield open, passengers enjoy plenty of fresh air and easy access to the bow sun lounge. But should the weather turn nasty, it takes less than 30 seconds to turn the upper deck into a weatherproof, climate controlled shelter. For further weatherproofing, owners have the option of a cockpit canvas package, or even a rigid aft bulkhead that fully encloses the upper deck.

A central hatch provides fast access to the engine room, where I had no problem reaching vital systems, including the seacocks and filters. For complete access to diesels and drives, the center section of the deck raises on an electric ram to reveal a tidy mechanical space where everything is bonded, labeled and chafe-protected.

The single fuel tank sits on centerline, and almost exactly at the hull’s center of gravity. Batteries and mechanical systems such as the genset, water heater and air-conditioner compressor are also positioned to maintain a balanced running attitude, and the benefits of this careful planning became obvious during a test run!
