2020 Regal 42 Fly "Wanderlust"

Wanderlust — 2020 Regal 42 Flybridge

The Regal 42 Flybridge represents the flagship of Regal’s cruiser lineup — a boat designed from the ground up for serious cruising comfort without sacrificing performance or style. Twin Volvo Penta IPS pod drives deliver a quieter, more fuel-efficient, and more maneuverable platform than traditional shaft-drive competitors in this size range, and the 42 Fly’s two-stateroom, two-head layout with a full-beam salon and dedicated flybridge makes it equally at home on a weekend getaway or an extended coastal passage.

Wanderlust is fitted with Volvo Penta IPS 600 diesels, a dual Garmin 8616xsv chartplotter package, Dometic air conditioning on both decks, an 11kW Kohler generator, and a 25 GPH Dometic watermaker already installed, this boat is fully outfitted and ready to go. For a buyer who wants a fully equipped cruiser without the new-boat premium, Wanderlust deserves a very close look.

Propulsion & Handling

Wanderlust is powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS 600 D6-440D-G diesels — 5.52-liter, six-cylinder marine diesels producing 435 horsepower each at 3,500 RPM. Mated to Volvo Penta IPS10 gearboxes at a 1.85:1 ratio, each drive turns two pairs of counter-rotating three- and four-blade Volvo Penta propellers. The IPS pod drive configuration places the propellers forward of the drive unit in a pulling position, delivering measurably better fuel efficiency, reduced underwater noise, and a significantly lower cabin noise floor compared to traditional shaft-drive installations. Bennett hydraulic trim tabs with AutoTrim Pro control optimize running attitude automatically across varying sea conditions.
