Description

Aragosa 38 Cruiser
Regina II was purchased in September 1990 by the original and current owner. It was built by Aragosa Yachts Inc. of Toronto Ontario Canada and designed by Ted Brewer as a modern sloop in every respect of styling, rig hull shape and construction.

The tall masthead, rig spreads, good sail area and with her low wetted surface she will slide along easily in light airs.

In strong breezes, her long waterline will provide good potential speed while the moderate displacement and powerful hull will help her stand up to the weather and move out nicely.

The construction is kept as light as possible while adhering to the American Bureau of Shipping Standards for offshore class A. A very fair hull is assured by the use of closely spaced longitudinal on transverse framing. Canadian registered but EU VAT paid.

Electrics & Electronics

Batteries :
2 banks of 2 each : 105 AMP service free batteries (purchased in 2005) :
- magnetic breaker for anchor winch
- magnetic breaker for : > Starting motor
> Accessory panel
- 2 explosion proof selector switches which allow for the use of either bank or both for either starting motor or accessory panel or both
Electrical Panel :
AC : wired for both 110V & 220V (however only the 110V is redistributed via
designated panel breakers to appropriate areas / if 220V shore power is used it
will feed via the 220V main breaker the 3x220V plugs as well as the transformer/
transducer which will feed the 110V AC panel outlets; but at 50 NOT 60 cycles!)
Meters : AC Volt ( from transformer ) / AC AMP usage
DC : - 3 x 8 12V breakers ( various amperages )
- Battery condition meter
- AMPS consumed
- AMPS charged via alternator
- AMPS charged via Wind Generator (disconnected)
- Gages : Starboard fuel tank/Port fuel tank/Starboard water tank/Holding tank
Inverter : from 12V to 110V / 250 W / 60Hz
Battery charger : Professional Mariner Promatic 40-3 ( currently wired for 110V feed )
Wind generator : Aero4Gen LVM412 with voltage regulator (not connected )
Dump resistor : (not connected)
