Chamberlin Reggis Lightweight, Performance Cruising Catamaran


Private Sale | Re-Birthed 2019/2020 | Major Upgrades Through 2024/25

Offered for private sale is this well-maintained Chamberlin Regis 38, a lightweight Australian-built performance cruising catamaran that is genuinely enjoyable to sail. She is fast, responsive, and confidence-inspiring, with solid construction (strip plank cedar hulls) and practical systems suited to real cruising.

The boat was professionally re-birthed in 2019/20, stripped back and rebuilt with longevity and self-sufficiency in mind. Work included full repaint in durable 2-Pac, new rigging, sails, windows, electronics, upholstery, and major system upgrades. The structure is strong and sound, reflecting the quality Chamberlin builds are known for. In 2022 a bowsprit/prodder was added for a furling Screecher which makes light wind sailing fast and easy.

She sails exceptionally well, with daggerboards for strong upwind performance and a good range of sail options to suit varying conditions (Fully Battened Main with 3 reef points, Inner Jib, Genoa, Screecher and an Asymmetrical Spinnaker in sock). Kick-up rudders and lifting dagger boards make shallow-water cruising easy, while retractable twin 25hp Yamaha high-thrust fuel-injected outboards provide reliable propulsion upto 9knots when needed.

Recent upgrades and maintenance since 2024 include:
o All running rigging replaced
o New antifoul March 2025 (Micron Extra 2)
o Engines fully serviced February 2025
o New throttle and gear cables August 2025
o New steering lines
o New anchor chain
o New navigation lights
o New 400Ah of Victron Lifpo4 batteries November 2024
o New Victron MultiPlus inverter/charger
o New Victron DC-DC charger and solar charge controllers

The interior is bright and practical, with two queen cabins and ample storage. The third cabin is currently set up as a walk-in pantry, ideal for extended cruising, and can easily be converted back to a berth. Comfort features include excellent refrigeration and freezer capacity, watermaker, washing machine, full-size shower, hydronic heating throughout, and strong solar/wind power generation.

This is not a floating apartment-- it's a proper sailing catamaran that rewards active sailing and careful ownership. A great option for someone wanting a fast, capable, and well-sorted boat without the compromises of heavier production cats.

Please contact me for any questions or to arrange an inspection - We will be sailing the qld east coast throughout 2026 if still available. Currently located in Ballina NSW.
