The Regina af Vindö 35 is equipped with a fin keel. The fin keel is the most common keel and provides splendid manoeuvrability. The downside is that it has less directional stability than a long keel.
The keel is made of lead. Compared with iron, lead has the advantage of being 44% heavier, which allows a smaller keel and hence less water resistance and higher speed.
The boat can enter most marinas as the draft is just about 1.60 - 1.70 meter (5.25 - 5.55 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.
Regina af Vindö 35 is typically equipped with an inboard Volvo Penta D2-40 diesel engine at 39.0 hp (29 kW), which gives a max speed about 6.8 knots.
The fuel tank has a capacity of 175.0 liters (46 US gallons, 38 imperial gallons).
