Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Windy Boats SR44 delivers a steady 32 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Windy Boats SR52 with an impressive cruising speed of 40 knots. The Windy Boats SR44 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed, catering to a different set of priorities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Itama 45RS, with the slowest cruising speed of 29 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Wajer Wajer 55 HT impresses with its extensive range of 450 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Sunreef Yachts 40 Open Sunreef Power, Formula Boats 40 and Vanquish Yachts VQ45 Veloce all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Windy Boats SR52 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 46 knots and cruising speed of 40 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Windy SR44 stands out with notable features and design elements. These yachts cater to a wide range of preferences and needs, making the choice a matter of personal taste and specific requirements in the world of luxury yachting.

When considering a new (or indeed used) yacht, it’s certainly important to wonder about the alternatives in the Windy Boats SR Sports Line range or indeed its competitors. Browse our hand-picked selection of 15 competing models.
