The Southern Wind SW94 Aragon 2013 vs Southern Wind SW94 Lady G 2015 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Southern Wind SW94 Aragon 2013 at 93,9 ft versus Southern Wind SW94 Lady G 2015 at 93,9 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Southern Wind SW94 Aragon 2013 tips the scales at 116 845 lbs — 375 lbs more than the Southern Wind SW94 Lady G 2015 at 116 470 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 270 hp for the Southern Wind SW94 Aragon 2013 and 270 hp for the Southern Wind SW94 Lady G 2015. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup.

Both boats are rated for 28 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.

Both boats sit in a similar displacement bracket — 116 845 lbs for the Southern Wind SW94 Aragon 2013 and 116 470 lbs for the Southern Wind SW94 Lady G 2015. Comparable displacement means broadly similar seakeeping behaviour and load capacity, though hull form and ballast ratio will still produce noticeably different sailing characteristics.

Both boats draw a similar depth — 14,7 ft and 14,7 ft respectively. Marina access and anchorage options should be broadly equivalent between the two.

Sailboat comparisons often come down to details that specs don't fully capture — the quality of the standing rigging, the layout of the cockpit, and how the boat feels on a beat in 20 knots. A sea trial on both is strongly recommended.
