Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Windy 52 Xanthos 2006 vs Windy Chinook 46 2017 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Windy 52 Xanthos 2006 vs Windy Chinook 46 2017 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Windy 52 Xanthos 2006 is rated for 15 passengers, while the Windy Chinook 46 2017 caps at 14. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Windy 52 Xanthos 2006 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Windy 52 Xanthos 2006 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 15 passengers and at 52,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Windy Chinook 46 2017 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 14 that costs less to run day-to-day.
