Size is the first divide here: 12.20 m LOA on the Windy SR40 against 9.40 m on the Axopar 29 Sun Top.

The Axopar 29 Sun Top is the quicker boat, 50 knots to 42. Drivetrains differ: the Axopar 29 Sun Top runs outboard, the Windy SR40 shaft.

Net of the spec sheet it is a trade: the Windy SR40 is the bigger platform, the Axopar 29 Sun Top the quicker one. Garage envelope and the missions the boat has to cover should settle it.

The full spec table is below; the gold dot marks the leading value in each row.
