Aragon is a 28.65 m sailing yacht built by Southern Wind in 2013 (refitted 2019), for 7 guests in 4 cabins with 4 crew. Charter from €50,000 per week in summer (Norway & Sweden and Northern Europe & Baltic); in winter from €50,000 (Norway & Sweden and Northern Europe & Baltic), plus expenses.
A light, fast Reichel-Pugh sloop with a regatta record, now sailing the Norwegian coast: a boat for a small group that wants to sail properly, not just be carried.
Aragon was launched in 2013 as Windfall, a Southern Wind 94 with a hull by Reichel-Pugh, the office better known for grand prix racing yachts. At about 51 tonnes she is very light for 28 metres, and she was built to move in a Mediterranean zephyr rather than wait for a breeze. The race results back this up: she has taken first places on the big-boat circuit, and one of those trophies came from St Barth in the Caribbean. Nauta designed the interior, so below decks she is a comfortable cruiser rather than a stripped-out racer.
The twist is where she sails now. Her central agent lists her in Norway, with Bergen, Stavanger and the Lofoten Islands as starting points. That changes the character of a week completely. Instead of hopping between beach bars, you sail along fjords with steep walls on either side, anchor below waterfalls, and enjoy long northern evenings when the light barely fades in midsummer. A responsive boat makes the most of the variable winds along that coast.
She suits a small group of up to seven, ideally with at least one or two people who enjoy taking the helm or trimming a sail and are curious about how a modern performance yacht feels. Four crew run the boat, and the atmosphere is informal. Couples sailing with friends, or a family with teenagers who like to be involved, will get the most from her.
Who is she not for? Anyone hoping for a motor yacht's volume or a big toy list. She is a sailing boat first, which means some heel, a cockpit as the main living space and limited room for gear. Norway also asks for warm layers and a tolerance for rain on some days. If your idea of a week afloat is sunbathing in thirty degrees, the Mediterranean or the Caribbean will serve you better.
