Hello Everybody;



I have been dinghy sailing for quite a few years now (Lasers, CL 16) and am quite interested in the Hobie Getaway. I like the fact that it can be sailed solo, is higher out of the water than a Hobie 16, and has a more manageable sail plan than the Hobie 18.



I know that the dealers are going to tell me that the Hobie Getaway is a dream boat for a guy like me and yadda yadda yadda. But I'd like to hear thoughts from you experienced catamaran sailors. Would the Hobie Getaway be a good boat for a first time catamaran owner?

Thanks in advance for all your input.
