While I'm sure that you'll blow by your buddies in their lasers and opti's.....
The getaway was never meant as a screamer.... I rented one once and took my little sister and her little friend out for a spin in 10-15mph breezes. While it was fun, it certainly wont win any cat-on-cat races and the girls happened to like it. (if you value the opinions of 13 year old girls.)
I had no problem controlling the boat singlehandedly (I sail a 17 sport by myself with a jib) and the wings aren't really wings, but more like a pole that you have to balance on. My boney butt was not the most comfy on those hard things.
