I have worked several years as a catsailing instructor and we did many batchlor parties and company outings. I have often sailed Nacras, Prindles and Hobie with several adults and also kids on board. Did you ?

Actually...yes I have. But back to my question phrased a bit more simply. Have you ever sailed a Getaway? One word would would be a fine answer.

I like you Wouter, you're fun.

Now, just for reference. Here is a pic of myself and 5 friends going for a leisurely sail. If you look on the outside the wind is in the upper teens and you can tell that the girls are all soaking as we were sailing at a pretty good clip. At no point did I feel in danger or overpowered on the Getaway. The boat is under control, sails well and is very forgiving perfect for noobs. The wings add a bit of safety, as they act as a sort of lifeline. This is where the Getaway is such a great boat in big water with a bunch of passengers. There's a lot of real estate. As Mary has said the Wave is simpler and easy to rig. Either way, you'll love getting your kids on the water.

And to anyone that thinks that the Getaway doesn't have a place. I'll say that I've probably sold more of them than any other model in the 10 years I've been doing this. They definitely fill a niche.
