As I recall, there was no Wave Class and Hobie didn't want anything to do with starting a Wave Racing class. It was Rick and Mary who hosted the first Wave Nationals, and they got several Hobie Dealers to comit to charter some new Waves, and then sell them after the first Nationals at a discount to get the class going.

Unless Rick/Mary or someone else do the same for the Getaway, I doubt there will ever be a true racing class for it, but as was said, if you have one, bring it to any Hobie regatta and they will let you race...if you are a Hobie Class member I guess.
