I am in the same boat you are, so to speak. I have a 5.8 I use for family sailing but I also have a H14 for solo sailing because I can put the mast up solo at a boat ramp and and right the boat easily. I keep getting mixed answers about solo righting the Getaway so I am leaning toward the Wave to replace my H14. It is difficult to find people who have sailed the H14 and Wave to get a real comparison. The Wave seems light enough to launch solo and right easily but might be a slug to sail. I am hoping to do a test sail soon.
