I have owned and sailed a Getaway for about 2.5 months now. Love it!!! It is my first boat to own and I had sailed a H16 around 6 times before (pitchpoling 3 of them). Reasons I bought the getaway: 1) can fit 6 people comfortably (w/o wings) 2) sets up in 15-25 min 3) boomless (safety) 4) BUILT IN COOLERS <br>So far I have not been disappointed in speed. When the wind has been blowing, we hauled. When it wasn't we floated. I must admit that in light light wind (<5mph) the H16 seem to do much better, but we usually have 3 more people on the boat..... plus nothing is very fun in light light wind anyway. <br>If you are going to sail solo most of the time, what about a Hobie Wave? <br> <br>So to sum it up, zero complaints about the Getaway. <br> <br>-scott<br><br>Ssyba <br>'01 Hobie Getaway
