I was wondering what anyone thought of putting an H16 mast, boom and sail on a getaway, making the appropriate mod to accept the mast of course. I thought it might be a good way to keep most of the desirable features of the getaway and get a mit more speed out of it. Does this sound reasonable?
Maybe Hobie could do something like this from the factory. Maybe they could start putting a mast with the boat (even if it is the same length as the current sail) that could accept a boom and wider sail to give the option to sail this way or not. Seems like it's a trivial modification as long as the wider sail does not throw the boat off balance when sailing. You'd get a few more sq feet of sail area and holpefully more power.
