To be honest i dont like the gettaway it is a dog in compared to all the above boats. the gettaway is a resort boat. We say the Hobie is a resort boat but out of all of them i think that boat thats the cake of the most resort of them all. Its not really a boat i would like to take out in a gale either. I have sailed alot of boats from 18foot skiffs to hobie 14s to lazers and im only 17. This boat isn't what your looking for really. wel it might be but from what you sai above and that im an istructor at the club we have here i dont think your going to like it.

Well have fun what ever you do.
