I've had a 16 for about the last 15 yrs or so which I sail in the Gulf of Mex off the Fla panhandle a couple weeks each year. I love the old boat but I have so many kids, nephews and nieces now it's hard for everyone to get their sailing in. I'm looking at buying a Getaway for more capacity and want opinions as to how well it handles seas and wind compared to the 16. When the seas get over 2.5-3 ft I pack it in. Can the Getaway handle these kinds of seas or is it more of a bay boat?
