A good comprimise is the Spitfire which has "keels" and goes great. If you were thinking of a Getaway.. the Spitfire has all of its advantages like roller furling and no boom) but is a grownups boat.
I presume that you mean the Topcat Spitfire <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
