Michigan | I am not sure many of you guys get the magazine- Practical Sailor- but in this month's issue they are talking about multihulls. They list a getaway as a "performance multihull."
hmmm.../
Obviously it is a marketable boat and more of them have probably been sold in the last year than any other type of cat.... but....
what would fit the bill of a non performance multihull?

| My Tiki? But even it will make 11-12 knots, carry 1,000 lbs. and make reasonable open water passages.

Lake Murray SC | Well,
Any modern multihull will run away from from almost every comparable mono out there. Doesn't that qualify?

Sebring, Florida. | If you have only sailed monohulls at 6-7kts, any multihull is a "perforamance" multihull!
Now, the question is, what does that make an Inter 20?

Sebring, Florida. | Unfortunately that is the opinion of many monhull only sailors.

Asuncion, Paraguay | Maybe the author saw only Hobie rotomolded cats and compared the Getaway with the Wave.
