This is the second season with my new getaway and after sailing my 16 for many years I'm finally feeling comfortable with the boat, one thing, I do find that the hulls seam to have a lot of movement in them when crossing stink pot wakes, on the 16 this was always bad and needed correction, Is this not a problem on the getaway?
Just a note, it took quite a while to relax on the boat in winds over 15k as I sail primarily my myself and with the 16 you always had to react quickly to avoid going over. With the getaway I just let the boat come up on one hull and ride it out :D

Just make sure the tramps and the rig are tight. Nothing else to do for that.
