Beautiful weekend here on Long Island (NY) in the 80's and blue skies...Saturday produced absolutly no wind, but still had a great time on the beach with my 2 little ones and some perfectly chilled Grey Goose and tonics at 5......Sunday the wind gods were acting up, a steady 15 SE breeze..first i had to tape my torn jib (ran out of tape) but did enough to make her hold and not tear anymore....got a solid 2 hrs solo in before the wife had to leave the beach for a baby shower for a few hours, so i watched the kids for abit,..once she returned i took out 2 of my buddies now the winds were closer to 20 and we were flying...they were having a blast....they wanted to get on the road by 5 to get back to NYC, needless to say, we were pulling the boat onto they beach at 7!!!!! great day......only negative about the Getaway is that id does not handle 2-3 chop that well (as compared to my Hunter 146)
