[quote=mbsailor]I bought a new Getaway 2 years ago. It's the wrong boat if you'll be sailing solo very often, which unfortunately is my situation. My sailing circle has evaporated, so solo sailing has become the norm, and the Getaway is just the wrong boat. It takes two strong men to pull it up into the dunes, even with the wheels. And in the surf its weight is way too much for one person to handle. The bow gets turned by the surf, so you need a person at the bow and the stern. I usually ask for help from someone on the beach, and if no one's available, then I'm stuck. On the plus side, it's a REALLY comfortable boat. I love the boomless sail and especially the wings. It's plenty fast and with the big jib you can execute a great roll tack. But I can say honestly that I am not comfortable sailing it solo, especially since I launch through the surf. Guess I need to find a new boat. Any thoughts?[/quote]
