[quote=mbsailor]Make sure you get the inflatable wheels, not the hard plastic. I pull my Getaway solo with the inflatable wheels, even in soft sand. Not so with the hard wheels.
Also, I leave up my mast during the sailing season, unless there's a bad storm forecast. You can leave up jib, too, but be sure to use the snorkle, or you will get sun damage.
Anchor the boat to the beach from both both fore and aft beams. I use mobile home anchors, which you can buy at Home Depot. I had my one-month-old Getaway anchored only in the bow, and a 50kt gust picked it up, spun it, snapped the line and tossed it 40' away in the dunes. I never had trouble again, after I anchored it fore and aft.
Have fun. You've got a GREAT boat.[/quote]
