[quote=MN3][quote] A Getaway with spi sounds a bit odd to me, it’s a family boat, safe, very simple to rig and sail. Adding a spi defies all these benefits to make it faster or more sporty. Why are you choosing this particular boat? Or what was inconvenient with the 21SE for your needs? Just curious, not my intention to question your idea. [/quote]
I agree that it is unusual to put a spin on a getaway but I don't see anything wrong with adding a spin
a spin can add a lot of speed, excitement and fun for downwind sailing despite the platform (within limits, i don't think one on a opti is a great idea, but heck they put foils on an opti ....)

With wings and a front tramp the spin sheets and spar shouldn't be in the way and down wind sailing in 4 knots in the summer can be brutal (esp here in florida). Add a spin and you can spice that up a bunch[/quote]
