[quote=kgatesman]I can smoke 'em with my Prindle 18, even when my sails were 25 years old. Smoking 'em means I am probably 30 seconds to a minute faster in a mile though. Woohoo (sarcasm goes here).
I thought long and hard about the 18 footer that would last me through my kids teen years, and I had to go with something more sporting and older/cheaper. If I bought a Getaway, it would have cost more, but I wouldn't have to leave town to find it. It wouldn't have needed as much work over the first three year's of ownership either. I drove many, many milies looking at older 18 foot cats that weren't Getaways.
On the other hand, that front tramp, the coolers, and the boom-less rig is pretty sweet for a family.
