[quote=icon149]What makes you think a getaway would be a better boat? the 5.8 has a boomless main so don't have to worry about knocking anyone out, can easily accept 3 trapeze wires (and have mutliple little hanging on the wire) and the boat is big and smooth and comfortable... as well as fast when you want it to be. I don't see what advantage the getaway would have over a 5.8 other than maybe the tramp up front... but in 10knts i doubt anyone will want to be there, and you could sit on the front hulls in low wind days and dangle feet.
I vote keep the 5.8 and teach the grands to sail on a great boat. won't take long and they will grow into it (or out of the getaway) and you'll wish you could give them a more exciting ride![/quote]
