Bought my Getaway in March and have been out 4 times in mild winds, usually with 4 or 5 people. Yesterday, was out in moderate winds by myself and really got to experience the acceleration. What a great boat! This is my first multihull and my only complaint is that it my lake is now too small due to the speed of the boat.

Where do you sail out of?

Define "moderate winds".

I sail on a little lake in the Philadelphia suburbs. Not sure what the wind was blowing, maybe 10-12. Still learning how to sail the boat and having fun doing it.

10/12 knots solo, and the boat is great!
15/20 knots with 2 persons, the boat is great, with 3 it is good. With 4 the boat moves fast, but you feel the difference.

And yes, you need long bodies of waters, because, when it starts moving, you just don't want to stop :D
