I've sailed H16's for years, and H15's a couple of times.....in Antigua and Cuba.

I've also sailed Getaways and Waves, F18's and T's, and my old beloved SX18.
The Getaway is a great boat to sail, especially for a family or for social sailing.
It is also heavy, at around 400 lbs, compared to a H16 at ~320 lbs.
Think of it as an Oldsmobile.....very comfortable, but not as nippy as an Alfa Romeo.
Great comparison. I think of it as a sail version of a sun tracker party barge.
