Design
The Getaway is a small recreational catamaran, with the dual hulls built of rotomolded polyethylene. It has a fractional sloop rig, including a roller furling jib and a full-batten mainsail, dual transom-hung rudders and no keel or daggerboards. It displaces 390 lb (177 kg) and can carry 1,000 lb (454 kg) of occupants.[1][2][3][5]
A mast-top float to prevent the boat turning turtle is included as standard equipment. Wing seats for hiking out and trapezing from are optional. A trapeze is also optional.[1][2][5][3]
The boat has a draft of 8.4 in (21 cm) with the rudders down and 3 in (7.6 cm) with rudders up.[1][5][3]
The boat was redesigned in 2017 to give it a length overall of 17.00 ft (5.18 m), an increase from the original design 16.58 ft (5.05 m).[1][3]
