HOBIE GETAWAY – A CATAMARAN FOR FAMILY AND RECREATIONAL SAILING

The Hobie Getaway is a spacious, stable and fun sport catamaran designed for sailors who want to share the joy of sailing with family and friends. It combines straightforward handling, durable construction and an enjoyable performance-oriented sailing character.

Its high-volume hulls and spacious deck provide plenty of room for several crew members, while the Hobie Getaway still delivers the dynamic sailing experience expected from a sport catamaran.

SPACIOUS AND VERSATILE

One of the key advantages of the Hobie Getaway is its generous space for the crew. It is suitable for family outings, sailing with friends, sailing schools, clubs and recreational use.

The European specification lists a 3–4 person crew, while US-market specifications list up to 6 people depending on the market and operating conditions.

DURABLE ROTOMOLDED HULLS

The Getaway hulls are manufactured from rotomolded polyethylene. This material provides excellent impact resistance and is designed for active recreational use.

The durable construction makes the catamaran suitable for a wide range of recreational sailing conditions, including beaching, docking and launching close to shore.

UNIQUE KEEL DESIGN – NO DAGGERBOARDS

One of the practical features of the Hobie Getaway is its specially shaped keel design, which eliminates the need for separate daggerboards.

This simplifies operation and is particularly convenient when sailing close to shore or approaching a beach.

SAIL PLAN

The Hobie Getaway features a large, fully-battened Dacron mainsail combined with a roller-furling jib.

The mainsail uses a modern square-top design and features multiple colors. The roller-furling jib allows the sail to be quickly reduced or completely furled when the crew needs to reduce sail area.

EZ LOC RUDDER SYSTEM

The catamaran is equipped with the EZ Loc rudder system, designed for simple and convenient rudder handling.

The rudders can be raised when approaching the shore and lowered again when sailing into deeper water, making the system particularly practical for beach launching and shallow-water sailing.

SPACIOUS TRAMPOLINE AREA

The Hobie Getaway features a forward mesh trampoline that provides additional space for the crew.

The large open platform makes it easy for crew members to move around the catamaran and enjoy the sailing experience. Its spacious layout is also ideal for social sailing with family and friends.

PRACTICAL FEATURES

The Getaway incorporates a number of features designed to improve comfort and convenience:

• cooler/storage compartments in both hulls;

• forward trampoline;

• EZ Loc rudder system;

• roller-furling jib;

• Comptip mast;

• mast float;

• righting line;

• special keel shape eliminating daggerboards;

• fully-battened Dacron mainsail.

SAFETY FEATURES

The Comptip mast system and mast float provide additional safety in the event of a capsize. The mast float helps reduce the risk of the catamaran turning completely upside down and remaining inverted.

A righting line is also included to assist the crew in returning the catamaran to its normal sailing position after a capsize.
