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.
  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.
  The boat has a draft of 0.70 ft (0.21 m) with the rudders down and 0.25 ft (0.076 m) with rudders up.
  In 2007 the Getaway was redesigned with rectangular storage hatches vs. the previous circular hatch.  The EZ LOC rudder was also introduced.
  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).
