Through over 1000 boats, every aspect of the Gemini
105Mc has evolved for maximum performance and
function. The near constant tuning and tweaking of
sail plans, rig, build-technique, and equipment
results in the 2008 model Gemini 105Mc Cruising
Catamaran. Whether sailing to windward in 25 knots
or ghosting at wind-speed in 5 knots of true wind,
the Gemini is a cruising boat that offers
exhilarating sailing every time. As Practical
Sailor phrased it - she's a "spacious, stable
platform for a fast-cruising couple."
Consider five reasons why you should consider the Gemini 105Mc for your next boat.
1. Performance: Only the Gemini offers incredibly efficient hull-shapes matched with kick-up centerboards and rudders. The result - a cruising catamaran that sails to weather better than the competition and only draws 18". In fact, with asymmetrically designed centerboards that extend down 5' 6", the Gemini will easily hold 30˚ to the apparent wind. Try sailing that close with any other cruising catamaran! The Gemini is also light and sails like a dream - fast, stable, and with plenty of room and amenities for the cruising lifestyle.

2. Ease-of-Handling: At 33' 6" and
a 14' beam, the Gemini offers something larger
catamarans can't: easy handling. If you're
considering the cruising life, you may discover
that bigger isn't always better. Gemini fits a
standard slip and can be lifted using a standard
travel lift. Going much wider and longer results in
more hassle with fewer and more expensive dockage
options. Gemini is also ideal for a cruising couple
or even single-handed sailing. The main sail raises
in seconds thanks to free-running batten cars and
foresail controls are all led aft for easy
adjustments and terrific sailing.
3. Track History: With over 1000 Gemini's over the course of 25 years, this catamaran has a track record second-to-none. An arduous North Atlantic crossing in 2001 proved that in 45 knot winds and 35' waves, the Gemini is safe, stable, and seaworthy. Over the years, the design benefits from continual tweaking and advances so that the design and systems on the Gemini are a proven combination of dependability, performance, and value.
4. Adaptability: While many owners dream of sailing the Caribbean, others are excited about setting sail in slightly different locales. Take Gemini owner Jose Vidal's trip down along the Patagonia Channel and around Cape Horn. With an enclose-able cockpit and the right-mix of interior accommodation, the crew were warm and comfortable as they cruised through channels riddled with icebergs and rocks. So while not many owners are quite this adventurous, it's just nice to have the option to sail year-round with a design that can be wide-open, semi-enclosed, or fully-battened down.
5. Value: As a production boat, the Gemini offers value other boats just can't match. With a quarter-century of experience in multihull building techniques, the Gemini production line is as thoughtfully designed as the boat itself. Our proficiency translates into the best value in the multihull world. And the sailing world agrees - Gemini Catamarans are known to hold their value at a much higher rate as compared to other cruising sailboats.
