How To Make A Gemini Catamaran Sea Worthy?

The Gemini 105MC is a sailing cottage that offers great value for multihull sailors, offering a 10.5 m (35 ft) size and a modest price. It has several interior updates, including a cockpit that can be temporarily enclosed with either canvas or solid panels. The 105Mc provides basic comfort and space at a lower cost, making it easier to sail and motor shorthanded.

The improved hull shape is stiffer, making it more seaworthy for trans-ocean travel. The hull is made of solid GRP bonded with woven roving and mat with isophthalic polyester. The Seawind is better built, much stiffer in a breeze, faster, and easier to get around on. The boat has a higher bridgedeck and can be secured to the boat with a tether.

The Gemini 105Mc has crossed the Pacific Ocean, Coral Sea, Tasman Sea, and now is in Bass Strait. The twenty-three day transatlantic journey proved that a Gemini Catamaran is more than just a coastal cruiser. Gemini Catamarans have gained a reputation among sailors as a cheaper cruiser with a gift for sailing to wind.

To build a Wharram, it is important to have the boat made seaworthy and all electrics checked out. If you have the manufacturers plate, it may be worth contacting Gemini. Anyone with experience with Gemini Legacy cats (40-50ft) in length or similar may have issues in high winds.
