The accommodations are spacious, light, and airy so that the term "down below" just doesn't apply.
Gemini 105Mc's expansive interior complete with comfortable dinette seating for six, sleeping room for up to eight, a double-sided work surface in the galley with a front-loading 4 cubic foot refrigerator, a beautiful master cabin with an incredible view, roomy head with separate shower, and much more.
Perhaps the most important aspect of the Gemini interior is something you won't even notice right away. The Gemini interior consists of a single, one-piece interior liner that stretches from bow to stern and port to starboard. This single liner provides a clean, uniform interior that keeps the boat light, strong, and contributes towards Gemini's great sailing performance.
When stepping into the cabin of a Gemini, most sailors are immediately taken with the shear amount of interior volume.
We've outfitted the interior with all the amenities seasoned cruisers want. There's a double-sided galley that includes a 4 cubic foot front loading refrigerator. There's also plenty of smartly designed storage in each area of the boat that makes for an uncluttered cabin. There are useful touches such as convertible dining table that can seat 6 or 8 people, just two steps down to the hulls keeps everyone on the same level, an average of 6' headroom throughout, and a panoramic, forward-facing view from the master bed.
The larger cockpit enclosure has been added that virtually doubles the amount of space. The new enclosure surrounds the entire cockpit in isinglass (clear plastic). The new enclosure makes entertaining in the cockpit even more enjoyable with additional space and seating areas.
It provides for a "back porch" with protection from biting insects. The isinglass makes the cockpit into a usable living space even when it's wet and cold outside. In fact, the cabin heater does a great job of distributing heat out to the enclosed cockpit. The new enclosure also offers one more benefit - a sun cover which extends out over the sides of the cockpit to provide additional shade.

First introduced on the original Gemini 105M, the hull shape of the 105Mc is still revolutionary in the multihull industry. The hulls of the Gemini 105Mc are shallow and shaped much like a "teardrop" which requires little force to move the 105Mc through the water yet it also provides a high load carrying capacity (450 lb per hull per 1"). The bridge deck has 39" of clearance at the bow. This, combined with the lack of pitching and wave making, translates to a comfortable ride with no heeling. The shape has been tested and proven in a wide variety of conditions... surfing down 30' waves in the mid-Atlantic, sailing to Hawaii, or cruising down the Intracoastal waterway.
The Gemini hulls provide many advantages considering their weight and structural rigidity. The entire hull mold is one complete unit including the centerboard cases. This single unit eliminates any secondary bonding down the keel, at the bridge deck or around the centerboard cases making for a far stronger hull. The result - a faster, stronger, and more stable platform that provides excellent sailing performance.
Throughout the history of the Gemini Catamaran, the centerboards have always been her secret weapon and the reason why she points so well to windward. The lift-able boards provide plenty of 'grip' while going to windward yet are easily retractable.
Sailing downwind, the boards are raised thus minimizing drag and maximizing performance. The 105Mc's centerboards combine the pivoting, kick up cruising convenience of centerboards, with the remarkably efficient shape of dagger boards.
The centerboards in the Gemini 105Mc have an advanced asymmetric shape that lifts the boat to windward with reduced drag. The boards are now molded with closed cell foam, which ensures they will last a lifetime.
The centerboards case has a Plexiglas cover enabling the operator to see whether they are up or down. Centerboards are operated from inside and will easily kick up if the boat is grounded The boards extend 5' 6" in the down position and 18" when up.
The 105Mc gets up to speed quickly with her Selden minimal fractional rig with a single adjustable back stays on a 1 ft. crane. This new, efficient full battened, big head mainsail goes behind the backstay improving drive and reducing heel. The advanced design of this Dave Beirig designed sail allows it to easily pass through the backstay. This rig enables an optional large, lightweight masthead-furling drifter. It is attached 1 ft above the roller genoa and tacks down to a curved track between the bows. The drifter is ideal hard to windward in light airs or off the wind as an asymmetric spinnaker tacked to windward.
The optional 200% roller screacher is mounted on a curved track to enable you to pull it to windward for maximum efficiency. This unique system is a cruisers dream; a spinnaker substitute that can be rolled in and out, as well as a racers option for its ability to be used for upwind work in light airs.
The base of the 420 square foot sail is mounted on a curved track between the bows. This sail is a racer's dream in light air as it can be used on any point of sail.
For the cruiser, the sail offers an excellent alternative to a spinnaker as the track enables the foot of the sail to be pulled windward on a reach or broad reach. The sail is also a roller furler so it extremely easy to work with.
The First-Ever Lifting, Underhung Rudder System in a Cruising Catamaran.
The rudders are mechanically joined through the steering system and will steer the boat at 3' or 18" of water without putting any extra load on the helm. In fact, the Gemini exhibits little to no weather helm. Her steering is precise, balanced, and easy. Using two sets of lines, the rudders can be raised or lowered - and automatically raise if and when the boat enters shallow water.
A solid 1 ½" stainless steel post that runs through the middle of each rudder making it exceptionally strong. The rudders are very well balanced and easily kick up if they hit the bottom.

Tony Smith (the builder and designer) and his wife, Sue, took this Gemini, (as the last built by Performance Cruising) last year down the ICW to Florida and then out to the Bahamas. There are many unique touches, which Tony fitted to this boat himself for this voyage!
