About the GEMINI 105M
A DL version includes a Westerbeke diesel connected to an Inboard/Outboard type 'leg' that can be raised out of the water when not in use.
Designed by Tony Smith and built by Performance Cruising Inc. (USA) from 1995–2000, the Gemini 105M is a compact catamaran with 110 hulls produced. Its 33.5 ft LOA and 8000.0 lb displacement offer a balance of coastal cruising comfort and manageable size for dual-engine setups.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and couples seeking a stable, easy-to-handle platform with ample interior volume, particularly those prioritizing self-sufficiency through solar power and watermakers.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.8 and a comfort ratio of 11.4, the boat is suitable for protected offshore passages but requires careful attention to structural integrity given its age and reported hull issues.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to the Lagoon 33 and Fountaine-Pajot Maëhawa due to similar beam and dual-engine configurations, though the Gemini offers a more traditional sloop rig and lighter displacement.
