14-FOOT BEAM. 18-INCH MINIMUM DRAFT. THREE CABINS. AND A CATAMARAN YOU CAN ACTUALLY FIND A SLIP FOR.

Lux Yachts proudly presents this 2007 Gemini 105Mc, one of the most recognizable and practical American cruising catamarans ever produced.

The Gemini 105Mc was built around a refreshingly simple idea: provide the space, stability, shallow-water capability, and lifestyle advantages of a cruising catamaran without requiring owners to step into the size, dockage requirements, and expense associated with a much larger multihull.

At 33'6" overall with a 14' beam, the Gemini delivers an extraordinary amount of usable space in a manageable package. Three separate cabins, a spacious salon, convertible dinette, cruising galley, generous cockpit, and twin retractable centerboards make this a boat equally comfortable spending a weekend aboard or setting off on a much longer adventure.

With the centerboards raised, published minimum draft is approximately 18 inches. That opens up cruising grounds and anchorages that simply aren't accessible to many conventional sailboats.

This particular Gemini also features new lead-acid batteries with the ability to operate the onboard air conditioning from battery power, adding another layer of comfort when away from shore power.

For someone dreaming about the Georgia coast, Carolinas, Florida, Bahamas, Chesapeake, or simply enjoying the cruising-catamaran lifestyle, this is a tremendous amount of boat for $79,500.

The 14-Foot Beam Advantage

One of the most important features of the Gemini isn't something you immediately notice when looking at photographs.

She's only 14 feet wide.

Many cruising catamarans require oversized slips, specialized dockage, and additional marina planning. The Gemini was intentionally designed around a comparatively narrow beam, allowing her to fit into many conventional marina slips while retaining the stability and usable living space that attract buyers to catamarans in the first place.

That can make a significant difference in real-world ownership.

Once aboard, however, she still feels unmistakably like a catamaran. The wide platform creates a spacious central salon, multiple private sleeping areas, excellent cockpit space, and a comfortable environment at anchor.

It's one of the reasons the Gemini formula has endured for decades.

Exceptional Shallow-Water Capability

The twin retractable centerboards are about much more than a specification on a sales sheet.

With the boards raised, published minimum draft is approximately 18 inches, allowing access to shallow anchorages, protected creeks, and cruising grounds that can be difficult or impossible for deeper-draft sailboats.

Lower the boards when sailing and they provide additional lateral resistance, particularly when sailing to windward. The Gemini owner's documentation also discusses using centerboard position to assist with maneuvering and reduce lateral movement in certain close-quarters situations.

For a Savannah-based boat, this design makes tremendous sense.

The Georgia coast, Florida, Bahamas, Chesapeake Bay, and countless shallow anchorages along the Eastern Seaboard are exactly the kinds of places where a boat drawing approximately 18 inches can change the cruising experience.

Sometimes the best anchorage is the one everyone else has to pass by.

Designed for a Cruising Couple

The Gemini 105Mc was designed to be manageable without requiring a large crew.

Sail controls are conveniently led aft toward the cockpit, helping make sail handling more approachable for a couple or shorthanded crew.

The masthead sloop rig and twin-centerboard arrangement provide a straightforward cruising configuration, while the catamaran platform offers the stability and usable deck space that make multihulls so attractive for extended time aboard.

For the cruising couple, this means a boat that offers significant accommodations without automatically requiring the complexity of a much larger yacht.

Three-Cabin Accommodations

This is where the Gemini really begins to surprise people.

At only 33'6", the 105Mc manages to provide three separate sleeping cabins along with a central salon and cruising galley.

The traditional arrangement includes:

• Private forward owner's accommodation
• Two additional aft cabins
• Spacious central salon
• Convertible salon/dinette providing additional sleeping space
• Functional cruising galley
• Dedicated head
• Excellent storage
• Abundant natural light

For a couple, the additional cabins can become guest accommodations, storage, an office, or a combination of all three.

For a family, the layout provides separation and privacy that is difficult to duplicate aboard a conventional sailboat of similar length.

This is one of the Gemini's greatest strengths: 33-foot ownership with accommodations that feel like they belong aboard a considerably larger boat.

Salon & Galley

The elevated central salon takes advantage of the catamaran's beam and deckhouse design.

Large windows bring natural light into the primary living space and provide excellent visibility, helping the interior feel bright and open rather than confined.

The salon dinette can also convert to provide additional sleeping accommodations when needed, further increasing the boat's versatility when family or guests are aboard.

The galley is incorporated into the main living area and is arranged for practical cruising use, keeping the person preparing meals connected with everyone else aboard.

Electrical, Battery & Off-Grid Capability

This particular Gemini has been equipped with new lead-acid batteries and offers the ability to operate the onboard air-conditioning system from battery power.

According to the owner, the current battery configuration has demonstrated approximately four hours of air-conditioning operation while off charge at an approximately 5 kW electrical load, depending upon operating conditions and onboard demand.

That's an attractive capability for a cruising sailboat, particularly when spending nights away from shore power.

The owner had also considered a future conversion to approximately 300Ah of lithium capacity to further increase off-grid capability. That conversion has not been completed and is not represented as equipment currently aboard.

Current highlights include:

• New lead-acid batteries
• Ability to operate air conditioning from battery power
• Owner-reported approximately four hours of A/C operation off charge under stated conditions
• Charging capability for extended onboard use
• Excellent candidate for a future lithium conversion if greater capacity is desired

Actual battery and air-conditioning runtime will vary with temperature, system load, battery condition, charging input, A/C cycling, and other operating factors.

Cockpit & Outdoor Living

A cruising catamaran should be as enjoyable outside as it is below, and the Gemini makes excellent use of its footprint.

The cockpit provides room for entertaining, relaxing at anchor, and operating the boat underway. The broad catamaran platform also provides the stability at anchor that draws many sailors toward multihull ownership in the first place.

For coastal cruising, weekends aboard, or longer adventures, the layout provides an easy transition between indoor and outdoor living.

A Proven American Catamaran Design

The Gemini isn't an obscure experimental multihull.

By 2007, more than 1,000 Geminis based on the 33'6" platform had been launched, according to contemporary reporting from Cruising World. That production history helped establish Gemini as one of the most recognizable American cruising-catamaran names of its era.

Designer Tony Smith also demonstrated the cruising potential of the Gemini concept firsthand, including a North Atlantic passage to England aboard a Gemini. That history shouldn't be interpreted as a blanket claim that every 105Mc is equipped or suitable for offshore passagemaking, but it is an interesting chapter in the development and pedigree of the design.

The concept was straightforward and remains relevant today:

Build a manageable catamaran with real accommodations, shallow draft, useful sailing ability, and dimensions that don't make ownership unnecessarily complicated.

Auxiliary Power & Tankage

Published model specifications for the Gemini 105Mc indicate:

Original Auxiliary Power: Westerbeke diesel, approximately 27 HP
Fuel Capacity: Approximately 36 gallons
Fresh Water Capacity: Approximately 60 gallons

The actual engine, engine hours, tankage, equipment, and mechanical configuration aboard this particular vessel should be independently confirmed.
