Looked at a Gemini Catamaran in Daytona Beach

 We headed over to look at a 2011 Gemini Catamaran that was made by Hunter Marine, Alachua, FL. It had the swiveling centerboards and was a really nice and clean boat. The family was from Quebec and had just gotten back from the Bahamas. The asking price was $142,000. We thought that was a bit high plus it didn't have a windlass, no air conditioning, generator and a tiny watermaker. It would be a nice boat for up north, but no air conditioning is a deal breaker for FL.

Gemini Catamaran Shell at Hunter Marine

Published with Blogger-droid v2.0.1
I took this pic of the sister boat of 3Sum being made. Hunter Marine is now the manufacturer of the Gemini and not Performance Cruising. We saw the new version at the St. Pete Boat Show and I like what Hunter had done and added some nice features and simplified some of the electronics, but it looked like a Hunter. Don't know what that means, but it looked like a Hunter. It felt like it was a bit more solid than 3Sum. The grabrails didn't pull out like on 3Sum.

Strictly Sail, St. Pete, FL Nov 2006

We put away our Hobie and had Gambler, our old quarterhorse, tow it into a barn around Oct. 2006. We decided to go to the St. Pete Strictly Sail Boat show and look at big cruising boats and were intrigued by the Gemini Catamaran. We hadn't even given a thought to the Telstar and didn't even look at it. In fact, I remember poo pooing it when Lisa mentioned we should give it a looksie. On the plane ride home a week later, I was looking at Sail magazine and realized that it was trailerable. That meant we could easily set it up and launch it in 5 or 10 minutes just like our Hobie! (We found out quite quickly that just is not the case).
