She is turnkey for cruising with extras like dinghy davits, solar panels (130W), factory outdoor cushions, custom cockpit shade, three good anchors and rode, extra jib, remote autopilot, one year-old Garmin GPS chartplotter, two automatic bilge pumps, seawater footpump in galley, nice stainless BBQ, etc. She is the perfect Caribbean vessel, we think, and we have taken her to Cuba, Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, USVI’s, BVI’s, Anguilla, St. Martin, Saba, St. Eustatias, St. Kitts, Nevis, Antigua, Barbuda, Guadeloupe, Dominica, Martinique, St. Lucia, St. Kitts, the Grenadines, and Greneda. She is currently in the Antigua, St. Martin, St. Barts areas. Pick up a cruising magazine and find the maker of the boat, “Performance Cruising”. You will see Gypsy Cat in their print ad. She gets hauled each year with above and below the waterline maintenance and refits. Last seasons’ haul out, besides the normal repairs, maintenance, and cleaning included: Annual below waterline antifouling (three coats!) Removed and repaired (better than factory) the starboard centerboard Put in a new rubrail insert all around Changed our galley footpump to seawater intake so we have both sea and sweet water Put in automatic bilge pumps in each hull Put in new rudder lines Put in new rudder to outdrive lines Put in new centerboard lines Put in new dual helm and steering cables Serviced all the winches Tensioned the rigging to specs Repainted the outdrive Reinforced the davits with S.S. backing plates Put three coats of wax topsides and below Currently, she is in the process of getting her spring cleaning, waxing, and polishing. How does she sail? Easy rig for single-handers like me. She can point very well with the centerboards too. My solo trip from Grenada to St. Martin found me at 8-9 knots on many stretches. “A great many cats struggle to point better than 45°-50° to the apparent wind and often lose a further 10°-15° to leeway, which is why you frequently see cats motorsailing into the wind. The Gemini’s aerofoil centreboards, however, change the game entirely, which is why all the professional catamaran racers use them.” - Sailing Today
