1998 Gemini 105M "Faithful" Exceptional Comfort, Performance, and Value
The 1998 Gemini 105M "Faithful" is a well-maintained and thoughtfully upgraded example of one of the most popular cruising catamarans ever built. Designed by the renowned Tony Smith, the Gemini 105M has established a reputation for its balance of sailing performance, comfort, and versatility. Built by Gemini Catamarans, a trusted name in multihull construction, "Faithful" embodies the design principles that have made the Gemini 105M a top choice for sailors around the world easy handling, spacious living accommodations, and shallow draft advantages.
Performance and Handling
"Faithful" is a joy to sail, thanks to her efficient sail plan and lightweight design. The Gemini 105M features retractable centerboards and rudders, which allow for a shallow draft of just 18 inches with the boards up perfect for exploring coastal waters or navigating shallow inlets. With the boards down, her upwind performance is impressive, making her equally suited for offshore passages and coastal cruising.
The helm is thoughtfully positioned for excellent visibility and control, and the single-diesel engine with a retractable drive leg ensures easy maneuvering under power. Whether you're single-handing or sailing with a crew, the Geminis well-balanced rig and straightforward systems make for an effortless sailing experience.
Some of Faithfuls equipment highlights include:
Faithful is located in Saint Augustine, FL, and is available for showings by appointment
