S/V FanSea Hobos is a Deltaville, Virginia based 2008 Gemini Catamaran 105MC For Sale By Owner. This owner requires financial settlement only. No trades. 2008 Gemini 105MC Catamaran — 34′ LOA, 14′ beam. This well-maintained example is in excellent condition and presents as a turnkey platform for comfortable coastal cruising. The boat has been carefully cared for and thoughtfully upgraded, including a modern solar energy system to support extended stays off the dock. A dinghy and outboard are included, making this 105MC ready to cruise from day one. The Gemini 105MC was developed as an affordable, compact, and easy-to-handle cruising catamaran ideal for sailors transitioning to multihulls. The “MC” (convertible) introduced an extended cockpit cover to allow a full enclosure, effectively expanding usable living space and protecting the cockpit/lounge from the elements. The MC also features a slightly taller mast while remaining ICW-friendly, preserving good performance in light airs without sacrificing low-clearance capability for inland waters. This boat’s layout and design emphasize practical use, safety and simplicity: a protected cockpit that converts to an enclosed social area, ample deck access for handling lines and anchoring, and systems geared toward low-maintenance cruising. The upgraded solar array and well-organized electrical system improve self-sufficiency, charging house batteries and supporting onboard amenities while underway or at anchor. Mechanically sound and marina-ready, this Gemini 105MC is suited for weekend adventures, coastal passagemaking, or as a comfortable liveaboard platform for sailors who value easy handling and sensible systems.
