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. Contact us for a complete equipment and maintenance inventory, high-resolution photos, and to schedule a viewing or sea trial. Serious inquiries only, please. https://www.catamaransite.com/yachts-for-sale/gemini-105mc-17/

UK Sailmakers’ Head Sail Designer Pat Considine uses BSG Development’s FSI sail analysis program to help fine-tune his sail designs. The FSI program works like a virtual wind tunnel allowing Pat to make sure no section of the sail becomes overloaded, allows him to see how the flying shape changes with trim, mast bend, rig tune across a range of wind speeds. The program analyses how all the components of the boat’s rig and sails work together. In this video Pat talks about how he used the program to advance his sail designs for square top mainsails. At the end of the video analyzing the mainsail shape on the Mark Mills designed Cape 31, Pat said, “Anyone who got a square top mainsail design this year benefited from the Cape 31 study. It helped improve the group’s designs for square top mainsails.” This is just one more example of the technical tools UK Sailmakers uses to ensure our customers get the fastest sails possible.
