The new Gemini hulls
have increased stability because while the overall beam of the boat
remained the same, the centers of buoyancy were moved as far apart as
possible. The hulls being so shallow also allows the centers of buoyancy
to be high. With a lot of attention to detail and a low aerodynamic
profile the center of gravity of Gemini is very low. The unique low cabin
and see through pilothouse allows not only a low boom but an efficient end
plate to the main sail as the boom just kisses the pilot house.
Gemini has very efficient hulls and centerboards so she does not need a large sail area to get good performance. The short mast and relatively small sail area keeps the center of effort low. Although Gemini only has a 14' beam she still has one of the best safety ratios of any catamaran on the market. |
