Default Gemini cat sailing performance

Hi

I have read a fair amount of hype about the sailing performance of the
Gemini 34Mc Catamaran.

Anybody around sails one, does it live to the expectation?

Bye


Yes, and yes.

Sails at half wind speed (up to a limit), points to 35deg but I usually drop
off to 40-45 for higher VMG.

Most people who knock the sailing performance do so on the basis of their
first, and probably only, test sail - did you get the best out of your boat
first time out? Construction quality is good, it is finish that most people
criticize - you get what you pay for.

Cheers.
