We were also aboard a Gemini 105m yesterday....interesting boat,

Last Saturday we rode a Gemini 105m back from a local anchorage in Barnegat
Bay in light following winds. To our delight we somehow managed to outrun a
Stiletto catamaran who initially was ahead of us by perhaps 2 to 3 hundred
meters. I will not say the Stiletto was well sailed, but he finally gave up
the ghost in disgust and refused to compete (we know where this boat lives
and would most likely have been going for the night). I must say the the
Gemini was a delightful experience for me, a monohull type of person.

Good luck and good sailing.
