About Y44 Gemini
Gemini was built in 2010, and is by far the newest sailboat in the Yankee One Design class. The details of its construction are in the WoodenBoat Magazine article “Building Gemini", issue 221, July/August 2011(p 57-59).
Gemini is located in the Pacific Northwest. The boat has been maintained in excellent condition. It's never leaked or never required restoration, just seasonal paint and varnish.
Gemini comes equipped with a Torqeedo electric outboard and two lithium batteries, so it can easily navigate marinas, canals, and locks, or motor through windless zones.
This boat has a perfect mix of new and classic hardware: top of the line Harken for ease of use (windward sheeting traveller, self-tailing winches, genoa tracks and cars, and ratcheting mainsheet blocks), plus classic bronze deck and spar hardware from a retired Yankee.
It comes fully equipped with sails, lines and rigging, fenders, life jackets, an extra Torqeedo throttle, anchor, spinnaker pole, and more.
The deck covering is fiberglass (instead of canvas), for longevity and ease of maintenance. Inside, the cabinet extends to chart-table size with a pull-out leaf. In the cockpit, a removable divider between the seats and the shelf converts the benches to berths and doubles the sleeping capacity.
GEMINI has been hauled and packed on a trailer, and is being stored inside, out of the weather, ready to be shipped.
A recent survey and full gear list is available on request. Contact the owner for more details.
