Although the Gemini doesn't come from the factory set up for blue water, if properly outfitted it can take you a long way...
A post from the Gemini users group

Is the Gemini an "ocean going" vessel? I don't know about the one your looking
at, but the one I purchased new in 2001, sail number 716 recently carried me
from Long Beach, CA to Hilo, HI (2200 hundred miles). After a 4 day lay over
continued on from Hilo to Kwajalein Atoll, another 2200 hundred miles southwest
of Hilo.
All miles were covered with no major problems. Had 3 days of 30 knot winds,
one day wind gusts to 60 knots. Two mistakes made #1 not polishing fuel before
leaving, #2 not having enough spare Racor elements on board before leaving.
Spare element problem resolved in Hilo, thanks to NAPA autoparts in Hilo. Oh
yes, mistake #3, not having a gaff to assist in landing those large mahi mahi
that lay between Hilo and Kwaj.>>>
