1987 Gemini Sailing Cat $14,500

“CURRENT PRICE” IS A GUIDE. ALL OFFERS RESPECTFULLY CONSIDERED.

Tracys Landing, MD

Actual Condition
This Gemini is suffering from a bit of neglect. An open hatch for an extended period had allowed rain water to enter the boat. The sub-floor and cabin sole in the port and stbd hull have been damaged by water and will need repairs. The boat also needs general clean up and overall servicing from sitting. The hull and decks appear sound and she is a great platform. She had updates in 2013 that included a 9.9 Yamaha long shaft, electric head, and new electric panels. This is a worth-while project. Take a look and make your bid!

The SR 37 sold to an Australian in 2019 and did do a trip from the panhandle to the Bahamas and apparently back. He’d planned to sail back to Australia with a fairly large crew. Must be back at Stu’s dock in Gulfbreeze.

Here's an older Dean for only $20,000 in Texas. The specs say it's about 36.5' and "needs some attention".

That's got to be a miserable thing to sail .... Have a look under one.... there is almost no bridge deck clearance... They must pound something awful!

The #2 post sums it up pretty well.

A great live aboard fair weather motorsailor.... probably a great boat for the ICW....I good choice for a "looper" .......... You couldn't get me beyond the horizon in one! They obviously are not a "blue water" boat.


Opinions are like A-holes.... everybody has one. Richard Woods however is someone well worth listening to....... it doesn't hurt at all that I completely agree with him ;-)

If it isn't too far gone then $20,000 for that Dean might be worth it despite it's deficiencies.

Didn’t Sailing Lady Africa (YT) do up one of those Deans? IIRC they then added a whole lot more weight to the back with that swim platform....

From my research on these Dean Cats, any you find in the US have made at least one ocean crossing. Not a fast cat but that is not what it was designed for.

Yes, if I recall correctly they have a reputation of being a solid blue water cruiser.

A really genuine, upbeat, and positive couple, but if you watch their last video of reflection, you are left feeling perhaps a little less upbeat about some of the choices they made.

Really??? Other people's criteria seem to be somewhat different from mine. I would suspect that few people (if anybody) attempt an ocean crossing twice in one.....
