Re: Rigging refresh

Thanks Yatch rigger. Are you guys on 15th Ave in St Petersburg? I can call and talk to one of you. Should I ask for a specific person and any specific number to call? If it is against forum rules,...

Morning all


After much deliberation and wild plans that included building a Harry Proa in the garage, I am happy to say I just bought a Gemini 105 in good condition. Now I am replacing the...

Re: Difficulty of repairing side deck delamination and bulkhead decay

Thanks Jedi.


Asking price just over 50k. I know, no one can really tell the price and I am not trying to offend the seller with low ball offer.


However, needing bulk head repair and...

Re: Difficulty of repairing side deck delamination and bulkhead decay

Oh dear. Surveyor says it is not an expensive repair and that the rotted area can be removed and new wood placed along with something called sister plate for extra support if i understood it correctly

It is a 97 105m
The big stainless steel plate under the chainplates is an addition per owner, done by a yard years ago.

Difficulty of repairing side deck delamination and bulkhead decay

Hello


I am looking at a gemini and am very interested in proceeding. However, the surveyor told me that there is possible delamination in the side deck - sounded dull but wasn't able to get...

Re: Gemini 105 catamaran

I spoke to the owner and he said that it is a cosmetic cover that goes over the bridge deck and hull corner to reduce slapping. Like fjd3 said above. Apparently it is not structural per owner. I will...

Re: Gemini 105 catamaran

Hi boatpoker

So, that is delamination? I can go back with a little hammer and check the sound. However, if it is clear that it is delamination, i will skip the trip and keep looking

Thanks...

Re: Gemini 105 catamaran

Thanks fgd3
Sorry, should have been more clear. I am referring to the white material at the bottom of the bulging area. Also that rusty streak is of any concern?

Gemini 105 catamaran

Hi all

I am looking to buy an older gemini cat. I saw the stuff that shows in the images where the bridge deck meets the hulls. It feels like caulking to touch.

Is that supposed to be there...

Re: No boat is perfect but!!

Thanks boatpoker. So, if I understood correctly, it is when the layers and layers of resin/fiberglass separates from something like foam or plywood underneath. However, how does that work on a boat...

Last sentence says it all.

I still don't know what exactly debonding is and why that is bad but it doesn't sound good.

Re: Looking for a boat construction space in Central Florida

Don't see it as a downer. Partnership in this case is my wife and I but you are right. It is more my thing than her's and in this case she is more of an innocent bystander. An used Wharram sounds...

Re: No boat is perfect but!!

LOL. No, asking price was not much less than similar sized boats in the market, obviously I wouldn't be able to compare with other boats as I don't know their condition.

Re: No boat is perfect but!!

Indeed.
It's been a learning experience - I thought blisters are only a cosmetic issue - I guess it depends on the size/depth and extent!!

Re: Looking for a boat construction space in Central Florida

@MicHughV


I agree wholeheartedly. My last project of a dinghy took a lot longer than I expected. However, it is hard to find a catamaran that is capable of off shore under a 100k. That is the...
