FYI ....... the Gemini 105MC is CE rated (ocean passage). Many have
completed successful Pacific and Atlantic crossings including
builder/designer, Tony Smith, who made a challenging North Atlantic
crossing in 2001 with 35' waves and Force 9 winds. I've owned a C320 and
a Gemini 105MC. Both are reliable, seaworthy boats. In my opinion, the
main differences are....... a) minimal heeling with a catamaran, b)
considerably more space c) better protection from the elements at the
helm, and d) a monohull sailboat will eventually sink if severely holed
or swamped in a knock-down whereas the Gemini will float with one hull
completely swamped or, in the event of capsize, will not sink due to
internal flotation tanks. In a worst case scenario, the inverted hull of
a catamaran serves as a rescue platform. That said, if I were going to
undertake an ocean passage, I'd probably want a bigger, heavier monohull
or catamaran than either of these boats.

If you're sailing in the ocean pass on the G105 and stick with the
C320.

With that said, before looking at the Caliber 38's (whether or not
they
exist) try a Gemini 105MKII, a roomier boat, and less than 1/2 the
price.

Now, boys. Let's not use the list for repartee tête-à-tête. A
comment
or two re. another boat should be tolerable. Extended discussion re.
non-C320 issues can be done privately.
Thank you for your consideration.
