- Welcome to "Windward Express"! A 1997 Gemini 105M tiny catamaran, with an 18" draft! Able to anchor pretty much anywhere, or even be beached! These types of boats are special because of how small they are, yet how much interior space they offer, and where you can call home thanks to their retractable centerboards and rudders.
After the full tour outside & inside this cool boat for an in depth interview with the boats owner. He interesting story of how and why get bought this boat and sailed/motored it all the way to Saint John's is well worth a listen.

Hello & welcome! I'm Daniel aka "Adventureman Dan." I've been living on the edge, from one adventure to another for the past nine years. Stating in Central California with my first GoPro, through SoCal, Baja, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Alaska and throughout the whole USA. But for the past five years on my sailboat "Adventureborne" I'm open to unlimited possibilities of where I can go, and what I can do!

Man, I have to get my but out there. That freedom and access to fishing, surfing and living naturally. Goals
Glad to hear it's motivating you buddy. Get out there!
I feel the same. I'm watching as many videos as I can before I take the plunge!
Your Vibe definitely attracts your Tribe! ❤
Yes! Thank you!
He’s got the great freedom and flexibility of a mobile home on water while going to college! There are so many other people who would love to be in his situation. Thanks for highlighting the Gemini, a catamaran that can be Solo Sailed.
Any boat can be solo sailed within reason, it largely depends on confidence and rigging setup
Thank you so much for this video! i didn't know how accessible this boat type was and its everything i have been looking for!
thanks Dan, always enjoyable content!
Glad you enjoyed it. 😀
love the videos, keep it up man!
Thanks, will do!
The Gemini sails very well and flys with a Code Zero
I need to pick one up for sure, the standard Genoa is to heavy for light wind sailing and doesnt stay inflated much below 8 knots of wind
I’ve rewatched this vid, like 15 times. Love it. Gotta get me one!
Glad to head buddy!
Fantastic!
Thank you! Cheers!
@@Adventureman_DanThanks, Dan. Always wanted a real captain's assessment of Gemini.
I really appreciate the way you structured this video. Well done!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks Dan, Im just seeing this video now but its great!
Hey hey buddy, glad you liked it. You've got a great boat and are in a great situation. Keep protecting democracy and I hope our paths cross.
Thanks for making this video Dan! I have an older 30ft Catamaran (33.4inch draft) in Australia. I bought it last year when I was 24 for around the same price point and I think it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. Super cool to see the similarities/differences with Connor’s cat! Neat having the adjustable draft. I also get the low bridge deck clearance slamming in waves, depreciation maxed etc, Hoping to get more young people/ other girls interested in sailing so pretty awesome to see Connor doing it as well. I learnt to sail monohulls and I’d pick one to cross an ocean any day but for living on and doing a 3/4 circumnavigation of Australia I’m pretty happy with my choice so far. I’ve been watching your videos for a long time, when this was all just a tiny idea in the back of my head. Really cool to see a video so close to home.
Sweet buddy. And glad you liked it.
Fun Fact: Chasing Latitudes (Chris Caruso) recommends this particular (Gemini 105M) catamaran. 😀👍👏👏👏
Chasing latitudes is a complete idiot! Avoid him/her
I would personally recommend the 105MC, its a direct upgrade in every way to this boat and the market for these boats has really come down in the past 6 months.
@@connorobrien2202 exactly! Don't listen to chasing latitudes
These boats have crossed the Atlantic many times, well built.
I know of 1 that crossed the Pacific 1 that circumnavigated.
Not many make that trip in these boats, I personally would not choose to. "well built" is not the word I would use to describe the construction of Gemini catamarans. "Adequate" would be more on the nose. The reality is these boats where designed in the USA for near costal use and the shallow waters of Florida and the Bahamas, they where built to a price that a upper middle class family could reasonably afford, (105MCs retailed for 129,000 in 2003). They where never intended to cross oceans, though some have. That being said I have no complaints about the structural integrity of the boat, but the fit and finish leaves alot to be desired, this improves as the years go on though. I have a 97, hull number 569. The 105M started production in 94 and the MC in 2000, the MC is a superior boat in every way with the last years of the run before hunter took over being the best in terms of quality.
Awesome vid.
Also, Managed Democracy is calling.
always
Really cool tour. Always neat to see people’s floating homes.
Does he have a TH-cam channel or IG to follow along his adventures?
I do not sorry.
@@connorobrien2202 you definitely should man!
It's true buddy, what you're doing is really cool.
@@Adventureman_Dan I feel like the "Sailing youtuber" is a tad oversaturated right now, not sure how i would break out or that i could offer any meaningful contributions to that scene
Conor is a cool guy 😎 does he have TH-cam?
He does not unfortunately.
Dan great interview/ walkthrough man!!
I’m curious a 23 year old bought a $68,000 boat and going to school in usvi
I love it!! What’s it do for $$ coin? Is he working down there also or remote or what?? Really enjoyed this video Dan
Very nice boat. Wonder how well it would do as a coastal sailer :)
I has already.
sees a window. "Oh, thats SO cool!"
Such a cool window!
Does it have a water maker? Could you fit one on this Gemini? If I missed it - apologies
No watermaker currently, the builder has already pre laid plumbing for the install of one though.
Absolutely a better option than spending upwards of $800,000 for a contemporary 40' plus cat.
Exactly!
What i dont get is why boat people dont buy Quest 3 (VRheadsets). Saves you ton of space and give much more "monitor surface" than this solution.
A warm VR headset in a humid climate on the sea I can‘t imagine anything more comfortable haha
I use my computer for many other things then just gaming, schoolwork and just surfing the web, also the computer predates the boat and ive honestly never considered switching out the monitor
@connorobrien2202 I would recommend looking into VR headset not as gaming device but as productivity one. With small amount of space you are able to have multiple gigantic screens in VR.
60 gallons of water. Good for cruising? Ummm, no. Island hopping yes.
It's not the boat, it's the sailor.
@@Adventureman_Dan True true. You csn pack a lot of 5 gallon containers on that thing.
Needs a water maker
@@walterhawkins1062just needs a Sailing La Vagabond Trimaran
@@walterhawkins1062 does need a water maker
Jack is hot af
He's a stud muffin.
What school?
I wanted to know what he was going to study.
One on Saint John's USVI.
UVI
For some reason, you have a strange resemblance to Louis CK.
Someone in another comment said "u look like sinbad from disney))))"...... I prefer their comment. :) lol
I have sailed on the Gemini cats. They are slow and definitely aren’t good for any significant sea state. The cockpit really isn’t very comfortable unfortunately.
I would not describe my boat as slow, when compared to monohulls with a similar (32ft) waterline I am generally 25% faster then them and can point nearly as well as some of the poorer designed hulls. the biggest difference is in light winds, I find that the boat powers up very quickly on light wind days and breezes along around 60-75% wind speed from a close reach down to a broad reach.
Refreshing to know there are helldivers spreading democracy from all over the globe!🫡
