Gemini 3400

Coastal Cruising Performance and Shallow-Water Capability!Ursais the brainchild of Tony Smith, renowned catamaran designer and founder of Performance Cruising, which is now known as Gemini Catamarans. Aimed at the cruising market, the Gemini 3400 brought an incredible volume of space, a relatively small but efficient sailplan, and the ability to dock this spacious vessel in a regular-sized slip! In addition, she features kick-up rudders and centerboards on each hull, which allow better performance under sail but also the ability to get into the shallowest waters with ease.On DeckUrsahas a single helm station with Raymarine autopilot and GPS. The aft cockpit features cushioned bench seating surrounding the helm; a perfect place for enjoying a sail or spending time with friends and family on the water. These seats double as storage lockers and provide access to fuel tanks and equipment. A Honda 4-stroke outboard with less than 100 hours powersUrsawhen the sails are stowed, and the owner reports that she moves along fairly briskly under power. Fuel is contained in two-18 gallon tanks, and an additional reserve tank has six extra gallons--with fuel burn at just about one gallon per hour,Ursahas an incredible motoring range. Notably, the hulls are constructed of solid fiberglass for strength and ease of maintenance, and the deck is cored to add the rigidity needed for respectable sailing performance. Rather than use a trampoline, the 3400 has a solid bridge deck which makes moving around easy and safe. Her double-spreader mast is deck-stepped, and is easy to access for raising/striking sail and reefing. A roller furling working jib and aft-led controls makes the sailing simple, and when it's time to strike the main, there is a built-in stacking sail cover to keep the sail contained! The bow has two opening hatches for anchor and gear storage, and a through-deck hawsepipe and multiple cleats give you versatility for anchoring and docking.InsideLike all catamarans, the interior volume really impresses. You are met with a large central settee with seating for 8-10 around a table with dual foldouts. Air conditioning and reverse-cycle heat keeps you comfortable in a wide range of seasons, and the large, nearly household-sized 120v AC refrigerator has plenty of room for provisions. The owner has opted for a larger refrigerator, but preserved the original propane connections for off-grid refrigeration capability. A TV/entertainment center rounds out the comfortable settee area--a great place for relaxing.To starboard, a long, pullman-style galley with cavernous amounts of storage provides a secure location for meal preparation. A two-basin sink is flanked by an icebox and 2-burner stove with an oven. A microwave rounds out the cooking devices. Aft of the galley is a cabin with a twin-size berth. This cabin has a hanging locker, plenty of ventilation and light, and makes a great sea berth or kids cabin. Forward is access to the master suite with an elevated queen-size mattress, a bureau/dressing area with ample storage, and forward-looking windows with privacy curtains.To port, another aft cabin mirrors its counterpart to starboard, but as you move forward you have a large teak chart table. Proper chart tables are rare these days, so having a place to roll out a full-sized paper chart, or a workbench for repairs is wonderful to have aboard. Best of all, there is more storage underneath and behind--perfect for spares, equipment, or anything that needs a home on board. Forward is the head with standing shower. A unique feature is the on-demand propane hot water system. Lastly, a composting toilet keeps the systems simple and clean, and provides the ability to cruise extensively without the need for regular pumpouts.OverallUrsahas been well loved by her previous owners! She has a Great Lakes Loop trip under her keel, and in addition, has done a fair bit of cruising through most of the Great Lakes. Her decks show her age in places, and small gelcoat cracks can be found, but her hull skins are dry and serviceable based on moisture meter and percussive testing. If you're looking for cruising cat performance in a package that can fit inside a slip in your marina,Ursais worth your consideration!Show More
