Sailing Upwind Fast on a Gemini 105MC Catamaran, best sailboat for cruising on SF Bay

Gemini 105MC making good speed to windward in light winds; reaching speeds up to 7 knots in only 10-15 knots of wind, between Benicia and Carquinez bridge and breifly beyond into San Pablo Bay. Gemini Catamarans are the most popular cruising cats in the world. The asymmetrical centerboards allow the boat to point high like a monohull and is one of the reasons it is the best all-around catamaran for performance sailing and cruising. The kick up rudders and centerboards allow the boat to sail in shallow water, needing only 18 inches of draft. This is the ultimate catamaran for SF Bay, sailing on one of those rare perfect Zen sailing days.
