Designed by Van Peteghem and Lauriot Prévost (VPLP), the 145-foot
catamaran Gemini will upon her completion take the title of "world’s
largest sailing cat." Under construction at Derecktor shipyard in Bridgeport,
Connecticut, Gemini is being built in aluminum using Derecktor’s
well-learned aluminum-working techniques.
Gemini’s three decks are topped by a 174-foot rig. The
flybridge has twin helms and a sun deck with spa pool, grilling and dining
areas. The yacht will house a 28-foot dive tender, which disappears into its
cross deck, a hydraulic swim platform astern, a fully outfitted dive locker
in her port hull transom and a bay for a 15-foot tender in her starboard
transom. Her interior is the work of Michael Leach Design, winner of the 2004
ShowBoats Award for the best motor yacht interior. Delivery is expected in
2007.
