Horner reviews the thinking behind this design, its several versions, its construction methods, and its history, including pricing history. He identifies design or construction problems that have been found in older boats. Comments include: "The Gemini is a moderately priced modestly constructed catamaran. Used Geminis generally offer excellent value, outstanding accommodations, and solid sailing performance."
