A 1997 Gemini 105M catamaran named Windward Express, 35.5 feet long with a 14-foot beam, is toured and its owner Connor — a 23-year-old Navy veteran — describes his solo passage from Port Charlotte, Florida to St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands.Watch The boat's three selectable drafts are its defining feature: 5.5 feet with centerboards down, 3 feet retracted, and 18 inches with rudders folded, allowing anchorage in water inaccessible to most cruising boats.0:23 Power comes from a 27-horsepower Westerbeke stern-drive inboard-outboard; the drive unit lifts clear of the water, eliminating zincs.0:34 Solar is 640 watts on the main panels plus a 180-watt forward panel.2:02 The interior includes a composting toilet, filtered fresh and salt water at the galley sink, a non-gimbaling stove, and a full-width forward stateroom.16:06 Connor's route ran down Florida's west coast, through the Keys to Marathon, across to the Bahamas via the South Bight of Andros in June, through Exuma, south of Long Island through shallow cuts, and on to Samana marina before reaching St. Thomas, where he enrolled in school.20:53 The Gemini fits a standard monohull marina slip, costing $20 a night at Samana.29:16 The boat also carries Starlink.8:40
