The Cape Cod Gemini is an American sailing dinghy that was designed by A. Sidney DeWolf Herreshoff as a day sailer and first built in 1955.[1][2][3][4][5]

Production

The design was initially built by the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company and later by Cape Cod Shipbuilding in the United States. A total of 150 boats have been completed since 1955, but it is now out of production. The manufacturer indicates that the molds are still available and that production could be re-started with a fleet order.[1][4][5][6][7][8][9]

The design is normally sailed with a crew of two sailors, but can accommodate up to five adults.[5]

The design has a hull speed of Шаблон:Convert.[4]
