The Cape Cod Gemini is a planing sailboat, initially built of wood and later constructed of fiberglass, with wood trim. The manufacturer indicates that the molds are still available and that production could be re-started with a fleet order. A total of 150 boats have been completed since 1955, but it is now out of production. The design was initially built by the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company and later by Cape Cod Shipbuilding in the United States.
