C-Forum

Oh, so much fun can be had in a C2.
The Gemini is a nice looking boat. Sharpe edged without much vertical chine.

My husband and I had great fun in our Gemini V C2. We borrowed the mold from Steve Chamberlain with Philadelphia Canoe Club. Built the boat ourselves with Wilmington Trail Club paddlers in 1985. I've attached some pictures. We had a lot of fun ...

The Gemini C2 is definitely one of those under-rated boats - one of the first center hole C2s. The ends were pretty fragile, but if you trimmed a foot off each end, they made great river runners. I was also a big fan of the ...

... which were tight (needed help to get them on); I will likely end up contacting Snap Dragon or someone to make skirts for the boat. I've paddled a Gemini V, and also have a Tomahawk C2. After paddling the Storm Giant I'm seriously considering selling the Tomahawk - it is a great boat, but I'd only ...

I'm in OcoeeLand but heading to Gauley in September

Agreed. I had a similar one (but green) years ago and it was an Apple Line. There is some basic outfitting still in the boat, but it will need to be gone over / fixed, and who knows what else. If I had more time I'd take it out and fix it all up, but too many other things going on right now to play ...

Looks like an Apple line boat

I definitely want!

Let's figure our how you can get it then! I'd like to think I'd be headed to WV / PA later this summer / early fall, but that doesn't look particularly realistic right now. I'll keep my ears open for anyone heading down that way. Alternatively we're finally getting some rain so there might be some p...

I want it!

True enough (Ontario IS big). Unfortunately not close to your neck of the woods - Cornwall, SE of Ottawa.

Here are a few images I took this evening.

Might paddle OK, might need some patches. It's free, don't overthink it;)

Where in Ontario are you headed? (It's a rather big place!) I'm in MN and might be up for making a trek if it's not too, too far. Thanks!

Any pics? I'm in WV

A few years back some folks who know I have a collection of craft dropped off a Gemini; I already have 2 C2's, and decided this one needed to be rehomed. Other friends were interested, but now have more kids and no boat racks... so I'm tired of moving this thing ...

... of you and your husband, I too paddled bow when my wife and I paddled together. Similarly, the first C-2 that my wife and I paddled was also a Gemini (a Gemini III)! From your response I gather that I may have given the mistaken impression I believe a Storm Chaser C-2 would be a bad idea. If ...
