Do you dream of sailing the high seas in a sailboat that combines comfort, safety and solid build quality? "Pandora" - a rare Germania 40 ketch - is just that. Designed by German designer Uwe Bartels and built at the renowned Ta Chaio shipyard in Taiwan, this boat represents a time when craftsmanship and seaworthiness went hand in hand. Originally developed for long-distance cruising by German Günter Voigt in the 1970s, the boat was designed with one purpose: to provide a safe and comfortable setting for adventures across the oceans. She is built to last, not for racing, but for relaxed and stable sailing with plenty of space and comfort - and with a weight of approximately 12.5 tons loaded, she is safe in the water. "Pandora" is build number 10 out of only 10 units produced, making her a very rare sight - especially in Danish waters. The boat was purchased in 2011 and has since undergone an extensive renovation. Today, she is extremely well maintained and has been updated with modern navigation equipment and comfort facilities that far exceed the standards of when she was built in 1980.
