Pandora is a 2007 composite cruising sailboat, an Aerodyne 47 designed by Rodger Martin. \u00a0Rodger is know for exotic go-fast racers and Pandora, while not as extreme as some of his designs is very cutting edge by cruising boat Standards. \u00a0 Check out his site<\/a> to see what I mean. \u00a0Pretty mean stuff.<\/p>\n

She was built in Finland and many of the interior components were constructed to the standards of luxury aircraft with exotic materials to save weight. \u00a0 Unfortunately, this design was very expensive to build and only three were built with Pandora, as hull #3, clearly the one finished to the highest standards.<\/p>\n

The Aerodyne 47 was designed as a “go anywhere” boat designed to take most and conditions in stride that a cruiser is likely to come across. \u00a0Her profile, with her ample hard dodger certainly shows that her design follows function. \u00a0\"\"<\/a>Her underbody is all about speed with a very clean profile designed to be easily driven. \u00a0 With her huge code “0” headsail she is very fast in light wind. \"\"<\/a>For more information about this terrific design and why we chose her, click here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Our boys, Rob and Chris, haven’t seen Pandora yet and asked us to do a video “tour”. \u00a0This video is a short look at the “down below”.
