Pandora: A Bavaria 39 for RYA Training on the Solent
RYA Training CentreAccredited courses taught by RYA-qualified instructors
Pandora is the Bavaria 39 at our RYA training centre on the south coast of England. She closely mirrors the type of yacht you would charter on a flotilla in the Mediterranean, so she is the perfect platform for building practical sailing skills.
Strong, well equipped and comfortable, she has three double cabins (one en suite), modern navigation equipment and home comforts, as well as all the safety equipment required for coastal and offshore passages.

There are two aft cabins with a shared heads/bathroom, as well as a larger en-suite bow cabin. The starboard aft cabin is reserved for the instructor. All cabins have full bedding, ventilation hatches and fans, and the saloon also converts to a double berth if needed.
Shared Spaces
The light and sociable interior has a large saloon seating area, a fully equipped galley and a dedicated navigation station. There is 12v charging in the saloon, plus 220v shore power in a marina, and soft bags stow under the seating.

Exterior
The comfortable cockpit has a single steering wheel, a bimini for sun protection and a sprayhood for foul weather. Sailing power comes from an in-mast furling mainsail and a large roller genoa, as well as a storm jib for heavy-weather sailing.
Safety & Navigation
Pandora is fully compliant with RYA and MCA safety coding, and all crew are provided with inflatable lifejackets. She also carries a liferaft, jackstays, multiple VHF radios and gas and smoke detectors: all the safety equipment required for coastal and offshore passages.
