The PANGAEA - a blooming vessel

In all of Mike's expeditions, human power and natural means only, were the driving forces. In this expedition, not much has changed. Motors: Pangaea's main 'motors' are 600m2 of sail. Yet because it must navigate the Polar Regions, it also has engines to travel through the sea ice -- but ones with low emissions, keeping true to the expedition's philosophy. For this, she was equipped for optional propulsion with twin robust diesel engines model Mercedes-Benz OM457LA, state-of-the-art in electronic management for fuel injection and emission control and which also comply with rigid standards for environment protection. The marine configuration of those engines was developed by Megatech in Brazil. These engines where integrated into the boat to maintain optimal performance and capability in confronting with the extreme environment conditions expected for navigation. Recyclable Hull: Aluminum was the obvious choice for the main structure of the boat. Technically it performs very well in extreme temperatures. It is very light resistant and durable. Furthermore, aluminum is the most recyclable metal that exists. It can be recycled many times without loosing its qualities. Recycling aluminum uses only 5% of the energy required to produce it. LED Lighting: Sharing the same vision towards environmental protection as Mike Horn, Hong Kong based company, OPTILED has partnered with Pangaea with their energy-saving LED lamps and fixtures, including LED downlights for general functional ...
