I used to sail a Pandora, who's previous owner regularly sailed solo to Holland from Scarborough in her (210 NM) and only had one problem in ten years. The rudder broke but that's a common Pandora problem that you will doubtless have come across. He steered by the sails into the lee of Flamboro' head, made a jury rig and continued! I have just done the jester in a 20ft Kingfisher but I would have just as happily taken the Pandora if I still had it. Make sure you have a good, loud kitchen timer to wake you up and go for it!
