For any wooden ship, regular inspection and maintenance of the underwater hull are not just routine\u2014they\u2019re a lifeline. The sailing ship Shtandart<\/em>, a unique piece of maritime history, is no exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In January-February 2025, we will be lifting Shtandart<\/em> ashore for critical inspection and repairs. This essential dry-docking is an opportunity to safeguard the ship\u2019s seaworthiness and ensure her future on the waves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To accomplish this, we need your help. Our goal is to raise \u20ac10,000 to cover the costs of this vital work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s what your support will help us achieve:<\/p>\n\n\n\n These necessary tasks come at a significant cost due to the price of materials, specialized labor, and essential spare parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since June, Shtandart<\/em> has faced challenging times. The ship has been unable to participate in festivals, welcome visitors, or conduct voyages with trainees. This has left our budget stretched to the limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are calling on the incredible community of Shtandart<\/em> supporters to help us keep this beloved ship sailing. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can donate via PayPal, Tinkoff Bank (now T-Bank), or Stripe\u2014links are provided below. Your generosity will directly support Shtandart\u2019s maintenance and ensure she continues to inspire and connect people through her voyages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thank you from the bottom of our hearts<\/strong>,\n
