Winter is almost upon us, and tax time looms! Help us fund much needed materials and tools for this year’s maintenance period. Layup is a time for us to give the Enterprize some TLC. We have sails that need sewing, spars that need tarring and a rig that needs adjusting.
The tall ship Enterprize — a traditionally built & maintained replica of Melbourne’s founding tops’l schooner – faces an uncertain future. In the coming months, our beloved home berth will no longer be available, and the ship must find a new home, classroom & workshop. As our stalwart volunteers prepare to meet this challenge, we’re calling on our extended crew — our community, our supporters, and tall ship enthusiasts near and far – to help us keep Enterprize sailing strong.
Your donation will go directly toward relocation costs, bringing forward key maintenance, and covering the impact that the move will have on our peak season operations, These will run into thousands of dollars beyond what the ship can bring in simply from ticket sales, but with your support, we can continue to deliver unforgettable sailing experiences and the educational programs we are so proud of.
From school children discovering Victoria’s maritime history, to young people developing confidence and leadership on our multi-day voyages and anyone that steps aboard for one hour sail or a 10-day voyage, Enterprize continues to connect generations to the water and to each other. We can preserve this living, piece of history for all and keep the sails of Enterprize full for years to come. Every contribution helps — no matter the size — to keep the spirit of tall ship adventure , learning, and community alive on the waters of Port Phillip Bay.
