100 Days in Dry Dock – and Counting! ⚓️
STS Leeuwin II has officially spent 100 days in dry dock – and what a journey it’s been! Our crew and contractors have been hard at work giving her the care she deserves – from hull treatments and safety upgrades to engineering checks and fresh finishes.
Every day brings us closer to seeing Leeuwin back on the water, ready to deliver unforgettable adventure voyages for young Western Australians. 🌊
Stay tuned as we head into the final stages – the countdown to relaunch is on! 🚢✨ If you can’t give today, please share this post to help spread the word. Together, we can set sail again!
Every donation, big or small, helps us return Leeuwin to the water and keep life-changing voyages alive.

As we prepare to begin the careful process of derigging the STS Leeuwin II, we wanted to share some onboard images that show the extent of the damage caused by the recent incident. While it’s difficult to see our beloved ship in this condition, we are fully committed to bringing her back to life and sailing once again.
The masts, rigging, and spars have been severely damaged, but thanks to the support of our community, we are hopeful that the Leeuwin will rise once more. 🛠️
If you’d like to support our restoration efforts, please consider donating to the Phoenix Fund. Every contribution helps us take one step closer to seeing the STS Leeuwin II back on the open seas.

I had my 16th b’day on board Leeuwin during a voyage up to Dongara. Was amazing and one of my lifelong memories.
