"Welcome to the world of Shtandart, the 1703 Russian frigate recreated with love and determination!"

The Shtandart Project is a vision come true.

Before you lies the true story of a dream, which was turned
into reality, against all odds. It is an account of young
people taking charge of their destiny, united by a common
goal, providing them with a sense of purpose and direction.

The key mission of the Shtandart Project is to engender
in young people - those who will steer us into the future -
competence, self-esteem and the ability to work in a team.
They will learn to overcome difficulties and to fulfil their
visions.

The building and sailing, more than three hundred years later, of the replica of the first Russian-built man of war, Peter the Great's flagship 'Shtandart' exemplifies this determination and spirit of enthusiasm and good will.

Involvement with the challenges of ship building and sailing provides the means to achieve these goals. On- board, young people of Russia and of the World test themselves together in the challenging conditions of the open seas. In foreign ports, they proudly represent Russia and forge positive links with other countries.
