Alma Doepel

In January 2009, the renewed Board of Sail & Adventure Limited decided to bring Alma Doepel back to Melbourne for the extensive restoration required for return to operation as a sail training ship. The City of Melbourne, Places Victoria and Lend Lease were instrumental in providing berthing and workshop areas and local companies including Hempel Australia have provided in-kind contributions. Generous private donors continue to support the project and our many volunteers have recorded over 30,000 hours of work towards returning this unique and historic vessel to an operational level.

The project continues today with a target completion date of 2016. Please consider becoming part of our support team and see Alma Doepel once again working as a youth sail training ship in Port Phillip.
