War takes away a lot: hope, pride, our loved ones… It changes us. Whoever experienced it knows that living in fear makes you revalue certain things. 

However, sometimes we cannot benefit from historical treasures. 

One of them is Straznik Poranka (the Morning Watchman). The legendary Ryszard Kuklinski aka Jack Strong gave it to the Polish nation for training and educational purposes for young citizens. Today the historic landmark yacht, a symbol of our history, is about to collapse and needs to be rebuilt. 

A 57-year-old Morning Watchman is falling apart. It was the first yacht built in post-war Poland and has slowly become forgotten. Soon, there is nothing but a few rotten planks left and a memory of people who used to sail it. 

The historic landmark yacht was given by a legendary Ryszard Kuklinski aka Jack Strong to serve Poland and its citizens. Today, the symbol of our history is about to collapse and needs urgent attention.  

Together with the Jack Strong Foundation and Siepomaga, we feel obligated to fulfill a historic mission. We will save the yacht that will sail with a young, fearless crew! 

We would like to use it both for training purposes and free cruises, e.g., for the beneficiaries of Happy Kids Foundation from The Children’s Home and foster parents. 

Why do we want to rebuild the yacht? Our responsibility is to repay the debt to the heroes who fought for our country many years ago. It is in our common interest to protect the yacht that we inherited from Ryszard Kuklinski. 

The Morning Watchman connects the past, the present, and the future. According to Jack Strong’s will, the yacht was meant to shape future generations. Thousands of young Polish people used to train here! Let’s offer this opportunity to modern society! 

Let’s save the yacht and a memory of the legend! 

You can become a part of that. You can keep the legend of Jack Strong alive! 

Thanks to you, young generations can gain a once-in-a-lifetime sailing experience! 

Please fight with us! We have GREAT POWER together. Thanks to you, our mission, which may seem lost, can be successful! 

Every little donation matters. All you need to do is offer your support. We know that you care about young people and a second chance and believe that YOU HAVE the POWER TO MAKE A REAL CHANGE.
