25 countries

20 X 2024 we started our doublehanded circumnavigation
A journey is our biggest dream. We are Mikołaj Nowak and Julia Kapłon, we are in our 20s and we want to promote sailing, do amazing things, and inspire our audiences to reach for their dreams.
Cruise assumptions
The main goal of the initiative is to circumnavigate the world on a sailing yacht.
Accompanying goles:
- Technical preparation of the yacht (carrying out repairs and necessary work to adapt the yacht for such a demanding voyage),
- Promotion of sailing as a leisure activity,
- Overcoming own weaknesses, comprehensive personal development, learning responsibility, planning, resourcefulness and independence,
- Proving that with consistent work you can realize your fondest dreams,
- Giving other young people the inspiration and motivation to reach for their dreams,

Your support is really important!
Dzięki Waszemu wsparciu udało nam się zakupić wiele części oraz dokonać wielu modyfikacji.
Money We use the money received from people supporting our project primarily to properly care for and equip our yacht for such a long journey.
We've already purchased:autopilota; nową kotwicę główną (Rocna 25kg); dinghy (czyli ponton) wraz z silnikiem zaburtowym; komplet nowych żagli (w tym żagli sztormowych oraz lekkich); odbiornik internetu satelitarnego, by móc dzielić się naszą wyprawą z Wami; wyposażenie bezpieczeństwa; system odsalania wody; panele słoneczne oraz bank akumulatorów, by uczynić jacht samowystarczalnym energetycznie.
Logistics, logistics and more logistics!
Whether we're talking about trips to the parts store, port fees, canal fees (horror story – the Panama Canal costs around $2,000!), or unexpected engine service needs, all of this requires funds, often considerable ones. That's why your support is so important to us, as it will help us get a little closer to realizing our dreams!
We have prepared many interesting forms of reciprocation!
By supporting our drop, you can receive a postcard from us, join a closed group on our Facebook, sponsor a loved one with a special paradise birthday wish, join us for a cruise part and much, much more!
Our boat
The first seagoing yacht in our fleet couldn't have had an easy task, so this year Water Lilly will undergo a number of modifications, before setting off on a journey around the world.
