Let’s go into the second round of our crowdfunding!
🤑 We at CompassCollective urgently need a second skipper so that we can distribute the work among more people during our deployments. That’s why we are supporting Johannes in getting his sailing license.
🙋♂️ Johannes has already sailed two deployments on the Trotamar III. He is currently completing the practical part of his sailing license so that he has the necessary qualifications to steer our boat during our deployments.
🌌 From 2025, Johannes will be working as skipper and head of deployment for CompassCollective. Support him and us with your donation!
