The ReGen Ship: A Pirate Ship, a Chest of Seeds, and a Voyage You Can Win
She is a regenerative pirate ship with a treasure chest of seeds. Reach 150 points and you are in every draw. The maiden voyage sails free, and every 20% of the year that books unlocks another free voyage, up to six.
The ReGen Ship has raised her flag.
She is a regenerative pirate ship, complete with your treasure chest of seeds. She is also a 40-foot land yacht, a 2006 Fleetwood Revolution LE: all wood and stone trim inside, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a galley that cooks real food, a living room big enough for morning yoga, a full washing machine, Starlink overhead, and spring water in her tanks. Built for a couple. Hosts two couples in comfort.
You do not just rent her. You take her on a voyage. Your treasure map is drawn for you by the ship herself: land projects to serve, springs to drink from, waterfalls, food forests, and the places where past crews planted their seeds. You sail Cascadia visiting the most beautiful places on earth in reverence and regeneration.

The chest is a chest of seeds
Everywhere you go, you plant. The treasure chest holds seeds chosen to turn pine plantations back into the food forests they once were, the great abundance this land knew before. Eat local fruit, save the seeds, and when you sail home to her anchorage at The Sanctuary in Ashland, plant your harvest in the healing hole. A food forest grows from every crew that ever sailed.

She is the flagship of the ReGen Fleet
The ReGen Fleet is a caravan of ships that moves from land project to land project. Where it lands, it builds natural homes, plants food forests, heals waterways, and turns pine plantations back into the abundance they once were. And we host music festivals, dances, and regular communal campfires, and so many other ways to bring community and love together. Then it moves on and does it again. The model is inspired by the large RV caravans that travel New Zealand together, a rolling community that shows up, sets up, and shares a place for a while. We point that same spirit at regeneration.
!A caravan of ships gathered together at a land project
Ten percent of every voyage buys the ship herself into community ownership over time, a model that repeats for every future ship. As a ship joins the fleet, that 10% goes to work buying out the owner and every existing token holder, through open purchases on the open market. The owner is the dominant token holder, so the owner effectively sets the market rate. Community ownership grows by buying in at a fair price, voyage by voyage, and the person who brought the ship is made whole for her full value.

The maiden voyage sails this August. You can win it.
Her first crews are not chosen. They are earned. The Maiden Voyage Quest is open to everyone, and here is the part worth reading closely, because it is designed so that all of our interests point the same direction.

Here is how it works, and it is built so that all of our interests point the same direction.
Complete the quest. Real regenerative actions, each one verified. It takes at least a week, so no one has to rush.
You're in the draw. Every crew who completes it goes in the same draw. Ties are settled at random.
Bookings unlock more. Every 20% of the year booked draws another free voyage, and you're in every single draw.
The maiden voyage sails free right away, to the first crew across the 150-point line. After that, the free voyages grow with the bookings: every 20% of the first year that books draws one more, up to six at a fully booked year. Drag the ladder to see how it grows.
The free-voyage ladder:
- Launch: the maiden voyage sails free (1 of 6)
- 20% booked: 2 of 6 sail free
- 40% booked: 3 of 6 sail free
- 60% booked: 4 of 6 sail free
- 80% booked: 5 of 6 sail free
- 100% booked: all 6 sail free
Every draw is weighted by points, and every crew in the draw has a shot at every draw. Your points are your raffle tickets, so every point above 150 raises your odds. A crew can win once. You can also enter by nomination: if the ReGen Civics and CORE teams approve you, you are in the draw with no quest required.
The more the fleet sails, the more of us sail free.
Why it works this way
!Community gathered around a table and campfire at a land project at golden hour
This is the whole idea. Reach 150 points and you are in every draw, and every voyage that books brings the next free one closer for everyone in the pool. The prizes grow with the fleet.
So share it. Bring a friend. Refer a land project. Plant a seed on the map. The ship sails this August, and the more the fleet sails, the more of us sail free.
