The frigate Shtandart (Russian: Штандартъ) is a modern replica of the first ship of Russia's Baltic fleet, was launched in 1703 at the Olonetsky shipyard near Olonets by the decree of Tsar Peter I and orders issued by commander Aleksandr Menshikov. The name Shtandart was also given to the royal yachts of the tsars until the Russian Revolution in 1917. Tsar Nicholas II's royal yacht was last of this series.
In 1994 a small group of sailing enthusiasts led by Vladimir Martus started construction of a replica of the ship. Martus developed a new layout of the Shtandart wherein she was built with four bulkheads, dividing her into five compartments. The "Shtandart Project" (a non-commercial organisation dedicated to youth development) launched a replica of the frigate on September 4, 1999.
The replica frigate has three masts and her displacement is 220 tons. She is 25 metres (82 feet) long at her centre line, 27.5 metres (90 feet) long on deck and 34.5 metres (113 feet) long overall. The Shtandart is 6.9 metres (23 feet) wide with a draft of 3.3 metres (11 feet). The ship is designed for speeds between 8-9 knots under sail, and under auxiliary engines required by modern standards up to 15 knots (28 km/h). The original crew complement in 1703 was between 120 and 150, and the modern crew consists of 30 trainees and 10 officers.

Take a look at these photos of a visit on board of the replica in year 2005 -> a very good impression, how a ships deck was looking like in real - also with a belaying plan of the ship
If you want to visit and see this interesting ship, or even to sail with her, she is in France and Spain this year
