[Regnum] The Russian wooden boat "Pilgrim", which was making a round-the-world trip, suffered a disaster off the coast of Malaysia. This was reported on January 7 by the Russian embassy.
The crash occurred on December 20 off the northern coast of Borneo in the state of Sarawak. The diplomatic mission noted that it was aware of the incident and was in contact with Captain Sergei Sinelnik.
"Since the moment information about the incident was received, the diplomatic mission has been in contact with the ship's captain, S. V. Sinelnik. We are providing assistance to the crew members within the framework of our powers," RIA Novosti quoted the embassy representative as saying.
The crew consists of three Russians and one citizen of Belarus. Now all the sailors feel well, one of the Russians has already returned home. The remaining crew members will fly to Russia on January 7.
The Pilgrim was raised to shore by the local shipyard. Its further fate will be decided upon the return of the expedition members to Russia. The boat requires expensive repairs.
The diplomatic mission noted that Russian diplomats remain in constant contact with Sinelnik. They are ready to provide any additional assistance in the context of what happened.
The construction of the Pilgrim was completed in 2017. The 15-meter sailboat was built in Petrozavodsk. Since the start of the round-the-world trip, the team has visited 15 countries.
The boat was to sail through the Indian Ocean to the Red Sea, and from there to the Mediterranean, Black and Azov Seas. The journey was to end in Petrozavodsk.
