Fyodor Konyukhov is going to go around the world three times on a large yacht, TASS reports. According to the famous traveler, he wants to build a ship, the length of which will exceed 75 meters. During the triple round-the-world expedition, he specified, nine world records should be beaten at once. The yacht will not go to any port during the trip.
Fyodor Konyukhov believes that the journey will take a little more than two months - 80 days in total.
The record holder spoke about his plans during his meeting with the residents of Sevastopol. He came to the capital of the Black Sea Fleet of Russia to join the expedition, which is heading for the crash site of the battleship Novorossiysk. Konyukhov is scheduled to dive to the bottom of the Sevastopol Bay. The dead ship is at a depth of 17 meters.
In addition, the expedition to the Yellow Sea, where the battleship Petropavlovsk sank, is being prepared. It collapsed in 1904 during the war with Japan. During the explosion, the famous Russian naval commander Admiral Stepan Makarov and artist Vasily Vereshchagin died. The main task of the expedition will be to raise their remains from the bottom of the sea for further reburial in Russia. The remains of Admiral are going to be buried in the new temple, which the Ministry of Defense is building. The journey should take place next year. The question of its conduct is being discussed with the Chinese authorities now.
Fyodor Konyukhov added that he likes traveling through the air no less, including by balloon and by plane. And he is also planning new projects.
