Firebird Oyster sailing yacht from the water

Sailing through a pandemic: On board Oyster sailing yacht Firebird with owner Andrey Yakunin

Related articles, superyacht directory.

The owner of sailing yacht Firebird had his sights set on a daring high-latitude double, taking in both the Arctic and Antarctic Circles, but when the pandemic hit he had to rethink his plans. Andrey Yakunin tells BOAT about how his ice tour turned into a tropical trek.

The 27.1-metre Firebird may have the outward appearance of a traditional Oyster sailing yacht but her owner, Andrey Yakunin, has never sought a traditional sailing programme. Yakunin is a skiing fanatic, so the yacht has spent much of the past five years in Norway’s Lyngen Alps peninsula, providing the ultimate “chalet” for those wanting to ski pristine powder directly from the boat. However, in 2019 he decided it was time to push Firebird’s credentials one step further, seeing her take to the northern latitudes of Svalbard before heading all the way south to the icy realms of Antarctica.

More than a year’s planning had gone into the route, as well as extensive work on the yacht to ensure she was up for the challenge. “We have worked very hard for three years to adapt Firebird so that she is ready for the programme we are undertaking,” explains Yakunin. “We have Kevlar rudders, which are ice proof, we obviously have the heating systems on board, and we have also developed a Kevlar nose cone, which we can put on the bow to protect her from drift ice and slush.” Unfortunately, none of this preparation could mitigate against a global pandemic, which would see lockdowns imposed and borders closed.

The first part of Firebird’s itinerary went exactly to plan as she headed for her maiden trip to Svalbard in May 2019. “We left Norway in the middle of April and went to Svalbard as early as we could to take advantage of the ski conditions,” says Captain Peter Madej, who was on board to assist with this section of the trip. Svalbard provided different skiing opportunities than Yakunin and his family are used to in Norway. “The main difference was that the days were much longer, so we could do things like midnight skiing,” says Captain Madej. “You also have to take extra care to not bump into the wildlife, especially bears."

The yacht was predominantly based near Longyearbyen until the ice opened up and allowed her to safely head further north. “We had a nice shot at going the maximum north we could,” says Captain Madej. “We managed to make it to almost 81 degrees so that the owner could experience the proper sea ice.” For Yakunin, the new terrain didn’t disappoint. “When we went past the main towns and commercial routes the sheer vastness was incredible,” he says. “The family and kids on board got to do some pretty exciting descents.”

The wildlife was also plentiful. “You can spend hours and hours just watching the wildlife,” says Captain Madej. “There is a family of belugas close to the town of Pyramiden and we managed to spend a couple of hours barely moving through the water surrounded by them. There were polar bears as well, of course, but the real highlight was seeing a blue whale. It wasn’t something I was expecting to see; it was magnificent to see the biggest animal on earth.”

From Svalbard, Firebird made her way back to the UK before heading down to the Canaries and across to the Caribbean for the winter season. Yakunin was unable to join for the crossing but returned to the yacht to cruise St Lucia and the Grenadines. In March, as Covid-19 started to hit the headlines, he joined Firebird to partake in the Superyacht Challenge Antigua. “My wife and I flew out for a week of racing, so we had a wardrobe of two pairs of shorts and three T-shirts,” he says. “We won our class, which was very nice. What I didn’t realise at the time is that we would remain unbeaten for a whole year as it was the only superyacht racing event that would occur.”

The pandemic then started to take a firmer grip on the world and Yakunin is the first to admit he underestimated the impact it was going to have on his global voyage plans. “All the travel restrictions started to come in and my wife and I thought how long can it last? A week? Maybe two?” he recalls. Deciding that they were better off in Antigua rather than quarantined in London, they opted to stay with the yacht. “Hindsight has shown that my prediction was slightly optimistic,” he admits. “We got stuck there and the whole of the Caribbean went into major lockdown. On the plus side, it gave us a good chance to explore the island inside and out, to the point where I think we could now write our own travel guide!”

Alongside exploring the island – including diving and testing the yacht’s equipment with local expert Leigh Cunningham – Yakunin and Firebird’s team were desperately trying to come up with a plan so that they could still reach Antarctica. “We spent effectively a month in Antigua making itinerary after itinerary as more of the world was shutting down,” recalls Yakunin. All options were considered, including heading down the Atlantic coast via Brazil and relocating from Antigua directly to Easter Island. However, eventually the realisation began to set in that visiting Antarctica wasn’t going to be possible. “When [polar sailing expert] Skip Novak announced he was abandoning his trip that was a pretty clear message,” says Yakunin. “If he was saying it is unreasonable, then who were we to try and prove a point against that?”

However, with hurricane season fast approaching, Firebird needed to move somewhere. At this point Plan C was hatched, and the yacht was prepared to head for French Polynesia. As part of the preparations, relief captain Daniel Hardy flew out with a delivery crew to meet the yacht for the next stage of the voyage. “It was quite tricky to get out there,” he recalls. “We weren’t allowed to transit through Miami, so we ended up having to fly to Paris and then to Guadeloupe. We then used a private plane to get us from Guadeloupe to Antigua.”

With Hardy and the new crew safely on board Firebird left Antigua, unsure of where or when she might next be allowed to return to shore. “I can say a lot of countries that we sailed past where we were not allowed to land,” says Yakunin. “We sailed past the ABCs and weren’t allowed to land, we sailed past Colombia and were not allowed to land, we sailed past Panama and were not allowed to land.” Fortunately, the yacht’s agent was able to negotiate for Firebird to stop for a refuel and to take on provisions prior to transiting the Panama Canal. “We were put in a quarantine dock with police tape and guards around us. The provisions were delivered to a pontoon and then after 20 minutes we were allowed to go the pontoon to pick up the provisions,” explains Yakunin.

After transiting the canal, the crew were faced with nearly 4,000 nautical miles of ocean to reach the Marquesas Islands. The journey is nearly double that of an Atlantic crossing, but good winds helped their cause. “It’s downwind the whole way basically and the conditions were great,” says Captain Hardy. “We got the opportunity to sail for a quite a few days under the Code Zero and spinnaker; it was lovely.” The passage was an intense experience for the owner and crew, and the longest most of them had ever undertaken. “Of course, 25.9m is a vast boat but it is still quite a confined space,” says Yakunin. “I think all the time we had invested into team building and making sure everyone had similar interests paid off in spades. We also had a designated solo spot on the bow, so when you got sick and tired of everyone that was where you could go.”

The wind did drop over the equator zone, which was expected, but this gave the owner and crew the opportunity to fully appreciate the moment. “It was the first time for me and a lot of the crew crossing the equator, so we performed the inaugural ceremony and paid homage to Poseidon as we crossed,” says Captain Hardy. “We actually had a complete shutdown of wind when we were crossing, so quite a lot of the crew swam across the equator, which was cool.” During the passage Firebird also ticked more than 50,000 nautical miles since her launch in 2016. This milestone was another event that was celebrated by everyone on board despite it happening in the middle of the night.

After another crew change, Yakunin and his wife were able to head off to explore French Polynesia. With restrictions starting to ease, some friends and family were also able to fly in. “We did hiking in the Marquesas, we did diving in the Tuamotus and then we did diving and hiking in Tahiti and Bora Bora,” says Yakunin. The boat relied on local guides to show the best of what French Polynesia had to offer and for the first time, Covid-19 worked in their favour. “We were lucky we were able to experience it when it was not packed,” he says. “In some of the diving hotspots sometimes we were the only dive group there. Our dive guide said it was the first time in his life that he had seen the Tiputa Pass in Rangiroa with just one boat there. It was pretty amazing.”

As autumn began to approach the hopes of continuing the journey westwards began to fade, with a cruise straight to Japan the only available option. “We decided that there is a fine line between stupidity and persistence and that the journey had probably run its course,” says Yakunin. Fortunately, a transporter ship was heading back from Tahiti a few weeks later and Firebird was able to be safely returned to the UK.

Despite loving his foray into tropical waters, it is still the high latitudes that hold the real allure for Yakunin. “You don’t need to fight for a barbecue spot on a beach. You are more concerned whether a polar bear is going to join you,” he jokes. With that in mind, Firebird is currently undergoing further ice preparations in Southampton before she heads north for another season of her ski and sail programme in Norway. She will then move onto Iceland and Greenland before hopefully making the crossing to Alaska. “We are all excited to start sailing again,” says Yakunin. “Hopefully this time we won’t be taking any wrong turns which end up with a 5,000-mile detour.”

Firebird by Andrey Yakunin: Arctic cruise turned tropical

The owner of the sailing yacht Firebird decided to make a non-trivial journey. The geography of the route stretched from the Arctic to the Antarctic.

The pandemic has made its own adjustments. This is the story of Andrey Yakunin and his yacht Firebird about how his ice tour turned into a tropical one.

Firebird plans

Firebird looks like the most common Oyster sailing yacht. However, its owner Andrey Yakunin never aspired to a traditional sailing program. 

Yakunin is a big fan of skiing, so the yacht has spent most of the last five years on the Lyngenfjord peninsula in Norway.

However, in 2019, he decided it was time to expand the capabilities of Firebird. Andrey has a grandiose travel plan.

The route was planned in more than a year, and a lot of work was done on the yacht. Everything to make sure she can handle the task. 

“For three years we have worked very hard to adapt  Firebird,  so that she is ready for the program that we are going to implement, ”explains Yakunin. 

"We have Kevlar rudders that are ice resistant, we obviously have heating systems on board, and we also designed a Kevlar nose cone that we can put on the nose to protect it from ice drift and slush." 

Unfortunately, none of these preparations have been able to mitigate a global pandemic that would have entailed blocking and closing borders.

The beginning of the way

The first part of the route  Firebird  went exactly as planned. The boat and the crew passed this part of the way back on their maiden voyage in May 2019. “We left Norway in mid-April and went to Svalbard as early as possible,” says Captain Peter Madey, who was on board to help with this section of the route. 

The yacht was mainly based near Longyearbyen. “We had a good chance to go as far north as possible,” says Captain Madei. "We managed to reach almost 81 degrees." 

Yakunin was not disappointed by the new area. “When we walked past major cities and trade routes, the vastness was incredible,” he says. 

Wildlife was also abundant. “You can watch wildlife for hours,” says Captain Madei. “A family of belugas lives near the town of Pyramiden. We managed to spend a couple of hours in their company. Of course, there were also polar bears. But the most striking event was the sighting of the blue whale! I didn't expect to see this; it was great to see the largest animal on earth. "

Firebird Path South

From Svalbard  Firebird  returned to the UK and then headed to the Canary Islands and the Caribbean for the winter season. Yakunin was unable to join the ferry, but returned to the yacht to cruise in Saint Lucia and the Grenadines. 

In March, when Covid-19 started to make headlines, he joined Firebird. ,  to take part in the Superyacht Challenge Antigua. 

“My wife and I flew in for race week, so we had two pairs of shorts and three T-shirts in our wardrobe,” he laughs. “We won in our class and it was very nice. At the time, I didn’t realize that we would remain unbeatable for a whole year, as this was the only event in superyacht racing that could happen. ”

Pandemic and Antigua

Then the pandemic began to take over the world more and more. Yakunin was the first to admit that he underestimated the impact she should have had on his plans for a global trip. 

“All travel restrictions started to work, and my wife and I thought, how long will it last? A week? Maybe two? ”Yakunin recalls. 

Deciding that they would be better off in Antigua than quarantined in London, they decided to stay on the yacht. “Looking back, I realized that my forecast was somewhat optimistic,” he admits. 

“We were stuck there and all the Caribbean islands were in serious isolation. On the other hand, it gave us a good chance to explore the island inside and out. To the point where I think now we could write our own guide! "

On the islands, the team wasted no time - diving and testing became the main activities. The team tested the yacht's equipment with a local expert, Lee Cunningham.

Yakunin and  To team boats desperately trying to figure out a route to Antarctica. “We actually spent a month in Antigua, making route after route,” Yakunin recalls. 

New routes!

All options were considered, including driving along the Atlantic coast through Brazil and crossing from Antigua directly to Easter Island. However, in the end, the realization began to come that a visit to Antarctica was impossible. 

“When [polar explorer] Skip Novak announced that he was giving up the trip, it was a pretty clear signal,” says Yakunin. "If he said it was unreasonable, then who are we to try to prove it?"

However, with hurricane season approaching, Firebird needed to move somewhere. At this stage, Plan C was developed and the yacht was prepared for sailing to French Polynesia. 

As part of the preparations, Mate Captain Daniel Hardy flew out with the crew to meet the yacht for the next leg of the voyage. “It was quite difficult to get out of here,” he recalls. 

“We were not allowed to transit Miami, so we had to fly to Paris and then to Guadeloupe. Then we took us by private plane from Guadeloupe to Antigua. "

Long Road Firebird

With Hardy and a new crew aboard, Firebird left Antigua, not knowing where and when she would next be allowed to return to shore. “I can show a lot of countries that we sailed past, but where we were not allowed to stop,” says Yakunin. 

"Colombia, Panama, USA - and nowhere were we allowed to enter the port." Fortunately, the yacht's agent managed to negotiate that  Firebird  stopped to refuel and took provisions before crossing the Panama Canal. 

“We were placed in a quarantine dock with police tape and guards around us. The food was delivered to the pontoon, and then after 20 minutes we were allowed to go to the pontoon to pick up the food, ”explains Yakunin.

After crossing the canal, the crew had to overcome almost 4,000 nautical miles of the ocean to get to the Marquesas Islands. The journey is almost double that of crossing the Atlantic, but a good wind helped their cause. 

“Mostly all the way downwind and conditions were great,” says Captain Hardy. This transition was an ordeal for the owner and the team, and for most of them it was the longest journey. 

“Of course, 25.9 meters is a big boat, but still a rather limited space,” says Yakunin. “I think we invested in the team all the time and made sure that everyone had common interests. We also had a dedicated nose room for those who were tired of everyone. You could sit there alone. "

A little rest before the end of the journey

After another crew change, Yakunin and his wife were able to set off to explore French Polynesia. When the restrictions began to ease, some friends and family were also able to fly in.

As autumn approached, hopes of continuing westward began to fade, and the only option available was to cruise directly to Japan. 

“We decided that there was a fine line between stupidity and persistence and that our journey was probably over long ago,” says Yakunin. Fortunately, a few weeks later, the transport ship was returning from Tahiti and the Firebird was able to safely return to the UK.

Despite his love for warm tropical water, Yakunin is still a fan of northern latitudes. “You don’t have to fight for a barbecue spot on the beach. You are more worried about whether a polar bear will join you, ”he jokes. 

With this in mind, Firebird is currently making further preparations in Southampton before heading north. There Yakunin wants to spend another season of his ski and sailing program in Norway. 

She will then travel to Iceland and Greenland. “We are all very happy to set sail again,” says Yakunin. "Hopefully this time we don't make any wrong turns, resulting in a 5,000 mile detour."

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

First refuelling for Russia’s Akademik Lomonosov floating NPP

!{Model.Description}

firebird london yacht

The FNPP includes two KLT-40S reactor units. In such reactors, nuclear fuel is not replaced in the same way as in standard NPPs – partial replacement of fuel once every 12-18 months. Instead, once every few years the entire reactor core is replaced with and a full load of fresh fuel.

The KLT-40S reactor cores have a number of advantages compared with standard NPPs. For the first time, a cassette core was used, which made it possible to increase the fuel cycle to 3-3.5 years before refuelling, and also reduce by one and a half times the fuel component in the cost of the electricity produced. The operating experience of the FNPP provided the basis for the design of the new series of nuclear icebreaker reactors (series 22220). Currently, three such icebreakers have been launched.

The Akademik Lomonosov was connected to the power grid in December 2019, and put into commercial operation in May 2020.

Electricity generation from the FNPP at the end of 2023 amounted to 194 GWh. The population of Pevek is just over 4,000 people. However, the plant can potentially provide electricity to a city with a population of up to 100,000. The FNPP solved two problems. Firstly, it replaced the retiring capacities of the Bilibino Nuclear Power Plant, which has been operating since 1974, as well as the Chaunskaya Thermal Power Plant, which is more than 70 years old. It also supplies power to the main mining enterprises located in western Chukotka. In September, a 490 km 110 kilovolt power transmission line was put into operation connecting Pevek and Bilibino.
