In honor of the 300th anniversary of Yekaterinburg, a group of enthusiasts will travel around the world 
ocean yacht. This was reported on the Yekaterinburg.rf portal.
The head of the city, Alexei Orlov, took part in a briefing to discuss the concept of the project, within which several enthusiasts will go on a long voyage. They will move on a ship made at the Uralkhimmash plant from high-strength aviation titanium.
It is noted that it will take at least six months to agree on a multi-day route, to form the final crew and equipment of the ship for a long journey.
