Friends search for missing yacht headed for Trinidad

LoopTT

The public is being asked for help in providing any information on a yacht which left Saint-Martin in June and was due to arrive in Trinidad but has not yet arrived. 

Facebook user Andrey Khokhlov shared a Facebook post on July 13, 2019, asking if anyone had seen them after they left the French territory of Saint-Martin, allegedly bound for Trinidad and Tobago. The two sailors onboard are 48-year-old Evseenkov Igor, 48, from Russia and 23-year-old Idiiatullin Danil, from Ukraine, according to the Facebook post.

Khokhlov expressed concern that perhaps the boat may have been attacked by pirates while in waters between Venezuela and Trinidad and Tobago.

They left St Martin on June 16, 2019 and were last seen at Tyrell Bay, Carriacou three weeks ago, but have not been seen since, he said. 

“We are looking for our friends. They left from St Martin, Marigot bay to destination of Trinidad and Tobago 16.06.2019. The sailboat is a white ketch, with two masts, it’s a F&C 44, name of the boat ARAWAK, registered in Sweden.”
