On Aug 12, 2018, at 2.30 p.m. the 'Akadaemik Boris Petrov' saved the skipper of the German 12.m-yacht 'Godewind' which had capsized between Poland and Kaliningrad about 32 miles off the Hel peninsula in 6-8 Beeaufort wind and wave heights between five and eight meters. He had managed to hold himself in the rig, while a second man was lost over board. All attempts to save him failed, and finally the yacht was disabled by a rope in the propeller. A search by helicpter and ships from Poland and Russia was suspended on Aug 14. The 'Godewind' was later towed to Gdansk for repairs.
