Visakhapatnam: Indian Navy sailing vessel Mhadei with an all-women crew was flagged off from Goa to Cape Town, South Africa by Rear Admiral Monty Khanna, Commandant Naval War College, in a ceremony held at the Boat Pool of INS Mandovi, Goa on Wednesday. The vessel is scheduled to reach Cape Town on December 15. The boat would then participate in the ‘Cape to Rio Race’ (Cape Town to Rio de Janeiro) which will start from Cape Town on December 26, said an official release issued here.
Speaking on the occasion, Rear Admiral Monty Khanna said, “Sea faring is our profession and there is nothing better than long distance ocean sailing to learn the fine nuances of seamanship and understanding the oceans.
The women officers have already sailed to Mauritius in the peak of monsoons and we are confident that the experience gained will hold them in good stead during the long voyage.”
The present voyage of INSV Mhadei consists of four legs which includes Goa to Cape Town, Cape-town to Rio de Janeiro (the actual race) and the return back to Goa.
