The Indian Naval Sailing Vessel (INSV) Tarini, with a six-person crew, made it back to Goa harbor after a successful 17000-nm trans-ocean inter-continental journey. This is another important moment in maritime history. To reach this goal, it took the ship and its crew 188 days of good and bad weather.
Their names were written in gold letters to show that they had done this. During the trip, the team members fixed things themselves when they needed to. This is a great example of innovation and creativity. The INSV Tarini started its famous journey from the harbor in Goa, India. It went to Rio de Janeiro via Cape Town and then back to Goa.
Let’s take a look at the features of INSV Tarini
Indian Naval Sailing Vessel Tarini is the second ship for the Indian Navy. It was built at the Aquarius Shipyard in Goa.

She joined the Indian Navy on February 18, 2017, after a long series of tests at sea went well.
The ship is called Tarini after the famous Hindu temple Tara Tarini, which is on the bank of the river Rushikulya in Odisha and is dedicated to Adi Shakti.
The boat is 56 feet long and is made of a sandwich of wood and fiberglass. Southern Spars made the mast of the ship, which is about 25 meters tall.

The INSV Tarini has six sails, including the mainsail, stay, genoa, downwind, and storm sails, which give it the power to sail through rough weather.
The keel for the INSV Tarini was laid on March 27, 2016, at the Aquarius Shipyard by Manohar Parrikar, who was the Defense Minister at the time. The ship was given to the Navy before its planned date.
Several changes were made to the INSV Tarini based on what was learned from running the INSV Mhadei.
The boat has advanced features and cutting-edge technologies, like a Raymarine navigation suite and satellite connections. A Monitor windvane has also been added to the ship in case it needs to be steered in an emergency.
