VIDEO | As INVS Kaundinya arrives in Muscat, Commodore Prashant C Menon says, "So I am Captain Prashant Menon. I am the officer in charge of the Ocean Sailing Node. So, in this expedition, my responsibility was to identify the crew, select the crew from the large group that maybe had provided for selection. And thereafter, to train them. What do you have to realise that this 1500 year old design. That means today there's nobody living who can teach the team to how to sail. For that matter, even I didn't know how to, train the people. So we undertook various iterations. We selected the team, we sent them to learn carpentry, we sent them to learn riggings, splicing, making these, eyes, and... Everything associated with difficult seamanship activities were there. So, we, the first three months, we, the team was there at the yard, learning from the craftsmen, artisans who have made this deck. Thereafter, we learned how to dock the boat, lifting, the mast can be removed. We removed the mast, got the boat dry-docked, checked the underwater inspection, and thereafter, by September, when monsoon had come down, its intensity had come down. It started affecting us. We did several days at sea sailing the boat and understanding the specifics of a boat of this kind. It is very unique. You see, today's boats have the capability of sailing upwind. Upwind, in the sense, if the wind is coming directly from ahead, of course, you can't take a sailboat right ahead, but you can do a zigzag and having its square mast, it's very different. She needs wind from behind. It's a downwind, so training to sail the boat, turning the direction of the boats, how to hoist, when to hoist, there are two masts. What is the team coordination? All these things were something new to all of us. And we went through this process."
