Public Presentation: INSV Tarini: Circumnavigating The Globe Other events...
It is our pleasure to invite you to a public lecture and evening reception with INSV Tarini, in partnership with India's Consulate General in Perth. INSV Tarini is the second sailboat of the Indian Navy and is currently home to the first all-women crew from India to attempt a circumnavigation of the globe. This all-women crew are travelling more than 21,600 nautical miles on a vessel measuring 17 metres long and 5 metres wide. The crew are trained to withstand everything from equipment breakdown to extreme temperatures and emergencies. Fremantle, Western Australia is the first stop on this historical voyage that started in Goa in early September 2017 and we are delighted to host the crew for a public presentation and welcome reception. India's Consul-General to Perth, Mr Amit Kumar Mishra, will deliver opening remarks and will introduce the crew from INSV Tarini to deliver a public presentation. They will explore their journey so far through the Indian Ocean and the cultural and scientific significance of their circumnavigation, particularly regarding the collection of metereological, ocean and wave data. Following the presentation, please join us on our balcony for an evening reception to meet the crew. Drinks and light refreshments will be served. We look forward to welcoming you. Warm regards, The Perth USAsia Centre
