Aquarius Fibreglas have been chosen by the Indian Navy to construct
the Sailing Yacht 'Mhadei' at our Yard in Goa which will make history
by being the first Indian-built yacht to sail around the world single
handed by Cmdr Dilip Donde. The voyage will commence in 2009 and will
follow the old clipper route rounding the three Great Capes and Stopping
at a few ports enroute.
The project is called Sagar Paraikrama which means traversing the oceans.
The design chosen is by the well known Dutch Yacht design house called
"Van De Stadt Design". The chosen design is the " Tonga 56", which
is a 56 ft boat, considered adequate for making what is considered
the most difficult passage through the dangerous Southern Oceans.
