INSV Tarini departs New Zealand for double-handed circumnavigation expedition

The Indian Naval Sailing Vessel (INSV) Tarini set sail from Lyttelton Port, New Zealand today, marking the beginning of the third and longest leg of its historic circumnavigation journey. The vessel is now en route to Port Stanley in the Falkland Islands, covering a staggering distance of approximately 5,600 nautical miles (about 10,400 kilometers). This leg of the expedition will also take Tarini to its southernmost point, approximately 56 degrees South.
