The Tri-Services All-Women Sailing Expedition team returned home today after completing a 1,800-nautical-mile international voyage to Seychelles. The expedition marks the first-ever international open-sea sailing mission by an all-women team from the Indian Armed Forces.

Aboard the indigenously-built Indian Armed Services Vessel ‘Triveni’, a 56-foot sailing yacht, the team of 11 women officers from the Army, Navy and Air Force navigated nearly two months of challenging open-sea conditions.
