INS Tarangini, the Sail Training Ship of Indian Navy, began an eight month voyage on 4 May 2015, to participate in the annual Tall Ship Races and other events at Europe, organised under the aegis of Sail Training International. During these eight months (4 May – 3 December 2015), the ship will travel approximately 17,000 miles under sails.
<p>The year's Tall Ship Races were conducted primarily off the coast of United Kingdom, Norway, Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands. Tarangini participated in the Tall Ship Race from Kristiansand (Norway) to Aalborg (Denmark). She also participate in associated sail events such as Sail Rostock, Sail Bremerhaven in Germany and Sail Amsterdam in Netherland. About 300 sail ships of various sizes from all over the world are expected to participate in this year’s events.

The ship’s voyage to 17 ports in 14 countries will showcase India to the world and demonstrate the Indian Navy’s global reach. The theme for the voyage, codenamed LOKAYAN -15, has thus been chosen as “Tacking for a Broader Reach”.
