“We want to land on the moon and aim for the stars,” 25-year-old Arvind Subramanian.
Arvind, who is the youngest of the four-member Indian team taking part in the J80 world sailing championships in Rhode Island, USA (Oct. 2 to 9), is hopeful of qualifying for the gold fleet, which no Indian team has done before. “We are eager to make a mark (reach the top 10),” Arvind said.
Abhimanyu Panwar, the skipper of the team, and an experienced hand, echoes the view. “We want to crack the gold fleet and enter the top 5 if possible,” he told The Hindu over a zoom call recently.
