I have sailed for 20 years in NZ, mainly around Auckland, probably the only Indian in NZ doing so. But I tell you there is no in-equality here. Even the middle and low class can have a boat and go sailing around all the gulf Islands and have as good time time as any celebrity. This sort of makes a joke of the sailing sport and hobby, I would love to have the skill of the tinders(skippers), even learn from them. They should be paid big bucks to compete in the likes of Americas cup for India.
I liked the way film was ended. True indeed.... India has still a long way to go to introduce a true equally in the society. I am wondering when will that real sailor will get its recognition beyond this documentary.
My maternal grandfather was a member, i remember going there a couple of times with him, i miss mumbai for sure, i am indian and was born in mumbai, been in the uk for 5 yrs now. i miss mumbai - this makes me wanna join the club.
Looks like a great club. Thank God there are people keeping it alive. Having a skipper who is not a club member is a pretty common thing though, especially for offshore racing.
