Why Ennore is Ideal for Offshore Sailing

As of now, the closest halt is in Puducherry, which requires 16 hours of sailing from Chennai Port. A beginner will find it too hard. But the Ennore centre is just three hours sailing time, and this can build the confidence of budding sailors. — Captain Vivek Shanbhag, RMYC’s honorary secretary
