New Delhi: Sailor Abhilash Tomy will no longer participate in the Golden Globe race. Abhilash Tommy said in New Delhi that he will participate in other races. “The journey to the Golden Globes this time was more difficult than last time. The size of the boat was small. There were memories of the accident in 2018. Therefore, the boat was very stressful. When I crossed the place where the accident occurred earlier, it changed a lot.”- Abhilash Tommy told Manorama News.

“I am very happy to have completed the journey following eight months. The less technology there is, the closer we are to the seas we travel on. When I traveled the world in 2012, I proceeded by using a laptop and looking at the screen. This time there is none. We need to see if the wind has changed, if the direction of the engine has changed to the north, if there are problems with the boat. While doing all this, the closeness with the sea will increase a lot. It is not possible to know the sea more than this.

“When the accident happened in 2018, there was a lot of support from the Navy. When he was in the hospital, the Prime Minister called and spoke. When all this happened, I felt that I was not alone, there were many people with me. Received support from family members in India. Then it seemed possible to go to the sea once more. Now go home and meet all the family members. Body weight has come down a lot, health should be restored.” – Abhilash Tommy responded.

Abhilash Tommy, who returned to India following participating in the Golden Globe Pawanchiota competition, was received by Navy officials at the airport. Abhilash Tommy’s boat Bayanat reached the French coast on Saturday, April 29 at 10.30 am. Abhilash finished the race in second place. Abhilash Tommy is the first Indian and Asian to finish at the Golden Globes. Abhilash started its journey in September 2022 from the western French port of Le Sable Delon.
