Naarei (The Heron) was the 1st boat launched by Pondy Nautic last week. It was a soft launch for doing the checks before the grand opening with bookings for clients.
With this post we give you a brief history of the "Naarei".
The word "Naarei" comes from the Tamil word for the word Heron(the bird). The inspiration for the name comes these birds..... these elegant Herons which we saw flying day after day in the backwaters while we constructed Pondy Nautic offices. However Carolina Angler is the name given by the architect who was inspired by the US southeastern style fishing boats.
It took us approximately 1 year to build this boat.
The horsepower of "Naarei" is at a huge 250 HP however this is necessary for fishing purposes & to quickly go and come back from faraway spots.
Last week's launch was a way to check and verify the Boat's engines as they cannot be checked on the dry land since they are cooled by the water only.Such trials are necessary to check if the engines are working properly. Additionally Propellers and electronic devices are also checked and adjusted as necessary .
The general behavior of the boat is also verified ,with and without speed as one would do with a new car. These are also necessary for the safety aspect of the boat.
All in all it was a hugely successful soft launch. Watch out for our Official opening of the bookings in the coming month.
