Definitely more emphasis is being given by the association (YAI), Government of India for development of the sport in different centres in the country. India has fared well in the Olympics, Asian Games and many youngsters are taking up the sport
Mysoresport: Your views on India’s recent performance in sailing in the Tokyo Olympics?
HM: The performance of the four sailors who took part in the Tokyo Olympics was very good. Vishnu Saravanan was the best performer and did well above our expectations. Ganapathy Chengappa, Varun Thakkar and Nethra Kumaran also performed well and it was a good learning experience for them amongst a World class field.
Mysoresport: Tell us about your exploits in yachting?
HM: I was a Commander in the Indian Navy. The Indian Navy gave me full support, financially, fulfilling my equipment requirements and I represented the country in the Asian Games in 1990, 1993 at Beijing and Hiroshima partnering P.Garg and won bronze medals, in the enterprise class. I and P. Garg also were world champions in the enterprise class in 1993. I am the recipient of Arjuna Award (1993), Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna award jointly with P.Garg during 1994-95, Dronacharya award for coaching excellence in yachting for the year 2002. I was also an International race officer. I served as the Chief National coach from 1999-2006.
Mysoresport: How do you see the future of Yachting in India?
HM: The future of the sport is bright. Youngsters are taking upto yachting and competing in the highest level. For the first time we had four sailors who represented our country in the Olympics in Tokyo 2020 (three men and a woman). With the government and Yachting Association of India promoting the sport, I see a bright future ahead.
Mysoresport: Your advice to the upcoming youngsters who have taken up to the sport?
HM: They should put their effort and work hard for achieving their dream. I give them ten points to follow: 1. Know the rules properly; 2. Seek knowledge from wherever you get it, 3. Should be extremely methodical and scientific in your approach, 4. Willing to do hard work and effort, 5. Realistic goal setting is a must, 6. Should have a routine, 7.Be critical of yourself, 8.
