Members of 21 Engineer Regiment's AGC ( SPS ) Detachment are showing the remainder of the Army the way by participating in what will be the first offshore sailing adventure training expedition to take place in the waters off Kerala, India.

Under the direction of Expedition Leader Sgt David Hughes, a crew of 8 military clerks from the Adjutant General Corps will sail the Malabar Yacht Clubs yacht ROSA - a 42' junk rigged ocean schooner, and the first ever pleasure yacht to be built and registered in India - in what it is hoped will be the first of many adventure training expeditions sailing the historic Kerala coastline.
