In 1969 Nov 23rd , the Karichal Snakeboat Club was formed, and in December the construction was started. In 1970 September 8th (1146 Chingam 23rd ) between 8AM and 9.15AM, the Karichal Chundan took its first leap in water. The “Jalachakravarthy” Karichal Chundan won the Nehru Trophy 14 times and marked its name in history. The another peculiar feature of Karichal Chundan is whenever it is participated in a race, always won the trophy. It becomes a nightmare for all its fellow participants by achieving the Hatrics in Nehru Trophy twice. |
