Yashwanth
Kangen is part-owner
of the family-owned Maha Mysore Boat Bldg Ent. - a boatyard established by his
father, late Keshav A. Kangen in 1969. He is involved with the yard and wooden boat construction since
the earliest days of the yard. In 1978, having
undergone training, he started fibreglass boat production at Maha Mysore.
He has developed several new types of boats which have proven technically
and commercially very successful. Some of his works are:
|
|
|
Developed fibreglass seagoing canoes which combine
the efficient hull-form of the time-honoured Indian seagoing dugout canoes with
the advantages of modern day FRP. They
have proven very successful in sea fishing along the coasts of Karnataka,
Gujarat, Kerala, Lakshadweep and in Oman – 1978
|
 |
|
Developed the highly successful series of 15.8 mt
long wooden combination outrigger trawlers of 18-day voyage endurance for
operation in the treacherous sea conditions of the Bay of Bengal - 1985
|
 |

Developed
FRP kattumarans that are provided with a unique stabilizing system and several other advantages as
replacement craft for the traditional log-raft
fishing kattumarans of the East Coast - 1990
|

Developed
12 and 14 mt long twin-screw wooden hull tugs for the Lakshadweep Islands Admin.
for ship-to-shore transfer, inter-island ferry, water barge towing and
for missing vessels searching - 1993
|
 |

Built and exported wooden ocean-cruising
motor-sailboats meeting European designer’s requirements - two of these boats
