Description The paper highlights the economics of plank built boats .Ctamarans using sails
operating gill nets at selected centres representing different regions of Tamil Nadu coast.
Data on daily operational costs and earnings of catamarans and plank built boats operating
various types of resource specific gill nets for different seasons have been collected for a
period of one year.
The average initial investment of a plank built boat with sails operating different
types of gill nets varies from Rs.27000 to 60000 realising annual gross returns of Rs.55000
to 66,000/-. The average capital investment of a catamaran operating gill net ranges from
Rs.6,5OO/- to Rs45000- depending upon the number of gear used for different seasons
realising annual earnings 01 Rs.21,OOO/- to Rs.1.15 lakhs. The key economic indicators
such as initial investment, rate or return, cost 01 production, net returns etc. have been
worked out which indicate that utilsation of wind energy is most suitable and economically
viable for the traditional fishermen operating gill nets along Tamil Nadu coast.
