Our race teams are
ambassadors
for the nation

The racing aspect of the Oman Sail project is equally important to the goals of Oman Sail as the Sailing School.

It is here where Oman Sail showcases the Omani sailors who have worked their way through the basics of sailing and made commitments to themselves and their country. Racing teams are often found in different corners of the world competing in events which vary in size, style or location but they all tie back in to the cornerstone of the Oman Sail project; Reigniting Omani Heritage.

Whilst racing, the boats and crews are also ambassadors for Oman and work to promote the country as a desirable tourist destination as well as highlight the hospitality and kindness of the people.

Offshore Fleet

The realm of the explorer, the adventurer and the brave, it is this fleet which sees the sailors pitted against the forces of nature for days, sometimes weeks, at a time. The majestic 105' trimaran, Oman Air Majan, leads the fleet with her ocean-crossing and long distance races. The Farr 30s round off the fleet with their shorter offshore routes, most noteably Sailing Arabia-The Tour which sees a fleet of them racing from Qatar to Bahrain, across to Abu Dhabi and back to Muscat via a stop in Musandam.

Inshore Fleet 

The fast and the furious, this fleet is home to the two Extreme 40s campaigned by Oman Sail. Oman Air and The Wave, Muscat spearhead much of the global awareness of Oman as a tourist destination generated through sailing, but have also aided Omani sail-makers and boat-builders to gain valuable experience. Through the demanding schedule of the Extreme Sailing Series Europe and Asia, and now the Global series it also sees a strong contingency of Omani shore support in terms of logistics, events and sponsor activation.

Dinghy Fleet

Although they are the smallest of all the boats which Oman Sail campaigns, they are arguably the most important. It is on these Lasers, Hobie 16s, RS Q'Bas and Nacra F18s where the future champion sailors are found and trained. Oman Sail also actively engages local schools and communities to 'Try Sailing' and it is the RS Q'Bas which give them the safety and confidence to become better sailors and take it up as a hobby as they get older.
