Dubai Team Abu Dhabi will send 15 sailors to the 15th Mussanah Race Week in Oman, joining over 100 competitors from seven nations. The squad, from the Abu Dhabi Marine Sports Club Academy’s modern sailing program, will race in Optimist and ILCA dinghy classes at Barceló Mussanah Resort from October 18 to 21. Organizers have confirmed entries from the UAE, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, Egypt, Tunisia, and India.
Six Abu Dhabi sailors compete in Optimist, while nine others will contest the ILCA 4, ILCA 6, and ILCA 7 divisions. The Abu Dhabi team aims for strong finishes against international competition, with results based on accumulated performances across scheduled races. Mussanah Race Week, established in 2011, focuses on youth sailing and competitive development, combining on-water competition with coaching opportunities.
The regatta coincides with the third Arab Women’s Sailing Championship, expected to include about 30 female sailors. Both events are held at the Mussanah Sailing School, a Category A high-performance center recognized by the Asian Sailing Federation.
