Oman Sail welcomed sailors from around the world to Al Mussanah marking a return of sailing events this quarter of the year. The Asian Windsurfing Championships kicked off today at the Barcelo Mussanah Resort, bringing together a select group of talented windsurfers in the Techno293, Techno293Plus as well as the brand-new foiling Formula Windsurfing class, which is making its debut at the championships this week.
Under light winds the predominantly-Omani fleet showcased the depth of local talent across all classes and demonstrated the potential of Oman as a world-class sporting venue after an enforced hiatus.
The 2021 Asian Windsurfing Championships is the first in a busy period for Oman Sail and Al- Mussanah Sports City. Next two months youth and experienced sailors from around the world are set to touch down in the Sultanate to compete in 7 sailing events.
