Mussanah Race Week ends with a celebration of success and great sailing

Young Omani sailors produced impressive performances at Mussanah Race Week with a win or a podium place finish in every class. The 10th edition of the region’s largest international youth sailing event saw 121 sailors representing 13 countries gather at the world-class Mussanah Sports City venue for seven days of intensive coaching and international standard racing. This year, the top level event also incorporated the high-profile 2020 Techno Asian Championships, with windsurfers travelling from Asia to compete.

When racing finished on Sunday the celebratory prize-giving ceremony recognised the achievements of some of the world’s best youth sailors, under the patronage of His Excellency Sheikh Rashid bin Mohammed Al Saadi, Majlis Al Shura Representative in Mussanah. He stressed the importance of this annual event in promoting sailing amongst the youth in the region and encouraging more young Omanis to compete at higher levels, “It was a pleasure to see so many young sailors enjoying our beautiful country, particularly the young Omani sailors who excelled in every class. Congratulations to all the winners”.

The results in the Laser 4.7 class saw Oman’s Al Motasem Al Farsi take four race wins on his way to first place ahead of Norway’s Erick Boen and Ali Ahmad from Kuwait. UAE sailor Dhuha was the top girl.

The 53-strong Optimist class – the largest fleet out on the water off Mussanah Sports City – was won by the UAE’s Othman Ak, with Thai Optimist champion Weka Bhanubandh second and Oman racer Elyas Al Fadhali also winning a place on the podium.

The Junior Optimist category was won by Turkish sailor Tayfun Turk, ahead of the UAE’s Saif and Oman’s Tamim Al Balushi. The Turkey team also shone in the girls classification with Ege Naz Aydin and Deniz Ozgun leading the way ahead of Norway’s Emilie Nilsen.

And further demonstrating the international appeal of Mussanah Race Week the Laser Radial class was headed by another member of Norway’s strong team, Tobias Birkeland, who finished just ahead of Oman’s Abdul Malik Al Hinai, with Bahrain’s Dawood Abdulla third.

Young racing sailors from Egypt, Kazakhstan, Kuwait and Qatar were also among those competing in the usual ideal winter sailing conditions offered in Oman.

“As ever Mussanah Race Week offers an unrivalled opportunity for young sailors to come together, develop and test their skills, and take part in friendly but competitive racing against their peers from around the world,” said Rashid Al Kindi, Director of Sailing at the event’s organiser Oman Sail.

“This year has been no exception and it has again been a great pleasure to welcome so many visiting sailors to Oman. We hope they have enjoyed the experience and taken some real benefits from the expert coaching and exhilarating racing we have been able to offer.”

The 2020 Techno Asian Championships – which also attracted windsurfer racers from Japan, Hong Kong and Taipei – saw some intensive racing.

Oman’s Ali Al Sarhi won the Techno 293 Youth class ahead of Hong Kong’s Yuk Kiu Yukie Fung – who was also the top girl – and Omani teammate Abdulrahman Al Mujaini. 

The Techno 293 Plus Youth category was won by Asgar Kikabhoy from Hong Kong ahead of Oman’s Ali Al Omrani and Abdullah Al Sahri, with Abdulmajeed Al Hadrami winning the Open category.

Windsurfing enthusiasts were also able to witness a special showcase for the Starboard iQFoil– the official windsurfer for the 2024 Paris Games – with star Argentinian coach Gonzalo Costa Hoevel, the 2018 Professional Windsurfers Association’s (PWA) Foil World Champion, leading demonstrations and training sessions.

At the event, the Asian Techno class representative, Piotr Oleksiak, said: “Being part of Mussanah Race Week has been a fantastic experience and all the competitors and coaches would like to thank Oman Sail and Mussanah Sports City for making it possible.

“The conditions here in Oman are excellent and the coaching opportunities and the well organised racing have been exceptional.”

As part of Mussanah Race Week three days of world class coaching, both on and off the water, were followed by four days of competitive racing.

World’s best sailors to compete in Oman in 2021

The first global Olympic sailing class event post the 2020 Tokyo Games will be held in Oman, with Oman Sail selected to host next year’s 49er, 49erFX and Nacra World Championships at Al Mussanah Sports City.

Oman’s global event hosting capabilities has been given a huge endorsement, with Oman Sail selected to host the World Championships for three Olympic classes – 49er, 49erFX and Nacra – in 2021.

The 2021 World Championships will be a truly global event. Teams from all over the world will journey to the Sultanate to be hosted at the world-class Al Mussanah Sports City in November next year in a week-long festival of sailing.
Oman Sail CEO David Graham said: “Oman has an impressive history of hosting international sailing events, and we are proud to add the 2021 49er, 49erFX and Nacra World Championships to that list.
“The superb facilities in Mussanah, which are the legacy of the 2010 Asian Beach Games, have been a successful venue for many sailing events including the Laser World Championships, the RS:X Worlds, Laser Radial Championship and the IODA Asian and Oceanian Championships in 2019.
“It was Al Mussanah Sports City and Oman’s capability to host environmentally friendly world-class events that set our bid apart. I would like to congratulate all my Omani colleagues for the hard work that went into preparing this bid, and I look forward to seeing our outstanding and professional race management team, which is 100 percent Omani, put together yet another impressive event next November.”
Oman Sail Head of Marketing Aisha Al Mahrami said: “Compiling the bid document was a team effort but it is easy writing about our beautiful, welcoming, and peaceful country.

“The late His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al Said, God Rest His Soul, established Oman Sail to reignite Oman’s maritime heritage and it is this mission that drives us. We are delighted we won; it is for him.”

The news that Oman will host the 2021 49er, 49erFX and Nacra World Championships has been applauded by the global sailing community. President of Asian Sailing Federation Malav Shroff said: “I was highly impressed with Oman Sail’s hosting capabilities during the 2019 International Asian and Oceanian Optimist Championships, which saw almost 200 of the world’s best young sailors compete at the Al Mussanah Sports City. It’s an Olympic standard sailing venue and the organisation was of the highest possible standard.

“The conditions were also perfect; the winter months in Oman, which are characterised by blue skies, warm weather, and a consistent windspeed of around 14 knots, are just made for sailing.”

As well as showing the world the culture and rich history of Oman, the 2021 World Championships will be the first time for many people in Oman to see current Asian 49er Champions Musab Al Hadi and Waleed Al Kindi in action. The pair are currently in Australia competing at the World 49er Championship, their final event before they attempt to become the first Omani Sailors to qualify for the Olympic Games in Abu Dhabi next month.

Speaking from the World Championship in Geelong, Australia, Musab said: “Waleed and I are fortunate to compete all over the world but there is nothing like racing at home in front of our family, friends, and supporters.

“The facilities both on and off the water in Mussanah are incredible. I look forward to showing the world how beautiful Oman is in 2021.”

Mussanah Race Week concludes in Oman with young sailors celebrating their success

Young international sailors have celebrated their success at the conclusion of the ninth Mussanah Race Week regatta in Oman. The increasingly popular event at Mussanah Sports City attracted 125 sailors, aged from eight to 16 years-old, from a total of 21 countries. The racers took advantage of Oman’s ideal warm weather sailing conditions to take part in an intensive three-day pre-regatta coaching clinic before four days of racing in the Optimist, Laser, RSX and Techno 293 windsurfer classes.

Promising Thai sailor Weka Bhanubandh took top spot in the strong Optimist class ahead of his compatriot and teammate Bowonnan Chanram, with Oman’s Mohammed Al Qasmi in third. Young sailors from Italy, Germany, Portugal and the UAE also took top-10 places. Norway’s Tobias Birkeland won the Laser Radial division with Faris Al Bakri from Qatar and the UAE’s Mohammed Alhammadi filling out the podium. Jean-Marc Gardette from the Seychelles posted a succession of first places to win the RSX class from Oman’s Abdulmajed Al Hadrami and Hammad Al Mujaini.

Meanwhile, local Omani sailors saw success in the Techno 293 windsurfer class, with Ali Al Sarhi and Mohammed Al Balushi finishing ahead of Nikola Stipcic from Croatia. And also making the most of familiarity with local conditions, Omani racers swept the board in the Laser 4.7 class, with Abdulmalik Al Hanai winning ahead of colleagues Almotassem Al Farsi and Alaa Al Omrani.

Speaking at the closing ceremony David Graham, CEO of event organiser Oman Sail, told the many sailors, coaches and parents: “Since the very first Mussanah Race Week we have emphasised the importance of camaraderie between sailors because while the competitive racing is a major part of the event, at its heart this is a chance to learn from the coaches and from each other, and form bonds that will last throughout a career on the water and beyond.

“Over the course of the week, everyone will have had the chance to practice on the water and test themselves against their peers. Today we acknowledge the winners and recognise the progress made by everyone. The lessons learned here will be used in waters around the world and the new techniques taught this week will be invaluable in competition at every level.”

Many of the sailors taking part in Mussanah Race Week will be welcomed back to the same venue in September for the Optimist Asian Championships and Oceanian Championships, which will also be hosted and run by Oman Sail. Oman Sail’s event project manager Feras Asqul said: “The past week serves as ideal preparation for the championships later this year. We look forward to welcoming the returning sailors and to continue to grow the event as a platform for local and international sailors to learn, compete and gain valuable experience in the perfect sailing environment offered by Oman.”

The quality of the coaching was also highlighted by Rashid Al Kindi, Oman Sail’s national team manager. He said: “We pride ourselves on providing an event which offers world-class coaching to young sailors who take part in Mussanah Race Week. This year sailors have benefitted from the expert knowledge of Belgian Olympic Team Coach Xavi Carvalho and Slovenian National Coach Dragan Gasick.”

Mussanah Race Week again proves it is a big attraction for young international sailors

Muscat, February 18th 2019: Young sailors from around the world are gathering in Oman for the start of the internationally popular Mussanah Race Week where racing begins on Saturday. The ninth edition of the Oman Sail organised youth regatta has attracted 151 sailors – aged from eight to 16 years-old – to Mussanah Sports City for four days of racing in the Optimist, Laser, RSX and Techno 293 windsurfer classes. While many of the sailors are using the event as the perfect preparation for the 2019 Optimist Asian and Oceanian Championship, which will be held at the same Mussanah venue in September, most of those taking part are also taking advantage of an intensive three-day pre-regatta coaching clinic led by world-class professional racing coaches.

The opportunity to develop and improve racing skills in both theory and then practice has led to entries from 20 countries, namely Croatia, Seychelles, Germany, Azerbaijan, Egypt, Denmark, Portugal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Ireland, Italy, Serbia, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine and Norway, as well as the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and a strong team from Oman.

“Mussanah Race Week has always offered a unique opportunity for young sailors to come to Oman and develop their talent in ideal conditions with world class coaching and facilities at Mussanah Sports City,” said Feras Asqul, Oman Sail’s event project manager, “this year will be no exception and we hope all the sailors will enjoy the competitive racing and the camaraderie which is such an important part of the experience. For those returning for the Optimist Asian and Oceanian Championship later this year, it is a great chance to prepare in the local wind and weather conditions they will face then,” he added.

The pre-regatta coaching camp includes both on-the-water sessions and lectures ashore. This year they will be led by the Belgian Olympic team coach Xavi Carvalho, and Slovenian national coach Dragan Gasick. Supported by sponsor the Oasis Water Company, Mussanah Race Week will see racing until February 26th.

Rush expected as popular Mussanah Race Week 2019 opens for registration

A nautical rush to Oman is expected as registration opens for the internationally popular Mussanah Race Week in February next year. The ninth edition of the Oman Sail organised youth regatta will again offer a mix of competitive but friendly racing and world-class coaching based at the Millennium Resort Mussanah, with 250 competitors expected.

Mussanah Race Week will be held from February 19th to 26th with classes for Optimist, Laser 4.7, Laser Radial, RSX and Techno 293 windsurfers.

Last year young Omani sailors distinguished themselves in competition with sailors from numerous countries, including Germany, Monaco, India, Pakistan, Thailand, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Hungary and Croatia, taking wins or top-three finishes in four classes.

“Mussanah Race Week has developed and improved every year since it was first held in 2011,” said Salma Al Hashmi, Oman Sail’s Chief Marketing Officer, “and Mussanah Sport City has proved to be a popular hub and fantastic host with superb infrastructure and facilities.

“Mussanah Sports City has already hosted a lot of international events, such as the Laser World Championships, the Women’s Laser World Championship and the RS:X World Windsurfing Championships, and Oman Sail will host the Optimist Asian and Oceanian Championship there in October 2019 after winning the bid last year. Mussanah Race Week 2019 will be an ideal test event.”

The regatta will feature four days of racing following three days of coaching and a practice race, with training camps for each class run by world-class international professional racing sailors. The camps will include on-the-water sessions focused on boat speed, boat handling, starts and race tactics. Lectures ashore will cover race strategy, rules, fitness, nutrition and psychology.

Young Omani sailors seal success at international Mussanah Race Week dinghy regatta

Omani sailors celebrated a series of strong performances at the Mussanah Race Week international dinghy regatta, sealing their success in the concluding races on Wednesday. In a competitive fleet which featured 172 of the best emerging international youth sailors, Omani racers – many part of Oman Sail’s Omantel Youth Programme – won two of the regatta’s five categories, and earned podium places in two more.

Hussain Al Jabri took three race wins on his way to a clear victory in the 27-strong Laser Radial fleet, finishing eight points ahead of Germany’s Roko Mohr with Bahraini sailor Daoud Abdullah a further point behind in third. Ibtisam Al Salmi was the leading female Omani sailor, taking 16th place.

There was also a Sultanate victory in the Techno Plus windsurfer class, with Mohammed Al Balushi taking a narrow two-point win ahead of Hungary’s Richard Geiger. Al Balushi’s teammate Abdullah Al Sarhi completed the podium in third place in the 13-strong fleet.

Oman’s Ali Al Sahri and Mohammed Ali Sahri had to give best in the Techno Under-15 category, finishing second and third respectively behind dominant Hungarian sailor Anna Morvai who won seven of the 11 races.

It was a second spot on the podium too for Abdulmalik Al Hinai in the Laser 4.7 fleet. He put in a solid performance to split a strong contingent from the UAE, with Saif Saeed Almansoori winning the class and Ahmed Younes Alhammadi third.

With many of Oman’s best Optimist sailors away competing in the Monaco Optimist Team Race event, the door was left open for visiting international sailors in the large and highly competitive 78-strong fleet.

German 2017 national Optimist champion Mic Mohr – brother, incidentally, of Laser Radial racer Roko – led from the start and took the class win ahead of Italy’s Alessandro Cortese and Kuzey Kumlali of Turkey. The best result for an Omani sailor was achieved by Salim Al Alawi who finished 33rd.

The success of the eighth edition of the Oman Sail organised Mussanah Race Week was welcomed by H.E. Said Hamdoon Al Harthi, GoH. He said: “What I have seen far exceeds my expectations. To bring all these young sailors from around the world and provide them a platform to learn and develop is an exemplary effort worthy of praise. It is very important that such a successful event grows even bigger and continue the journey”.

Oman Sail’s Youth Program Manager, Mohsin Al Busaidi, added: “Mussanah Race Week is designed to give young sailors a balanced mix of training with high-profile experienced coaches and racing in perfect conditions in the waters of Mussanah.

“Conditions during the four days of racing were not consistent in wind speed or currents, which posed good challenges for the sailors to try and overcome. We are happy that all the teams and sailors have enjoyed the activities.”

Mussanah Race Week attracted some 60 visiting sailors – along with coaches and parents – to the world-class Omani facility at Mussanah Sports City.

Before the three days of racing began the competitors were able to take advantage of top-level coaching sessions, some run by French racing star Sidney Gavignet, a long-time associate of the Oman Sail initiative.

The pre-race training included on-the-water activities focussed on boat speed, boat handling, starts and race tactics, while shore-based sessions covered the racing rules, race strategies, sailing fitness, nutrition, and sports psychology.

The mix of coaching and racing was applauded by visiting team leaders. UAE Team Manager Khawla Al Hamadi said: “The organization of this event is outstanding in all aspects from the accommodation, to the training sessions and the races over the last four days. We are happy to have won the Laser 4.7 title and another podium place in the class. The event was also a great platform to meet the sailors and coaches from other countries and share experiences with them.”

It was a sentiment echoed by Omilayla Suhail, manager of the Pakistan team. He added: “It was a beautiful event and all our sailors enjoyed it and everything went perfectly smooth for us. We are a relatively new team so the best part for us was the three days of coaching sessions. We are already looking forward to next year”.

Competition gets underway at Mussanah Race Week as international fleet takes to the water

Mussanah Race Week 2018 has got underway with a total of 172 of the best young international sailors in fierce competition at Mussanah Sports City. In early races several Omani sailors – many part of the Omantel Youth Programme – were demonstrating their emerging talent in the five highly competitive classes.

Mohamed Al Balushi was leading the Techno Plus fleet at the end of the second day, with Abdullah Al Sahri in third after leading the fleet in the opening day. Meanwhile, Abdulmalik Al Hinai was third in the Laser 4.7 class, hard on the heels of the two leading sailors from the UAE. In the Laser Radial, Omani sailor HUSSAIN AL JABRI is leading the fleet of 28 sailors.

The Optimist fleet – the largest class with 94 sailors entered – was led by Italian racer Alessandro Cortese after five races in two days. The leading Omani sailor in the second day stages was Salim Ali Al Alawi in 30th place, though several of Oman’s best Optimist sailors are away racing in Monaco.

Before racing the competitors were able to take advantage of top-level coaching and workshop sessions, some of the supervised by Mohsin Al Busaidi, Oman Sail Youth Programme Manager.

“It is nice to see young sailors who are motivated and it is nice to see the mix of countries as well,” said Mohsin. “In the briefings we had sailors from several countries, and the more experienced guys were helping out the younger ones, and it was good to have been involved in that.

“I always like to share experience so it is very interesting. Oman Sail want to rekindle sailing in Oman and that is starting with the kids, they are the real light in the candle you could say.

“There are some good sailors and some beginners, and some of the best Omanis are in Monaco at the moment. The coaches are very important and they help get the right dynamic and making sure they are going in the right direction.”

The many Omani sailors will be hoping to match their strong performance in 2017 when they won four gold medals in the seven category finals.

Pre-race training included a focus on boat speed, boat handling, starts and race tactics, while shore-based sessions covered the racing rules, sail fitness, nutrition, race strategy, and sports psychology.

The eighth edition of Mussanah Race Week has attracted some 60 visiting sailors – along with coaches and parents – to the world-class Omani facility at Mussanah Sports City. Among the foreign entries are sailors from Hungary, Croatia, Germany, Greece, Italy, the UAE, Poland, Portugal, Thailand and Turkey.

On the evening before racing started the sailors, coaches and accompanying parents, were invited to attend a themed Arabic Nights event to experience first-hand Omani hospitality and traditions.

Mussanah Sports City, meanwhile, has a growing international reputation for hosting top-line events, having held the 2013 Laser World Championship and 2015 Laser Radial World Championship.

French racing star Sidney Gavignet, a long-time associate of the Oman Sail initiative, will be running several of the workshop sessions during the week.

“We are looking forward to welcoming the many young sailors who will be joining us for what I am sure will be another exciting and rewarding Mussanah Race Week,” said Mohsin Al Busaidi, manager of the youth programme.

“The regatta is a marvellous opportunity to bring youthful sailors from around the world together in a friendly and competitive environment.

“The extensive expertise of Oman Sail in organising events like this, combined with the unrivalled facilities provided by Mussanah Sports City and the many workshop and coaching sessions laid on, make this an event that will be enjoyed and valued by all who take part,” he added.
