Oman Sail Academy
To ensure the long term success of the Oman Sail project, it is imperative that a constant stream of new Omani sailors are given the opportunity to get on the water with the best instructors available. There are currently a batch of young Omani's doing Yachtmaster courses in the UK who will then come back to Oman to be the backbone of the academy. Oman has several thousand kilometres of unspoilt coastline which can be developed into centres for sail training. Muscat will see the first academy with recruitment already in the final stages.

Famous quotes containing the words sail and/or academy:
“Light boats sail swift, though greater hulks draw deep.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“I realized early on that the academy and the literary world alikeand I dont think there really is a distinction between the twoare always dominated by fools, knaves, charlatans and bureaucrats. And that being the case, any human being, male or female, of whatever status, who has a voice of her or his own, is not going to be liked.”
—Harold Bloom (b. 1930)
