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.
