Extreme 40 Asian finals in Muscat, early February
The Red Funnel ferry terminal at East Cowes on the Isle of Wight was the last place that I expected to be able to read about Oman. But I did. What's more, Oman Sail Masirah featured on the very front page of All At Sea, a free waterfront newspaper, as the winner of the Hong Kong leg of the Extreme Sailing Series Asia, with a front page photo of 5th placed The Wave Muscat competing.
Oman Sail Masirah also won the second leg in Singapore, with The Wave Muscat coming third.
And that is how I learnt that the third leg of this series will be held off the coast from The Wave to Al Hail, Muscat, 1st-5th February 2010. Lucky you who will be able to watch. Access is free to all to encourage interest in the sport.
It would be nice to see more made of this fantastic event in the media. Watch promotional videos which feature the two Omani crewmen on board Oman Sail Masirah. Are they being shown on Oman TV?
Oman Sail Masirah won last year's iShares Cup in Europe with Oman Sail Renaissance in third place.
iShares will not be renewing sponsorship this year, but the event will be going ahead with a different sponsor.
