World Yacht Racing ForumDec12

Good couple of days at the inaugural edition…was it worth doing? We invested a lot to be there, with a stand, an extreme 40 and a big team…and yes I think it was. To have the calibre and quantity of real key people was good. In a time of lesser economic instability i’m sure brands would get a lot from attending as well - so that one is for the future maybe. Paul’s comments on it are good ones

Some good debates, unfortunately a few sales pitches as well, and good exchanges. Need some serious actions to come from it though…

Sailing in the Middle East?Dec03

Fantastic event last night at the launch of the Oman Sail project, something that OC Group has been consulting on for most of this year now. Check it out, in particular the great video about Omani maritime heritage - sailing didn’t start in Europe…www.omansail.com
