- January 20, 2015
The Tour, the Gulf region’s only annual long distance offshore sailing event, will start on 15th February 2015, challenging its participants with it's 760 nautical mile Gulf coast course.
What started as an alternative Middle Eastern event to the Tour de France à la Voile, has now turned into a huge sporting event that attracts some of the best sailing talent in the world, making Oman the sought-after winter venue in the international sailing calendar.
The Tour is building on it's huge successes in 2013 and 2014 with elite GCC and international teams expected to enter this year. The race has rapidly become one of the most popular “warm” winter fixtures of the global sailing calendar and an alluring showcase of everything the Gulf has to offer in terms of state-of-the-art facilities and idyllic sailing conditions.
In 2013 Team AISM, skippered by Bertrand Pacé, eight time winner of the Tour de France à la Voile and helm of two America’s Cup challenges,were crowned champions. But who will be this years winning team?
