The agreement also includes Asyad sponsoring the Oman Sail Youth Program ILCA Class both locally and internationally.
Through this agreement, Asyad joins forces with Oman Sail to achieve excellence in the sport of sailing by enhancing Oman’s presence at the global stage and provide high-quality training for Omani sailors of both genders, enabling them to compete at the highest levels.

Dr Khamis Al Jabri, Oman Sail CEO, said, “We are delighted to be working with the Asyad Group to achieve our shared objectives. Oman has built a well-deserved reputation as an exciting sailing destination and we believe this partnership will further enhance our capabilities by securing a long-running event which attracts sailors from across Oman, the region and around the world to Mussanah Sailing School, providing local and international exposure while also nurturing future talent. Our training programs have empowered a new generation of Omani sailors by offering access to world-class training, equipment and competitions. This partnership will continue to support the growth of both male and female sailors, positioning Oman as a leader in sailing and youth development.”
