A nautical rush to Oman
The year will kick off in style for the T293 and T293Plus classes as we head over to Mussanah Sports City, Oman for the Asian Championships (27th Feb – 1st Mar 2020).
Mussanah Sports City has previously hosted a lot of international events, such as the RS:X World Windsurfing Championships, and Oman Sail has a perfect spot to have high quality racing in great weather. Mussanah Sports City is situated 60km from Muscat International Airport and is designed as a purpose-built venue, capable of hosting Olympic standard events.
Although Asian Titles will only be awarded to competitors from an Asian nation, the event is open to competitors coming from all continents. This being a great opportunity for those wanting to start off the season early at a regatta, where the stakes are high.
Media and tracking will be provided for those following the event at home.
