Dubai International Marine Club (DIMC) has decided to postpone the third round of the Dubai Traditional Dhow Sailing Race (60ft), originally scheduled for tomorrow, to a later date to be determined.

The decision, made by the race's organizing committee, prioritizes the safety and security of participating captains and sailors, based on weather reports, sea conditions, and the expected marine bulletin in the coming hours.

Dubai International Marine Club has already organized two rounds of the Dubai Traditional Dhow Sailing Race (60ft) this season. The crew of Atlas 12 won the first round, while the crew of Zilzal 25 claimed victory in the second round, held in October and November, respectively.

The Dubai 60ft Local Sailing Championship consists of four rounds in the 2024-2025 marine sports season. The postponed third round will be rescheduled, leading up to the most anticipated event of the season—the 34th edition of the Al Gaffal 60ft Traditional Dhow Sailing Race, which will take place from Sir Bu Nair Island to the Dubai shore.
