The organizing committee at Dubai International Marine Club is continuing its preparations to organize the club’s first event in 2024, scheduled this Friday and Saturday. The event will feature two traditional dhow sailing races under the current sports season 2023-2024, in conjunction with the world's most beautiful winter campaign.

Marine sports enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating a heritage festivity, beginning with the second round of the Dubai Traditional Dhow Sailing Race (22ft) on Friday, followed by the Dubai Traditional Dhow Sailing Race (60ft) on Saturday.

The two events have garnered significant interest from boat owners, captains, and sailors due to their importance. The 22ft dhow sailing race serves as an academy for future champions in this sport, while the 60ft Dhow sailing race sees the strongest boats competing in a 20 nautical miles race course.

The organizing committee has announced the early completion of the registration process for participation through the club’s website. Registration for the 22ft Dhow Sailing Race will close tomorrow (Thursday), while the registration process for the 60ft Dhow Sailing Race will continue until Friday, just before the announcement of the entry list.

It is worth noting that Dubai International Marine Club organized the first round of the Dubai Traditional Dhow Sailing Race (60ft) last October, where the boat no. 25, "Zilzal," was crowned as the champion of the race, led by the sailor Marwan Abdullah Al-Marzouki. The crew of the boat Al Tabr 55, led by Mohammad Suhail Al Muhairi, secured the second place, while the crew of the boat no. 211 Namran, led by Ali Abdullah Al-Marzouki, finished in the third position.
