Four Young Women From Oman Sail’s Women’s Sailing Programme Are Part of the All-women Crew Led by British Sailing Star Dee Caffari That Will Compete in EFG Sailing Arabia – The Tour 2017 This Month… Here’s a Look at How These Women Are Breaking Barriers in This Competitive Sport…
The women on new German entry DB Schenker have a unique challenge at EFG Sailing Arabia - The Tour 2017: their main aim is to inspire women from across the GCC to follow in their footsteps.
British sailing star Dee Caffari returns to the Tour for the fourth time as skipper of the all women crew and despite putting together a hot shot team, comprising 50 percent Omani sailors, her ambitions are geared more to making a difference than reaching the podium. For the 2017 edition, Caffari’s all women team is sponsored by the international logistics company DB Schenker who in August last year were official logistics partner for the Olympic sailing teams from Austria, Norway, Portugal, and Switzerland at Rio 2016.
She has selected four Omani sailors including Ibtisam Al Salmi, one of the Middle East’s first professional female sailors as well as Marwa Al Khaifi and Tamathir Al Balushi, both sailing instructors for Oman Sail, who competed in EFG Sailing Arabia – The Tour with Caffari last year. In addition, three of Caffari’s team are making their debut in EFG SATT and they include a fourth Omani Hajar Al Omrani, a member of Oman Sail’s thriving Women’s Sailing Programme, and Hannah Diamond, a former member of the British Olympic sailing squad who campaigns a Nacra 17.
