PLUS: Khamis’ favourite question will win the opportunity to join The Wave, Muscat team in the much coveted fifth man spot! (Please note, the winner must be able to get themselves to The Wave, Muscat during the Extreme Sailing Series.)
In the space of a mere three years, Khamis Al Anbouri has climbed from being a regular Omani citizen to becoming an internationally respected sailor who competes at the top of the game. His story is an incredible one and he has won the respect of the sailing world with his achievements – in 2010 he achieved the extraordinary feat of winning the Extreme Sailing SeriesTM with his team onboard Oman Sail’s The Wave, Muscat.
Khamis has proved that with the adequate sailing training programs there is no reason why Omanis, or citizens of any other country with limited knowledge of professional sailing, couldn't become some of the best sailors in the world.
The 2011 Extreme Sailing Series TM kicks off in Muscat on the 20th February with action packed racing and shoreside activities for the public to enjoy. Khamis will be back with the team on The Wave, Muscat and Oman Sail will be hosting a LIVE chat with Khamis before the Series kicks off on the 19th February, where you can ask him all your questions.
