Wind Rises sailing community launched in DP World’s Mina Rashid Marina in Dubai
Wind Rises sailing community launched in DP World’s Mina Rashid Marina in Dubai. Sailing experience on performance yachts will take place at port every day, and will be available to sailmen of different skill
Despite yachting being one of the world’s most popular sports, starting to sail has always been a challenge. Wind Rises is the solution to this problem. The community lets you book a sailing session and become a part of an adventure right now. User just needs to check out the available time and choose an instructor. Wind Rises is aimed to make sailing more open and affordable, to engage newcomers living in big cities and gathering new audiences.
Hamza Mustafa, Chief Operating Officer of P&O Marinas, said “The arrival of Wind Rises in Mina Rashid Marina is a new offering in the world of watersports and adventure activities. As part of our vision to elevate sailing in Dubai and the region, we have created a conducive environment with state-of-the-art amenities and services to give the perfect platform for companies like Wind Rises to support sailing enthusiasts and drive the yachting industry to new heights.”
UAE as one of the most developed and rapidly growing multicultural countries doesn’t have an affordable sailing activity in the region, though entertainment, sports and a healthy lifestyle is in great demand in Dubai now. Wind Rises sailing base will be located in the heart of Old Dubai at the mouth of the Creek.
The fleet consists of FAREAST 28R racing keelboats that combine the experiences and accumulated techniques of European Design Office Simonis Voogd and Far East Boats. It is a well-designed, easy to handle and high performance uniform class racing sailboat.
Every boat forms a team of 2 to 6 people. Special skills are not so important as they will be accompanied by an instructor, who will introduce the members to the yachting safety measurements and the principles of yachting during the experience. Those who value adventures and excitement will also be catered for; they will be able to participate in the cups and races. Sailing experience could also be considered to be interesting for the people who want to enjoy the city views and to explore Dubai from the other side.
Max Pinigin, CEO of Wind Rises, the sailing community, says: “Sailing is now one of the world’s most developing hobbies and sports, it has long-standing traditions, and we believe that Dubai is the perfect setting for the Wind Rises launch. We are transforming the sport and making it modern and affordable for everyone, and we hope to conduct this transformation as gracefully, as Dubai does.”
