Subject: [Q8Sailing] New to kuwait..would love to continue sailing

 

Hi!

I'm Isha,17 years old and new to Kuwait.I've taken a sailing course before lasting around 9 months or more at the Regatta Sailing Academy in Doha.In addition,I've sailed from Doha to Bahrain and back with my sailing crew in 2008.

I was wondering if I could join a club or something for sailing here since I'd really like to continue it.Also,I was wondering if I could take part in races since I really want to go a step further with sailing.

Thanks!

go about signing him up.

Thank you,

Nadia

Hello ... i would like to take sailing training classes for beginners

Hi all,

I just wanted to confirm the details for the KOSA meeting.

We will ask that you arrive 7.00pm - for a 7.30pm start - please be prompt as I will cater for food based upon attendances at 7.30 unless you have RSVP's previously.

It will be held at the poolside of my apartment block called the Al Jazeera Centre.

For those of you unfamiliar with Salmiya it is located on the corner of Restaurant Street and Gulf Road (Diagonally opposite the Pizza Hut on the Seaside) coming up Gulf road towards Marina Mall from Salwa direction you take a LEFT at the new traffic lights go down about 100m and then turn RIGHT then the next RIGHT and continue along until you go over the speed bump near the tree - PARK anywhere. THe building is the wide tall white building that is marked Block 3, Block 2 and Block 1. Between Block 2 & 3 is a pathway the pool is on your RIGHT.

If coming down from Marina Mall area you will take a RIGHT at the Lights then follow instructions as above.

If lost call me on 675 3877 and I will endeavour to get you even more lost!

Any items that you feel you would like to be discussed at the meeting please email the committee in advance for inclusion on the adgenda.

You may bring towels and swim gear as the pool is available for our use during and after the meeting - there are showers and change rooms on site. Look forward to seeing you next week.

Ciao

The |Kuwait Offshore Sailing Association is an active sailing club based
in The Fahaheel Sea club in Fahaheel at the end of road 212. There are 11
keel boats there ranging from 24 to 40 ft. Six of the boats race regularly
every second Friday morning.

I suggest that you come to the next race at 8:00 am Frid 14th Dec to meet
the members of the club

I was there for a few days and I did not see any sailboat in any marina
or on the water! Is there any sailing acitivty there? Going to a place
where there are not chances to sail is craziness!

Thanks

I haven't been there for a long time but the Kuwait Offshore Sailing Association is still there and you will be able to find it on the internet with a link to their Commodore.

I'm asking a favour for old time's sake.  I was KOSA Vice Commodore
back in the eighties and was in the KOSA crew that entered the 1981
Fastnet.

I sailed a Carter 33 called Shamaal, registration KT-247-A. When I
left Kuwait in 1988 it was operated by a consortium of four (I
retained a quarter share)who may not have bothered to change the
official ownership record at the Ministry of Small Boats.

Please find out on my behalf who owns the boat now.  I ask this
because the boat was taken from Kuwait by a Dutchman called Bert
Hakker shortly after the First Gulf War and Bert abandoned the boat
in the UAE seven years ago, leaving it on a cradle at Kalba Port (on
the Gulf of Oman side of the country).

I recently found the boat while on a visit to Dubai and am keen to
rescue the dear old boat but without any papers no one can touch it.
Unfortunately the local municipality will scrap her if no one takes
responsibility for Shamaal soon.

This is a chore but I'm sure you will sympathise with my plight.  I
hate to see the old boat rotting in the sun.

Cheers,

Adam Reay

PS I have a load of photos of the old days.  If you want them for
your archives let me know.
