Omani women sailors making waves…

Excellent video: Al Jazeera’s Jo Gasiorowska speaks to Rising Tide Leadership Institute Ambassador Dee Caffari, and Oman’s women’s team – some of whom had never set foot on a sail boat until two years ago – about making waves in the professional sailing world. Despite a history of maritime trade and pearling, Omani sailors have been largely under-represented on the international sailing circuit. Now the country is trying to build on it’s maritime heritage, and train a new generation of young Omani sailors to compete at the top level of the sport… these Omani women are making history!
